• Moderately severe FIX deficiency with plasma FIX activity level ≥ 1% and ≤ 2% 
• > 150 previous EDs of treatment with FIX protein

• NAbs against AAV5 at Visit 1
• A sample is considered positive at 29% inhibition of transduction (sample vs negative control) 
• Previous arterial or venous thrombotic event
• Previous gene therapy treatment

AAV5/ Insect cells, baculovirus expression system

Codon-optimized FIX-WT²

The FIX expression is driven by the liver-specific enhancer/promoter construct referred to as LP1 that is based on^2-3:

• The APOE gene hepatic-control region (APOE-HCR) and
• The human α1 -antitrypsin (hAAT) promoter                              

Systemic⁴

Data regarding the dose-cohorts were reported by these publications^{2, 5, 6, 7}  as follows:

• Co. 1: 5e12 (5)
• Co. 2: 2e13 (5)

3 - 5 years^{2, 5, 6, 7}

OS

• According  to Table 3², the mean steady-state FIX activity across all 10 pts. in both cohorts  was in the range from 1.3 to 12.7 IU/dl  

​​
​    ​^a P3 continued with prophylaxis after AMT-060 treatment so that only limited samples uncontaminated by exogenous FIX were available ²

Stable activity with no peak²

Data regarding the annualized bleeding rate were extracted from Figure 3B² and are summarized as follows:

•  At year 3 the mean ABR was 1.7 for Co. 1 and 0.7 for Co. 2⁵
• At year 4 the mean ABR was 3.3 for Co. 1 and 0.0 for Co. 2 corresponding to 77% and 100% reduction of mean ABR to the year prior to treatment⁶
• At year 5 the mean ABR was 6.5 for Co. 1 and 0.0 for Co. 2 corresponding to 55% and 100% reduction of mean ABR to the year prior to treatment⁷

Data regarding the annualized FIX usage were extracted from Figure 3A² and are summarized as follows:

• The total annualized reduction of exogenous FIX use after AMT-060 treatment was 79% overall (81% in Co. 1 and 73% in Co. 2)²
• FIX replacement therapy consumption declined 84% (Co. 1) and 99% (Co. 2) during year 5 post AMT-60 infusion⁷
• All participants who discontinued prophylaxis remain prophylaxis-free through 5 years⁷

• Gene transfer was well tolerated with no severe TRAEs²
• No infusion related reactions were reported

    ^a    Because this was an early trial of gene therapy, lack of efficacy was included as an adverse event of special notification and therefore was automatically reported 
    ^b    P6 in Co. 2 (2e13 gc/kg) experienced 7 TRAEs (2 instances of increases in liver enzymes, pyrexia, anxiety, palpitations,  headache, and rash)
No participants developed FIX inhibitors or signs of sustained AAV5 capsid-specific T-cell activation⁷
