ALXN2350 for adults with BAG3-related dilated cardiomyopathy
Official title: A Phase 1/2, Open-Label, Multicenter, Dose Finding and Dose Expansion Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of ALXN2350 Gene Therapy in Adult Participants With BAG3 Mutation Associated Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Run by Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. · NCT07218887 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether a single IV infusion of ALXN2350 is safe and helps adults who have dilated cardiomyopathy caused by a BAG3 mutation.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic BAG3 mutation, a clinical diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy, stable heart-failure medications, and adequate echocardiographic windows are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with pre-existing antibodies to AAV9, a different authoritative genetic cause of DCM, decompensated heart failure, or other exclusion criteria are unlikely to receive benefit from this treatment.

What this trial studies
This is an open-label Phase 1/2 dose-finding and dose-expansion study that gives a single intravenous infusion of ALXN2350 to adults with genetically confirmed BAG3-associated DCM. The primary focus is safety and tolerability across escalating doses, with expansion cohorts used to look for preliminary signs of clinical benefit using cardiac imaging and heart-failure measures. Key eligibility includes a pathogenic or likely pathogenic BAG3 variant, stable guideline-directed heart failure therapy, and adequate echocardiographic windows, while participants with pre-existing AAV9 antibodies or another known genetic cause of DCM are excluded. Study procedures include baseline and follow-up clinical assessments and imaging at U.S. sites to monitor efficacy signals and adverse events after the infusion.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, ALXN2350 could offer a one-time, gene-targeted treatment that stabilizes or improves heart function in adults with BAG3-associated DCM.
How similar studies have gone: AAV9-based gene therapies have shown success in other genetic disorders, but gene therapy for BAG3-associated dilated cardiomyopathy is largely novel and unproven in humans.
