In observance of Rare Disease Day, held annually on February 28, catch up on some of the latest data updates from clinical trials for rare diseases. ... Over the past few weeks, CGTLive has covered news and updates from clinical trials of cell and gene therapies in development for patients with a number of rare diseases, including data that were presented at AVROBIO’s AVR-RD-02, an investigational hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy, has demonstrated sustained improvements in a 12-year-old male patient with type 3 Gaucher disease.5 Following myeloablative conditioning with busulfan, the patient received AVR-RD-02, which is comprised of autologous CD34+ cells that have been modified ex-vivo to express functional glucocerebrosidase, the disease-targeted enzyme, in 2 infusions lots. All patients achieved hematological recovery, stable engraftment, and restoration of arylsulfatase A enzyme to normal or supranormal levels by 3 months in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and by 3 to 12 months in cerebrospinal fluid. FBX-101 (Forge Biologics) gene therapy restored galactocerebrosidase (GALC) activity and supported normal white matter development in the first 2 patients with infantile Krabbe disease dosed in the phase 1/2 RESKUE clinical trial (NCT04693598).7 Efficacy signals included GALC levels 174-fold above normal controls in plasma and 3-to-10 fold above normal in cerebrospinal fluid. For Rare Disease Day, which is observed annually on February 28, the CGTLive team has gathered some of the latest updates on rare disease research below: Passage Bio’s PBGM01, an investigational adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-based gene therapy currently being evaluated in the phase 1/2 Imagine-01 clinical trial (NCT04713475) for the treatment of infantile GM1 gangliosidosis, was shown to have a favorable safety profile and demonstrated dose-dependent changes in biomarkers.1 PBGM01 is intended to provide a functional copy of GLB1, the disease-targeted gene, via AAVhu68, and is administered to the central nervous system (CNS) with an intra-cisterna magna injection.

The efficacy data included 4 patients who had discontinued their SOC therapy in a time frame of 4 to 11 weeks after being treated with FLT201. Newly updated data from Spur Therapeutics’ phase 1/2 GALILEO-1 clinical trial (NCT05324943), which is evaluating the adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-based gene therapy avigbagene parvec (also known as FLT201) for the treatment of Gaucher disease, has shown that patients who received the gene therapy have maintained clinical benefit for up to 2 years post treatment.1,2 The data were presented at the European Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ESGCT) 32nd Annual Congress, held October 7 to 10, in Seville, Spain. They still have unmet needs, their bone complications are ongoing, so I don't think as clinicians we should underestimate how it's impacting the patients, and we should always look at better therapies and explore better options.” · Stay at the forefront of cutting-edge science with CGT—your direct line to expert insights, breakthrough data, and real-time coverage of the latest advancements in cell and gene therapy. However, it was noted that even ALT increases within the normal range were considered ADRs because the trial protocol considered such increases an adverse event of special interest. Two patients had ALT increases above the normal range that were considered related to the gene therapy product, but both cases resolved. In one of these patients, it was stated that the antibodies did not have an effect on efficacy. In the other patient, who remains on SOC, early GCase expression and lyso-Gb1 reduction were lost, which was deemed potentially related to anti-GCase antibodies and a COVID-19 infection that occurred in the month before gene therapy treatment.
