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.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
