Study summary

This is a Phase 1/2, multinational, open-label, study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravenous infusion of GNT0003 in patients with Crigler-Najjar aged ≥10 years and requiring phototherapy. Patients will received a single administration of GNT0003 and will be followed for safety and efficacy of approximately 60 months (5 years):

  • a follow-up of approximately 12 months (48 weeks)
  • a long term follow-up of approximately 48 months (4 years), in order to be in line with the latest EMEA Guideline on follow-up of patients administered with gene therapy medicinal products, released on 22 Oct.2009 by the Committee for medicinal products for human use.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with severe Crigler-Najjar syndrome resulting from a molecular confirmation of mutations in the UGT1A1 gene and requiring phototherapy
  • Male or female at least 9 years at the date of signature of
  • Patient able to give informed assent and/or consent in writing

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who underwent liver transplantation
  • Patients with chronic or C
  • Patients infected with (HIV)
  • Patients with significant underlying liver disease
  • Patients with significant encephalopathy
  • Participation in any other trial during this trial
  • Patients unable or unwilling to comply with the protocol requirements
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients having received the selected dose of GNT0003 with serum bilirubin ≤ 300µmol/L within 48 meeks after GNT0003 administration and without phototherapy from week 16

    Decrease of total Serum bilirubin level after interruption of daily phototherapy (Efficacy); change in serum total biliirubin from baseline to week 48

    Time frame: 48 weeks

  2. Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events or Treatement Serious Adverse Events

    Incidence of AE/SAE evaluated by changes in laboratory parameters, vital signs, physical examination, reported from baseline to each visit study. Clinically relevant abnormal findings on Laboratory values, Vital Signs, Physical findings will be reported as Adverse Events. Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events for each body system will be presented for each dose level and summarized overall.

    Time frame: 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Health-related quality of Life for Adults from Baseline to Week 48 after GNT0003 administration

    Quality of Life outcome measure: change of quality of life from Baseline to Week 48 after GNT0003 administration. Scale 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36 Health Survey) for adults: from 0 (negative to health) to 100 (positive to health)

    Time frame: 48 weeks

  2. Change in Health-related quality of Life for Children from Baseline to Week 48 after GNT0003 administration

    Quality of Life outcome measure: change of quality of life from Baseline to Week 48 after GNT0003 administration. PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scale for pediatrics: 0-100 scale where higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life

    Time frame: 48 weeks

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 Mar 28, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
