E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Stage 1 (Phase 1/2) Primary • To evaluate the safety of single IV doses of UX701 in patients with Wilson disease • To select the UX701 dose with the best benefit/risk profile based on the totality of safety and efficacy data at Week 52
Stage 2 (Phase 3) Primary • To evaluate the effect of UX701 on copper regulation based on 24-hour urinary copper concentration and percent reduction in SOC medication at Week 52
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Stage 2 (Phase 3) Secondary • To evaluate the effect of UX701 on biomarkers of copper metabolism and regulation • To evaluate the effect of UX701 on patient- and clinician-reported outcomes • To evaluate the effect of UX701 on the need for continued SOC medication to maintain copper regulation • To evaluate the effect of UX701 on liver function and overall health |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Optional liver biopsy substudy: Gene transfer with UX701 has the potential to restore ATP7B function, establish normal copper metabolism, reduce elevated copper in the liver, and improve liver health. An optional liver biopsy substudy will assess the tissue level effects of UX701. Subjects who consent to participate in the substudy will undergo a liver biopsy during the Screening Period and at Week 52. The substudy aims to enroll up to 20 subjects in Stage 2. Subjects in Stage 1 may participate in the substudy if interested. Data from subjects in Stage 1 will provide supportive evidence for the respective dose cohort. |
