RECRUITING

An Open-label Study to Investigate ECUR-506 in Male Babies Less Than 9 Months of Age With Neonatal Onset OTC Deficiency

Lead Sponsor:

iECURE, Inc.

Conditions:

Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency

Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency Disease

Eligibility:

MALE

24-7 years

Phase:

PHASE1

PHASE2

Brief Summary

Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, the most common urea cycle disorder, is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by a genetic defect in a liver enzyme responsible for detoxifying of ammonia...

Detailed Description

The study drug, ECUR-506, is an investigational gene editing therapy. Gene editing is an approach used to repair, replace, or introduce functional copies of genes that are not working properly. ECUR-5...

Eligibility Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male sex
  2. Gestational or adjusted (corrected) gestational age ≥ 37 weeks
  3. Age at screening is 24 hours to 7 months
  4. Weight ≥ 3.5 kg and ≤ 13.5 kg at screening
  5. Has received age-appropriate vaccinations
  6. Genetically confirmed OTCD defined by genetic confirmation of an OTC variant (pathogenic or likely pathogenic) associated with severe neonatal OTCD defined below in Inclusion Criteria #7 or has the same OTC variant as a family member who had severe neonatal OTCD within first week of life.
  7. Severe neonatal OTCD defined by hyperammonemic crisis with elevated ammonia level of >560 μmol/L and clinical symptoms within first week of life, and currently receiving treatment with both dietary protein restriction and nitrogen scavenger therapy.
  8. Current or historical biochemical profile consistent with OTCD
  9. Participant's parent(s)/LAR must be able to comprehend and be willing to provide a signed IRB/IEC-approved ICF.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Neonatal diagnosis of severe to profound Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy due to birth injury
  2. Requiring urgent liver transplant due to liver failure as assessed by the PI.
  3. Contiguous gene deletion involving the OTC gene and including at least the CYBB gene on the telomeric side or the TSPAN7 gene on the centromeric side.
  4. Known or suspected major organ injury/dysfunction/anomalies.
  5. Vital sign and laboratory abnormalities outside of reference ranges.
  6. Treatment with any other gene therapy or gene editing therapy
  7. Co-enrollment in any other study unless approved by the sponsor.
  8. Any condition, that in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the safety of the participant or study data
  9. Documented vertical transmission of HepA/HepB/HepC
  10. Documented in-utero teratogen, substance, and/or alcohol exposure, which in the opinion of the Investigator may increase the participant's risk of developmental delays, congenital anomalies, and/or significant medical complications
