Overall Status: Active - Recruiting

Phase

1/2

Condition

Rett Syndrome

Treatment

NGN-401

Clinical Study ID

NCT05898620
RTT-200
  • Ages 4-10
  • Female

Study Summary

This study will evaluate the safety profile of the investigational gene therapy, NGN-401, in female children with typical Rett syndrome.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of typical Rett syndrome with a documented disease-causing mutation in themethyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene

  • Current anti-epileptic drug regimen has been stable for at least 12 weeks

  • Participant and caregiver should reside within a 2-hour drive of the study centerfor at least 3 months following treatment

  • Participant must have never taken trofinetide or have taken trofinetide anddiscontinued due to tolerability, lack of efficacy, or other reasons. FollowingNGN-401 dosing, trofinetide may be initiated after a specified time period and withthe support of the treating clinician

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Normal or near normal hand function

  • Has a current clinically significant condition other than Rett syndrome

  • Presence of a concomitant medical condition that precludes intracerebroventricularadministration, or use of anesthetics needed for study related procedures

  • Grossly abnormal psychomotor development in the first 6 months of life

  • A history of other genetic disorders or neurological conditions, such as stroke,brain tumor, or autoimmune processes affecting the central nervous system

Other inclusion or exclusion criteria apply.

Study Design

Total Participants: 16
Treatment Group(s): 1
Primary Treatment: NGN-401
Phase: 1/2
Study Start date:
June 13, 2023
Estimated Completion Date:
October 31, 2029

Study Description

The study is a phase 1/2, open-label study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of administration of an adeno-associated viral vector serotype 9 (AAV9), using Neurogene's proprietary transgene regulation technology. NGN-401 contains a full-length human MECP2 gene which is designed to express therapeutic levels of the MECP2 protein while avoiding overexpression.

The study treatment will be administered under general anesthesia via intracerebroventricular (ICV) delivery. Each participant will be followed for safety and preliminary efficacy for 5 years after treatment and is expected to enroll in a long-term follow-up study for 10 years.
