Willing to practice barrier contraception until at least three consecutive semen samples after vector administration are negative for vector sequences. 5. Level of neutralizing anti-AAV-S3 antibodies below the limit of the pre-established clinical cutoff using an in vitro transduction inhibition assay within the 4 weeks prior to FLT180a administration. 6. Has demonstrated ability to accurately, independently and in a timely manner enter bleed diary data during the lead-in study, as judged by the investigator. 7. At least 150 exposure days to FIX concentrates. 8. At least 6 months of satisfactory controlled prospective baseline data for bleeding events and FIX consumption from the FLT-01 lead-in study (ECLIPSE). |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Any history of alcohol or drug dependence. 2. Presence of neutralizing anti human FIX antibodies (inhibitor; determined by the Nijmegen modified Bethesda inhibitor assay) at the time of enrolment or a previous history of FIX inhibitor. 3. Subjects at high risk of thromboembolic events. 4. Evidence of advanced liver fibrosis. 5. Prior treatment with a gene transfer medicinal product. 6. Subjects with active hepatitis B or C. 7. Serological evidence of HIV-1, not controlled with anti-viral therapy and as evidenced by cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)+ counts ≤200 µL. 8. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) immunoglobulin G positive subjects who are CMV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive at screening. 9. Known coagulation disorder other than hemophilia B. 10. History of uncontrolled cardiac failure, unstable angina, or myocardial infarction or other acute cardiac conditions requiring clinical management in the past 6 months. 11. Planned surgical procedure within the next 12 months requiring prophylactic FIX treatment. 12. Known active severe infection (including documented coronavirus (COVID)-19 infection), or any other significant concurrent, uncontrolled medical condition. |
