AAV2, FIX-WT, AAV-hF.IX, NCT00076557
Haemophilia B
Avigen¹/CHOP ²
General Study Information
  • ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:   NCT000765571
  • Phase I/II, open-label, phase 1/2 open-label study

Terminated, Last Update Posted: April 4, 20071 ,closed2

  • 18 years or older Males with severe FIX deficiency
  • > 20 EDs of treatment with FIX protein

Presence of inflammatory muscle disease (e.g., myositis)3

AAV2, HEK293 cells3

FIX is assembled by exon 1, a portion of the human FIX intron I and exons 2-8 of the human F9 gene3

Data regarding the included expression cassette components were taken from here3 and summarized as follows:

  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) enhancer/promoter fragment
  • Exon 1 and 1.4-kb portion of intron 1 of the human F9 gene
  • Exons 2-8 of the human FIX cDNA (FIX cDNA)
  • SV40 late polyadenylation sequence

Intramuscular injections3

As reported here3, the trial included three dose cohorts as follows: 

  • Co. 1: 2e11 (3) 
  • Co. 2: 6e11 (3)
  • Co. 3: 1.8e12 (2)

2 - 10 months

OS3

Efficacy details

Detectable FIX levels higher than the baseline in the range of 0.3%-1.4% (8 - 52 weeks) were observed in 4/8 subjects, as reported in reference3 and summarized as follows: 

  • Subject A was first noted to have a F.IX level higher than baseline at 8 weeks after injection and was again noted to have a level higher than baseline (1.4%) at 12 weeks
  • Subject A had a 1% level measured 52 weeks after vector injection
  • Subject B also showed measurable increases in FIX levels, from a baseline of less than 0.3%, up to 0.8%
  • Subject D had a level of 0.7% at 8 weeks, with a baseline of 0.2%
  • Subject G had a level of 0.8% at 4 weeks after treatment
  • All other FIX levels, measured at least 14 days after factor concentrate infusion, were less than 1% in the remaining subjects

Not reported

Circulating levels of FIX were too low for a therapeutic effect3

Not reported

Safety Details
  • IM injection was well-tolerated in all subjects, with n osystemic symptoms
  • In one subject a 5-fold elevation in the creatine phosphokinase (CPK) returned to baseline 1 week after injection3

Adverse events were reported here3 and are summarized as follows:

  • 1 subject had a mild inflammatory reaction to the tattoo dye that was injected at a few sites, that resolved without treatment  
  • 5/8 pts. developed small hematomas or pain at one or more vector injection sites, which resolved uneventfully 
  • 4/8 pts. developed transient minor abnormalities (hematoma, induration, transient numbness) at the site of muscle biopsy

Not reported

No abnormalities in serum chemistries3
