E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efficacy of intracranial delivery of AAVrh.10SGSH gene therapy (LYS-SAF302) in improving or stabilizing the neurodevelopmental status of MPS IIIA patients after 24 months (main cohort), compared to the expected evolution based on natural history data. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the safety and tolerability of intracranial delivery of LYS-SAF302 and to assess the treatment efficacy on the behavioral, sleep disturbances of the patients and on quality of life for both patient and parents. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
11. Documented MPS IIIA diagnosis based on genotyping confirming the SGSH gene mutations
2. Age ≥ 30 months at screening (main cohort) or ≥6 months and < 30 months (ancillary cohort)
3. Cognitive DQ score on BSID-III ≥ 50%
4. Signed written informed consent before any study related procedure is performed
5. Medical status sufficiently stable, in the opinion of the investigator, to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
6. Confirmation by the study neurosurgeon and anesthesiologist of the feasibility of the neurosurgical procedure.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Homozygous for the S298P mutation or non-severe form of MPS IIIA, based on investigator’s judgement
2. Participation in another gene or cell therapy clinical trial
3. Past use of SGSH enzyme replacement therapy for a period exceeding 3 months. A washout period of at least 2 months is required prior to screening
4. Current participation in a clinical trial of another investigational medicinal product.
NOTE: Nutritional supplements, including Genistein at low dose (<150mg/Kg/day) are permitted if they are taken outside the context of an investigational trial
5. History of bleeding disorder or current use of medications that, in the opinion of the investigator, place them at risk of bleeding following surgery
6. Any condition that would contraindicate treatment with immunosuppressants such as
tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil or steroids
7. Rare and unrelated serious comorbidities e.g. Down syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage in the new-born period, or extreme low birth weight (<1500 grams)
8. History of poorly controlled seizure disorder
9. Any vaccination 1 month prior to the planned surgery
10. Visual or hearing impairment sufficient, in the clinical judgment of the investigator, to preclude cooperation with neurodevelopmental testing. Use of hearing aids is permitted. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy measurement is the comparison between the observed (post-surgery) evolution of cognitive development quotient (DQ) expressed by the ratio (DQ24/DQ0) between baseline and 24 months and the expected ratio calculated by applying a regression coefficient based on data from natural history studies.
Cognitive DQ will be assessed by neurocognitive testing using the Bayley Scale for Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition (BSID-III) or the Kauffman Assessment Battery for Children , 2nd Edition (KABC-II), depending on child’s age and ability. Primary and secondary analyses will be performed separately on the main and the ancillary cohorts. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Primary endpoint between baseline and 24 months. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- The change from baseline in the cognitive development age (DA) and cognitive
development quotient (DQ) assessed by neurocognitive tests (BSID III or KABCII)
at all timepoints
- The change from baseline in other DA and DQ (language and motor) assessed byneurocognitive tests (BSID III or KABC-II) at all timepoints
-The percentage of patients with stabilized development age (DA) at 12 months and 24 months
- The change from baseline in the total adaptive behavior composite standard score as measured by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS-II) at 12 months and 24 months and change from baseline in total behavior problem as measured
by the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) at 12 and 24 months
- The change in sleep pattern as measured by the Children Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) at 12 months and 24 months
- The change from baseline in the patient/parent quality of life
- The change from baseline in total cortical grey matter volume and white matter volume on MRI at 12 months and 24 months
- The change from baseline in relevant disease biomarkers in CSF and PBMC |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
BSID III, KABC-II and biomarkers will be assessed at all timepoints
DA, VABS-II, CBCL, CSHQ, ITQOL-SF47, GHQ, HUI-3, PSI-4-SFMRI at 12 and 24 months for the main cohort. Corresponding timepoint of primary interest for the young cohort will be when all patients from the young cohort have reached 4 years of age.
