Study summary

It is a single-center, open, single-arm, non-randomized investigator-initiated trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of recombinant adeno-associated virus administration for patients with Menkes syndrome.

Read the detailed description

Who can participate? Patients with Menkes syndrome were diagnosed by combining clinical and genetic diagnoses.

How to conduct this study? In this study, the constructed recombinant adeno-associated virus preparation will be delivered to patients with Menkes syndrome. After administration, close follow-up will be conducted for at least three months, followed by regular follow-up until at least the 12th month. The efficacy and safety of treatment will be observed and evaluated. After the completion of the study, participants will decide whether to participate in the long-term follow-up program for five years.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Benefits: This study may prolong the life span and improve the prognosis of Menkes syndrome subjects. The information obtained from this study will help determine what treatment may be safe and effective for other subjects with similar conditions.

Risks: Subjects may have adverse reactions to the treatment. These adverse reactions may include abnormal liver injury, fever, thrombocytopenia, thrombotic microangiopathy, and possibly others.

Where is the study run? Kunming Hope of Health Hospital.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Monitoring the disease course or vital signs to assess the efficacy of the investigational medical product

    Based on studies of the natural history of Menkes syndrome, which shows that patients have a life span of fewer than three years, this study will evaluate the endpoint of life of patients with the investigational medical product infusion. The endpoint of life is defined as death or the need for ventilatory support (device dependence of at least 16 hours per day for more than 14 days).

    Time frame: Up to the end of life after infusion or 12 months after the age of 3 years

  2. Incidence of adverse events(AE) after the investigational medical product infusion

    The frequency, severity, and laboratory findings of all adverse events/serious adverse events are included. Description, time, classification, and outcome of AE events resulted from the investigational medical product, delivery method, or emergency measures will be recorded in the case report form.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months after the investigational medical product infusion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Developmental behavior assessment

    CHOP INTEND was developed to be used on children from 3 months to over four years, although it is not limited to this age range. It was developed by looking at babies with SMA Type 1 and infants with other similar conditions, such as Menkes syndrome. There are 16 parts, and the scale scores infants on how well they can perform certain movements or what the physiotherapist sees while watching the child. Each one is scored from 0 to 4, with 0 being no response/ability to perform the movement and 4 being 'complete response' (being able to perform the task). The total possible score is 64. The Developmental Behavior Scale for Children aged 0-6 years (WS/T 580-2017) released by the Ministry of Health of China is used to monitor and evaluate the development improvement of patients in gross motor, fine motor, language, adaptive ability, and social behavior. The scale applies to children aged 0-6 years, with 8-10 test items in each group, totaling 261.

    Time frame: At baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after infusion

  2. Weight

    Record weight of patients in kilograms

    Time frame: At baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after infusion

  3. Height

    Record height of patients in meters

    Time frame: At baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after infusion

  4. Head circumference

    Record head circumference of patients in centimeters

    Time frame: At baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after infusion
