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, single-arm dose escalation study of RGX 111. Up to 21 subjects with MPS I will be treated in 2 dose cohorts and will receive a single dose of RGX-111 administered using an investigational device by IC or IVR injection. Safety will be the primary focus for the initial 24 weeks after treatment (primary study period). Following completion of the primary study period, subjects will continue to be assessed (safety and efficacy) for up to a total of 104 weeks following treatment with RGX-111. At the end of the study, all subjects will be invited to participate in a long-term observational follow-up study.

Evaluation of the impact of RGX-111 on neurodevelopmental parameters of cognitive, behavioral, and adaptive function (WASI-II)
Change from baseline in neurodevelopmental parameters as measured by the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI-II). The WASI-II assesses intelligence for individuals from ages 6 to 90 years old. The assessment yields composite scores that estimates verbal comprehension and perceptual reasoning abilities. The subtests have different scoring ranges, with higher subtest raw scores indicating completion of more complex items, but can be normalized for cross-subtest comparison.
Time frame: 104 Weeks
Evaluation of the impact of RGX-111 on neurodevelopmental parameters of cognitive, behavioral, and adaptive function (BSID-II)
Change from baseline in neurodevelopmental parameters as measured by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development Third Edition (BSID-III). The BSID-III assesses children with developmental functioning ranging from 1-42 months. In this study, participants will be assessed for the Cognitive, Language, and Motor domains. The domains have different scoring ranges, with higher subtest raw scores indicating better function, but can be normalized for cross-domain comparison.
Time frame: 104 Weeks
Evaluation of the impact of RGX-111 on neurodevelopmental parameters of cognitive, behavioral, and adaptive function (WPPSI-IV)
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Change from baseline in neurodevelopmental parameters as measured by the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV). The WPPSI-IV measures cognitive development in young children from ages 30-91 months of age. This study utilizes the General Ability Index (GAI) comprised of 4 core subtests depending on the child's age. The subtests have different scoring ranges, with higher subtest raw scores indicating completion of more complex items but can be normalized for cross-subtest comparison.
Time frame: 104 Weeks
Evaluation of the long-term impact of RGX-111 on neurodevelopmental parameters of cognitive, behavioral, and adaptive function (VABS-III)
Change in baseline adaptive behavior as measured by Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Third Edition (VABS-III). The VABS-III assesses adaptive behavior in individuals from infancy to age 90 years. In this study, 4 domains of Communication, Daily Living Skills, Socialization, and Motor Skills will be assessed. The domains have different scoring ranges, with higher subdomain raw scores indicating greater function, but can be normalized for cross-domain comparison
