This open-label Phase I/II study gives a single intravenous dose of LY-M001, an rAAV8 gene therapy, to adults with Gaucher disease type 1. Phase I uses stepwise dose escalation in small cohorts; Phase II expands at a recommended dose. The main follow-up is 52 weeks, with longer-term follow-up planned up to 5 years.

What it is studying. The study is testing a single IV infusion of LY-M001 to evaluate safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics, and effects on glucocerebrosidase (GCase) activity and other disease measures in adults with Gaucher disease type 1.

What the researchers hope to learn. Scientific goals are to assess safety and tolerability of LY-M001, characterize immune and drug-related measures, and collect data on GCase activity, GCase protein levels, Lyso-GL1, blood counts, liver and spleen volume, bone measures, and other clinical and laboratory outcomes.

What this study is about

The study's own summary, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov. Underlined terms have a short explanation.

Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by mutations in the GBA1 gene, which leads to a lack or reduction of GCase activity. The consequences of this deficiency are generally attributed to the accumulation of the GCase substrate, Glucosylceramide (GlcCer), in macrophages in the liver, spleen, kidney, bone, lung, and even the brain, inducing their transformation into Gaucher cells whose cell cytoplasm presenting a characteristic "crumpled tissue paper" appearance, leading to pathological changes in involved tissues and organs.LY-M001 Injection is an rAAV8 vector gene therapy product. It can specifically transduce the target organ liver after a single intravenous administration and express the GCase protein in liver cells for a long period of time.

Study description and what participation involves

The study's detailed description, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Show the detailed description from the registry

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetics of LY-M001 injection in patients with GD1 using a multicenter, open, single-arm, single-dose, dose-escalation and extended clinical design. This study includes the main study phase and the long-term follow-up study phase. The primary study period is 52 weeks after LY-M001 infusion, and the long-term follow-up period is 53 weeks to 5 years after LY-M001 infusion.Subjects who complete the 52 weeks follow up period or who prematurely withdraw in this study will enter the long-term follow-up study phase to obtain long-term assessment data. Phase I is a dose escalation study consists of three preset dose groups, including one rollback dose group and two incremental dose groups, which are: Backdose (5 × 10\^12 vg/kg) group, dose group 1 (1.5 × 10\^13 vg/kg) and dose group 2 (3.0 × 10\^13 vg/kg), where dose group 1 was the starting dose of the Phase I study. Three subjects are enrolled in each dose group one by one, and each subject is added to the next subject after at least 28 days of DLT observation to determine safety. Phase I studies enrolled approximately 6 to 12 (up to 12) evaluable subjects. Phase II is a dose expansion study. After all subjects in Phase I study have completed the Day 28 (D28) observation following LY-M001 infusion, the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) will be determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC), which will also decide whether to proceed to the dose-expansion Phase II study.

Participants receive a single peripheral intravenous (IV) infusion of LY-M001 and then attend regular follow-up visits. Follow-up includes safety monitoring (blood tests, vital signs, ECG, physical exams), repeated measures of GCase activity and blood biomarkers, MRI scans to measure liver, spleen and bone marrow, and bone density testing (DXA). The main follow-up period is 52 weeks after infusion, with a long-term follow-up from 53 weeks up to 5 years. Pregnancy testing, contraception requirements, and a prohibition on blood donation for at least one year are required during the study.

How the study is structured. Open-label, non-randomized, single-group interventional study. Phase I is dose-escalation with three preset dose cohorts (including a lower 'backdose' and two higher doses); small groups of participants are enrolled sequentially to monitor short-term safety. After a safety review, Phase II enrolls more people at the recommended dose. Participants receive one IV infusion and attend visits for assessments over 52 weeks, then enter long-term follow-up up to 5 years.

Terms used on this page · explanations by MedicalUpdates.ai

informed consent form
The process of explaining a study, including its risks and what participation involves, so that a person can decide freely whether to take part. Consent is usually documented in writing, and a participant can choose to leave the study later.
half-life
The time it takes for the amount of a drug in the body to fall by half. 'Five half-lives' is often used as the point at which a previous drug has essentially left the body.
at screening
The checks done before enrolment to see whether a person qualifies, such as tests, scans or a review of medical history.
childbearing potential
Studies often ask participants who could become pregnant, or could father a child, to use contraception during the study and for a period afterwards, because the effect of the treatment on a pregnancy is unknown.
investigational
A treatment that is being tested and has not been approved for this use. It may be approved for a different condition. Being studied does not mean it works or is available outside the study.
ULN
The highest value of a blood test that a laboratory considers normal. Criteria such as '≤ 3 × ULN' mean the result must be no more than three times that value.
immunosuppressive
A medicine that reduces the activity of the immune system. Studies of autoimmune conditions often require a stable dose, a prior failure, or a washout of such medicines.
Inclusion Criteria
The conditions a person must meet to be considered for the study, for example a confirmed diagnosis, an age range or a test result.
Exclusion Criteria
The conditions that rule a person out even if they meet the inclusion criteria, for example other illnesses, certain medicines or pregnancy.
pharmacokinetics
How the body absorbs, distributes, breaks down and removes a drug. It is studied by measuring drug levels or related substances at set times after a dose.
single-arm
All participants receive the same treatment or follow the same plan. There is no comparison group within the study.
dose-escalation
Groups of participants receive increasing doses of a treatment, one group after another, to find a dose that can be given safely.
long-term follow-up
Observation that continues for years after the study treatment, often required for gene and cell therapies.
follow up
The period after treatment or enrolment during which participants are observed or contacted, for example to record side effects or outcomes.
Phase I
An early-stage study, usually small, mainly to check safety, side effects and how much of a treatment can be given. Whether it works is not the main question yet.
DLT
A side effect, defined in advance, that is severe enough to limit how far the dose can be raised in a dose-escalation study. How many such events stop escalation is set by the study's rules.
Phase II
A study that tests whether a treatment has the intended effect and continues to check safety, usually in a larger group than phase 1.
Recommended Phase 2 Dose
The dose chosen at the end of a phase 1 study for testing in later studies, based on safety and other measurements.
