Study summary

This was a multinational, open-label study to assess the efficacy and safety of AVR-RD-01 in approximately 15 male subjects, who were 16 years of age or older and postpubertal with a confirmed diagnosis of classic Fabry disease based on deficient alpha galactosidase A (AGA) enzyme activity who were considered treatment naïve, i.e., had not previously received treatment with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and/or chaperone therapy within 3 years of the time of Screening.

Read the detailed description

The duration of each subject's participation in this study was approximately 64 weeks (or 1 year, 12 weeks), comprised of five study periods (Screening, Baseline, Pre-transplant, Transplant, and Post-transplant Follow-up). During the Screening Period (approximately 8 weeks), written informed consent (and assent, if applicable) was obtained and the subject had completed other Screening procedures to confirm study eligibility. Once study eligibility was confirmed, the subjects entered the Baseline Period (up to 3 days) during which time assessments would have been performed to establish a pre-transplant baseline. Once baseline assessments were completed, the subject entered the Pre-transplant Period (approximately 6 weeks) during which time mobilization, apheresis, AVR-RD-01 investigational drug product preparation and testing for release, and conditioning regimen administration to achieve myeloablation took place. Following completion of the Pre-transplant Period, the subject entered the Transplant Period (1 day) during which time AVR-RD-01 infusion took place. After AVR-RD-01 infusion, the subject entered the Post-transplant Follow-up Period (approximately 48 weeks), during which time periodic safety and efficacy assessments were performed to assess measures of engraftment, clinical response, and safety post-transplant.

In January 2022, the study was terminated early due to a decision by the study sponsor, to deprioritize its Fabry disease development program, and therefore, some subjects (n=5) did not complete the study (i.e., Week 48). Subsequently, in August 2023, the long-term follow-up study (AVRO-RD-01-LTF01), was also terminated early due to the decision by the sponsor to terminate the development program for Fabry disease, and therefore, no subjects completed the 15-year long-term follow-up study. This decision to terminate was not based on any safety or medical reasons.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. The AE/SAE are also inclusive of any abnormalities in Clinical Laboratory Tests, Vital Signs and in Electrocardiographs (ECGs). Of the 13 serious adverse events, no SAEs reported were considered related to AVR RD 01. Of the 354 adverse events, no AEs were considered related to AVR RD 01. The SAEs and AEs reported in the study were attributed to the conditioning agent used, the underlying disease, comorbid conditions, study procedures and concomitant medications.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48 post gene therapy

  2. Change From Baseline in Immunogenicity of AVR-RD-01

    Number of subjects with changes in anti-AGA antibodies from Baseline to post infusion timepoints. Unite of measure: Number of subjects negative at baseline but positive at post-treatment timepoints. A negative or zero result (titer lower or unchanged at post-infusion timepoints compare to Baseline) indicates no immune response to the therapeutic protein.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48 post gene therapy

  3. Presence of Replication Competent Lentivirus (RCL)

    The "Presence of RCL" is a theoretical risk of lentiviral gene therapy treatment based on the theory that it may be possible for inadvertent generation of RCL caused either by recombination of the lentiviral vector plasmids during the vector production process or by mobilization of proviral DNA in vivo by infectious retroviruses (HIV). The absence of RCL is a positive indicator of safety.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48 post gene therapy

  4. Evaluation of Aberrant Clonal Expansion

    Integration Site Analysis (ISA) uses next generation sequencing to identify junction sites between the integrated therapeutic transgene and the host genome. Samples are analyzed for the emergence of clonality (defined as (a single clone accounting for greater than 20% of the population) and whether any integration site is within or near a known oncogene.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48 post gene therapy

  5. Change From Baseline in the Average Number of Gb3 Inclusions (ie, Myelinosomes) Per Kidney Peritubular Capillary (PTC) Per Subject

    Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) Inclusions in Peritubular Capillaries (PTC) on Kidney Biopsy. Electron microscopic images of kidney biopsy samples were taken and read centrally by two independent renal pathologists, each of whom scored the average number of Gb3 inclusions per kidney PTC per subject using a quantification method. Healthy renal tissue would have no Gb3 inclusions. A reduction from baseline is desirable.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48 post gene therapy

Secondary outcomes

  1. Average Vector Copy Number (VCN) in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes as Assessed by Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and/or Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (ddPCR)

    Vector Copy Number (VCN) is a measurement of the number of copies of the therapeutic transgene found in a sample, relative to copies of a reference gene in the human genome. This is an estimate of the number of integration sites per cell (on average). A VCN of 1 would signify that a sample of cells evaluated contains on average at least one \[working\] copy of the therapeutic transgene per cell.

    Time frame: At Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  2. Change From Baseline (CFB) in AGA Enzyme Activity Level in Plasma and Peripheral Blood Leukocytes (PBLs)

    Treatment-naïve Fabry patients are deficient in alpha-galactosidase A (AGA) enzyme activity due to mutations in the GLA gene. Any therapeutic option offered should aim to increase the amount of available AGA enzyme. This assay measured the AGA enzyme activity levels in plasma and PBLs. It should be noted that the measurement in plasma reflects the amount of "free" AGA enzyme that has been released from cells into the extracellular space and is therefore considered a more indirect measure of AGA enzyme activity, compared to the result in PBLs which is more of a direct measure of enzyme within cells. In both cases, enzyme activity is expected to increase from Baseline to the post-infusion timepoints.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  3. Change From Baseline in Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) Biomarkers for Fabry Disease in Plasma

    Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) is the substrate that accumulates in the lysosomes of patients affected by Fabry Disease as a result of deficiencies in AGA enzyme activity. Treatment-naive patients are expected to have high levels of Gb3 in their lysosomes and correspondingly elevated levels in plasma. Treatment with AVR-RD-01 is intended to replace the missing AGA enzymatic activity, which allows degradation of accumulated Gb3 substrate in the lysosomes and reductions in the levels of circulating Gb3 in plasma.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  4. Change From Baseline in Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) Biomarkers for Fabry Disease in Urine

    Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) is the substrate that accumulates in the lysosomes of patients affected by Fabry Disease as a result of deficiencies in AGA enzyme activity. Treatment-naive patients are expected to have high levels of Gb3 in their lysosomes and correspondingly elevated levels in urine. Treatment with AVR-RD-01 is intended to replace the missing AGA enzymatic activity, which allows degradation of accumulated Gb3 substrate in the lysosomes and reductions in the levels of excreted Gb3 in urine.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  5. Change From Baseline in Substrate (i.e. Gb3) in Skin Biopsy

    Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) is the substrate that accumulates in the lysosomes of patients affected by Fabry Disease as a result of deficiencies in AGA enzyme activity. Treatment-naive patients are expected to have high levels of Gb3 in their lysosomes and correspondingly elevated levels in tissue samples. Treatment with AVR-RD-01 is intended to replace the missing AGA enzymatic activity, which allows degradation of accumulated Gb3 substrate in the lysosomes and reductions in the levels of measured Gb3 in tissues.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  6. Change From Baseline in Renal Function as Assessed by Measured Glomerular Filtration Rate (mGFR)

    mGFR is a measure of the time the kidney takes to filter products that the body does not naturally produce.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48 post gene therapy

  7. Change From Baseline in Renal Function as Assessed by Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

    eGFR is the measure to evaluate kidney function. It is the estimated amount of blood that is filtered through all glomeruli in a given time.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  8. Change From Baseline in Renal Function as Assessed by Urine Total Protein Levels

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  9. Change From Baseline in Renal Function as Assessed by Urine Albumin Levels

    A healthy kidney only allows very small amounts of albumin to pass from the blood into the urine. An increased level of albumin in urine (albuminuria) is a marker of renal damage.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  10. Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular Mass Index (LVMI) as Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    LVMI is a surrogate of left ventricular hypertrophy. An increase in LVMI is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48 post gene therapy

  11. Change From Baseline in Abdominal Pain and Stool Consistency as Assessed by the Diary for Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms-Diarrhea (DIBSS-D)

    DIBSS-D assesses bowel habits and abdominal symptoms over a period of time. It was administered daily for 14 days commencing at each study visit. Stool Consistency scale has been converted to a numeric rating scale for ease of analysis, where 1=Very hard; 2=Hard; 3=Neither too hard nor too soft; 4=Loose but not lumpy; 5=Very loose and watery. The median of each 14-day period was derived per patient, per visit before deriving the group median. Group median at Baseline (pre-treatment) was 3.540 (n=9). Change from baseline (CFB) is presented below. An increase CFB indicates softening of the stools, and a decrease CFB indicates hardening of the stools. Abdominal Pain measure asked the patient to rate the worst level of pain within the past 24hrs (0=no pain; 10=worst possible pain). A mean score was derived for each 14-day period per patient, per visit, and these means used to derive a group mean. An increase CFB indicates more abdominal pain; a decrease CFB indicates less abdominal pain.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  12. Change From Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Questionnaire Scores

    The short version of the BPI (Short form) includes 9 items: Q1 - Q9, Question 9 includes 7 sub-items (Q9a - Q9g). It uses a 0 to 10 numeric rating scales for item rating. The pain severity score is calculated as the average of questions answered: Q3 (worst pain), Q4 (least pain), Q5 (average pain) and Q6 (current pain). The pain interference score is calculated as the average of the answered Q9 sub-items, which represents pain interference with general activity (Q9a), mood (Q9b), walking ability (Q9c), normal work (Q9d), relations with other people (Q9e), sleep (Q9f), and enjoyment of life (Q9g). A reduction in score from baseline indicates less pain.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 24 and Week 48 post gene therapy

  13. Change From Baseline in Physical and Mental Functioning as Assessed by the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) Scores

    The original version of the SF-36 was administered to the participants and consisted of eight subscales (Vitality, Physical Functioning, Bodily Pain, General Health Perceptions, Physical Role Functioning, Emotional Role Functioning, Social Role Functioning and Mental Health) each scored from 0 (worst health) to 100 (best heath). These scores were normalized (re-scaled) against mean scores obtained in the US general population (Mean=50, Standard deviation 10). The summary health components PCS and MCS are derived from the eight subscales mentioned above and summarize information from all eight subscales but with different weights. For PCS, highest weights are given to the physical subscales while some mental subscales are given negative weights. For MCS, highest weights are given to the mental subscales while some physical subscales are given negative weights. An increase in the normalized score from baseline indicates improvement in physical and mental functioning.

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 48 post gene therapy

  14. Average Vector Copy Number (VCN) in Bone Marrow / Progenitor Cells as Assessed by Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and/or Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (ddPCR)

    VCN is defined as the average number of copies of the therapeutic gene (transgene) in a sample of cells and is a measurement of the number of copies of the vector found in a sample, relative to copies of a reference gene in the human genome. This is an estimate of the number of integration sites per cell (on average). A VCN of 1 would signify that a sample of cells evaluated contains on average at least one \[working\] copy of the therapeutic transgene per cell. This measurement was for VCN in a sample of Bone marrow progenitor cells obtained from an aspirate.

    Time frame: At Week 48 post gene therapy

Results

Posted Jan 5, 2024
Limitations and caveats
SF-36 data at W24 was inadvertently not collected due to omission in the Protocol Schedule of Assessments. Invasive sampling, such as bone marrow aspirate, was only provided by one subject at Week 48. Central laboratory only reported albumin levels in urine and not urine total protein data.

Participant flow

Total number of subjects who signed the ICF was 16 (one subject who re-screened was not considered enrolled initially), as a result there were 15 distinct subjects who signed ICF. There were 4 participants who failed screening and were not rescreened. The Safety population consists of all 11 enrolled subjects who received any preparatory medication. The Infused population consists of all 9 enrolled subjects who received all preparatory medications and AVR-RD-01.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Abdominal Pain and Stool Consistency as Assessed by the Diary for Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms-Diarrhea (DIBSS-D)

DIBSS-D assesses bowel habits and abdominal symptoms over a period of time. It was administered daily for 14 days commencing at each study visit. Stool Consistency scale has been converted to a numeric rating scale for ease of analysis, where 1=Very hard; 2=Hard; 3=Neither too hard nor too soft; 4=Loose but not lumpy; 5=Very loose and watery. The median of each 14-day period was derived per patient, per visit before deriving the group median. Group median at Baseline (pre-treatment) was 3.540 (n=9). Change from baseline (CFB) is presented below. An increase CFB indicates softening of the stools, and a decrease CFB indicates hardening of the stools. Abdominal Pain measure asked the patient to rate the worst level of pain within the past 24hrs (0=no pain; 10=worst possible pain). A mean score was derived for each 14-day period per patient, per visit, and these means used to derive a group mean. An increase CFB indicates more abdominal pain; a decrease CFB indicates less abdominal pain.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Questionnaire Scores

The short version of the BPI (Short form) includes 9 items: Q1 - Q9, Question 9 includes 7 sub-items (Q9a - Q9g). It uses a 0 to 10 numeric rating scales for item rating. The pain severity score is calculated as the average of questions answered: Q3 (worst pain), Q4 (least pain), Q5 (average pain) and Q6 (current pain). The pain interference score is calculated as the average of the answered Q9 sub-items, which represents pain interference with general activity (Q9a), mood (Q9b), walking ability (Q9c), normal work (Q9d), relations with other people (Q9e), sleep (Q9f), and enjoyment of life (Q9g). A reduction in score from baseline indicates less pain.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Physical and Mental Functioning as Assessed by the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) Scores

The original version of the SF-36 was administered to the participants and consisted of eight subscales (Vitality, Physical Functioning, Bodily Pain, General Health Perceptions, Physical Role Functioning, Emotional Role Functioning, Social Role Functioning and Mental Health) each scored from 0 (worst health) to 100 (best heath). These scores were normalized (re-scaled) against mean scores obtained in the US general population (Mean=50, Standard deviation 10). The summary health components PCS and MCS are derived from the eight subscales mentioned above and summarize information from all eight subscales but with different weights. For PCS, highest weights are given to the physical subscales while some mental subscales are given negative weights. For MCS, highest weights are given to the mental subscales while some physical subscales are given negative weights. An increase in the normalized score from baseline indicates improvement in physical and mental functioning.

SecondaryAverage Vector Copy Number (VCN) in Bone Marrow / Progenitor Cells as Assessed by Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and/or Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (ddPCR)

VCN is defined as the average number of copies of the therapeutic gene (transgene) in a sample of cells and is a measurement of the number of copies of the vector found in a sample, relative to copies of a reference gene in the human genome. This is an estimate of the number of integration sites per cell (on average). A VCN of 1 would signify that a sample of cells evaluated contains on average at least one \[working\] copy of the therapeutic transgene per cell. This measurement was for VCN in a sample of Bone marrow progenitor cells obtained from an aspirate.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 5, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
