Brief Summary
This is the first study of AMT-130 in patients with early manifest HD and is designed to establish safety and proof-of-concept (PoC). CT-AMT-130-01 is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, first-in-human (FIH) st...
Detailed Description
AMT-130 is an investigational, single administration gene therapy intended to modify the disease course for HD. Preclinical studies have shown that AMT-130 lowers huntingtin protein and is associated ...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to the study and study-related procedure
- Participants 25 to 65 years of age of both sexes
- Cohorts 1, 2, \& 4: Early manifest HD as defined by a UHDRS total functional capacity (TFC) score of 9 to 13 and EITHER a diagnostic confidence level (DCL) of 4 OR a DCL of 3 if the subject either meets the definition of multidimensional manifest HD (UHDRS question 80) or has cognitive symptoms
- Cohort 3: Early manifest HD as defined by a UHDRS TFC score of ≥ 11 and EITHER a DCL of 4 or a DCL of 3 with either a positive "Yes" response to UHDRS Question 80 (multidimensional manifest diagnosis on motor, cognitive, behavioral, functional) or DSM5 criteria for cognitive disorder (Movement Disorder Society Task Force criteria).
- HTT gene expansion testing with the presence of ≥40 CAG repeats
- Striatal MRI volume requirements per hemisphere:
- Cohorts 1, 2, \& 3: Putamen ≥2.5 cm\^3 (per side); Caudate ≥2.0 cm\^3 (per side)
- Cohort 4: Putamen \<2.5 cm\^3 (on either side); Caudate \<2.0 cm\^3 (on either side)
- All HD concomitant medications (addressing motor, behavioral, and cognitive symptoms) must be stable for 3 months prior to Screening with no change in clinical symptoms requiring change in medication prior to anticipated administration procedure
- Able and willing to comply with all procedures and the study visit schedule as outlined in the protocol
- All female participants of childbearing potential (FOCP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening, (and Visit 1A, as appropriate), a negative pregnancy urine dipstick at Baseline, and not be breastfeeding. All FOCPs and sexually mature males must be compliant with a highly effective birth control method.
Exclusion
- Evidence of suicide risk
- Receipt of an experimental agent within 60 days or five half-lives prior to Screening or anytime over the duration of this study.
- Participation in an investigational trial or investigational paradigm (such as exercise/physical activity, cognitive therapy, brain stimulation) within 60 days prior to Screening or anytime over the duration of this study.
- Presence of an implanted deep brain stimulation device, ventriculoperitoneal or other CSF shunt, or other implanted catheter
- Any history of gene therapy, RNA or DNA targeted HD specific investigational agents, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), cell transplantation or any other experimental brain surgery.
- Any contraindication to 3.0 Tesla MRI as per local guidelines
- Brain and spinal pathology that may interfere with the surgical delivery of AMT-130 or represents a significant neurologic comorbid disorder
- Any contraindication to lumbar puncture as per local guidelines
- Malignancy within 5 years of Screening, except for basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has been successfully treated
- Hospitalization for any major medical or surgical procedure involving general anesthesia within 12 weeks of Screening or planned during the study
- Current or recurrent disease, (including pre-existing cardiovascular or pulmonary conditions) infection, or other significant concurrent medical condition or medications that could confound clinical and laboratory evaluations or could affect a participant's safety or their ability to undergo the neurosurgical procedure or comply with the procedures and study visit schedule
- Known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to the investigational product(s), closely-related compounds, or any of the stated ingredients
- Any known allergy to gadoteridol (ProHance)
- Screening laboratory values (as measured by the central laboratory): a. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>2 × upper limit of normal (ULN) b. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>2 × ULN c. Total bilirubin \>2 × ULN d. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) \>2 × ULN e. Creatinine \>1.5 × ULN f. Platelet count \<100,000/mm3g.Prothrombin time (PT) \>1.2 × ULN h. Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \>1.2 × ULN
- Known allergy, sensitivity, or other contraindication to medications in the immunosuppression regimen in this protocol.
- Any participant with an active infection (e.g., coronavirus disease 2019 \[COVID-19\]) at Screening or at the time of treatment that requires medical intervention. Participants may rescreen, or if screened eligible and an open surgical slot is available, may receive treatment after recovery.
- Cohort 4 ONLY: Inability to establish a safe trajectory to administer AMT-130 to the target structures, as assessed by neuroimaging.
