Gene therapy for adults with Hemophilia B and specific antibodies

Phase 3b, Open-label, Multicenter, Single-dose Study Investigating Efficacy and Safety of CSL222 (Etranacogene Dezaparvovec) Gene Therapy Administered to Adult Subjects With Severe or Moderately Severe Hemophilia B With Detectable Pretreatment AAV5 Neutralizing Antibodies

Phase 3 Interventional CSL Behring · NCT06003387

This study is testing a new gene therapy called CSL222 to see if it can help adults with Hemophilia B who have certain antibodies reduce their bleeding risks.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of CSL222, a gene therapy designed for adults with severe or moderately severe Hemophilia B who have detectable neutralizing antibodies against adeno-associated virus serotype 5 (AAV5). Participants will receive CSL222 to assess its ability to reduce bleeding risks associated with their condition. The study focuses on individuals who have been on routine factor IX prophylaxis and have a history of exposure to factor replacement therapy. The trial aims to determine if this gene therapy can effectively manage their hemophilia symptoms.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with severe or moderately severe Hemophilia B and detectable AAV5 neutralizing antibodies.

Not a fit: Patients without detectable AAV5 neutralizing antibodies or those with mild Hemophilia B may not benefit from this therapy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could significantly reduce bleeding episodes and improve the quality of life for patients with Hemophilia B.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies involving gene therapies for hemophilia have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this approach.

* Has 2 consecutive detectable AAV5 NAb titer results between Screening and Visit L-Final using a validated AAV5 NAb assay (based on central laboratory results).
* Has greater than (\>) 150 previous exposure days to FIX replacement therapy.
* Has been on stable FIX prophylaxis for at least 2 months before Screening.

* Known history of allergy to corticosteroids or known medical condition that would require chronic administration of oral corticosteroids.
* Known uncontrolled allergic conditions or allergy / hypersensitivity to any component of the CSL222 excipients (ie, sucrose, potassium chloride, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, and disodium hydrogen phosphate).
* Previous AAV5 gene therapy treatment.
* Receipt of an experimental agent or device within 60 days before Screening until the end of the study.
