Brief Summary

This is a prospective, non-randomized, open-label, dose escalation study of a single administration of gene therapy in children who are 3 to 9 years old with Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (Batten) Su...

Detailed Description

The study is a first in human (FIH) open-label, dose escalation study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of administration of an adeno-associated viral vector serotype 9 (AAV9) carrying the ge...

  • Molecular genetic diagnosis of the CLN5 gene
  • Confirmed clinical diagnosis of CLN5 disease
  • Impaired motor and/or language function and/or impaired visual acuity
  • Written informed consent from parent or legal guardian and assent from study participant, if appropriate
  • Able to comply with protocol required assessments (laboratory sample collection, lumbar puncture (LP), nerve conduction studies (NCS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), etc.), which may require sedation or general anesthesia
  • Able to walk with or without assistance (assistance may include a walker, braces, or with one hand held)
  • Agree to reside within a 1-hour drive of the study site for at least 6 months following treatment (or a safely drivable distance for the study participant and caregivers according to investigator's discretion)
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • Has another neurologic disease or illness that may have caused cognitive decline before study entry
  • Known pathogenic or clinically suspected variant in a seizure associated genetic mutation besides CLN5
  • Any active infections or severe infections within the 30 days prior to study treatment administration
  • Presence of a concomitant medical condition that precludes intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection, lumbar puncture (LP), or use of anesthetics needed for study-related procedures
  • Presence of any concomitant medical conditions that preclude intravitreal (IVT) administration
  • Has status epilepticus that lasts longer than 5 minutes or having more than 1 seizure within a 5-minute period, without returning to a normal level of consciousness between episodes within 12 weeks before study treatment
  • Total anti-AAV9 antibody titer greater than 1:400
  • Any anticipated need for major surgery in the next 24 months
  • Participation in an Investigational New Drug, Investigational Device Exemption, or equivalent clinical study in the past 6 months
  • Any prior participation in a study in which a gene therapy vector or stem cell transplantation was administered
  • Participation in other investigational studies and non-interventional studies that have similar study assessments as this protocol while the study participant is enrolled in this study with the exception of sister studies sponsored by Neurogene
  • History of or current chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or other immunosuppressive therapy within the past 3 months
  • Use of prohibited medications
  • Immunizations of any kind in the 45 days prior to study treatment
  • Requiring daytime or nighttime ventilatory support at the time of Screening
  • Any item which would exclude the study participant from being able to undergo brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) according to local institutional policy
  • Known allergies or hypersensitivities to the required immunosuppression regime
