RGX-111 is a gene therapy which is intended to deliver a functional copy of the α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) gene to the central nervous system. This is a safety and dose ranging study to determine whether RGX-111 is safe and tolerated by patients with MPS I.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is a rare recessive genetic disease caused by a deficiency of α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) leading to an accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in tissues of patients with MPS I. While currently available therapies, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), provide clinical benefit over untreated disease progression, they still possess significant limitations. ERT does not cross the blood-brain barrier and, therefore, does not treat the central nervous system (CNS) effects of the disease, and HSCT has clinically relevant morbidity and mortality and is not able to completely treat the CNS effects. RGX-111 is designed to deliver a functioning gene enabling the production of IDUA in the brain. This is a Phase I/II, first-in-human, multicenter, open-label, dose escalation study of RGX-111. Up to 11 subjects with MPS I will be treated in 2 dose cohorts and will receive a single dose of RGX-111. Safety will be the primary focus for the initial 24 weeks after treatment (primary study period) whereupon, subjects will continue to be assessed (safety and efficacy) for up to a total of 104 weeks following treatment with RGX-111.
