Last updated: June 15, 2023
Sponsor: Neurogene Inc.
Overall Status: Active - Recruiting

Phase

1/2

Condition

Rett Syndrome

Treatment

NGN-401

Clinical Study ID

NCT05898620
  • Ages 4-10
  • Female

Study Summary

This study will evaluate the safety profile of the investigational gene therapy, NGN-401, in female children with typical Rett syndrome.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of typical Rett syndrome with a documented disease-causing mutation in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene
  • Current anti-epileptic drug regimen has been stable for at least 12 weeks
  • Participant and caregiver must reside within a 2-hour drive of the study center for at least 3 months following treatment

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Normal or near normal hand function
  • Has a current clinically significant condition other than Rett syndrome
  • Presence of a concomitant medical condition that precludes intracerebroventricular administration, or use of anesthetics needed for study related procedures
  • Grossly abnormal psychomotor development in the first 6 months of life
  • A history of other genetic disorders or neurological conditions, such as stroke, brain tumor, or autoimmune processes affecting the central nervous system

Other inclusion or exclusion criteria apply.

Study Design

Total Participants: 5
Treatment Group(s): 1
Primary Treatment: NGN-401
Phase: 1/2
Study Start date:
June 05, 2023
Estimated Completion Date:
October 05, 2029

Study Description

The study is a phase 1/2, open-label study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of administration of an adeno-associated viral vector serotype 9 (AAV9), using Neurogene's proprietary transgene regulation technology. NGN-401 contains a full-length human MECP2 gene which is designed to express therapeutic levels of the MECP2 protein while avoiding overexpression.

The study treatment will be administered under general anesthesia via intracerebroventricular (ICV) delivery. Each participant will be followed for safety and preliminary efficacy for 5 years after treatment and is expected to enroll in a long-term follow-up study for 10 years.
