A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Male or female aged 16 years and older at the time of screening.
  • Participant with severe Crigler-Najjar syndrome requiring ≥ 6 hours/ day of phototherapy.
  • Participant with molecular confirmation of mutation in the UGT1A1 gene by DNA sequencing.
  • Participant with detectable serum neutralizing antibodies against AAV8.
  • Participant with laboratory parameters value not clinically significant, as assessed by the investigator, and meeting the following criteria, a. Hematology, clinical chemistry and coagulation ≤ grade 1 (as per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] criteria) (including but not limited to: activated partial thromboplastin time ≤1.5 x ULN, creatinine increased ≤1.5 x ULN, Platelet count decreased ≥75,000/mm3, lymphocyte count increased ≤20 000/mm3). b. Alanine amino-transferase (ALT), aspartate amino-transferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) ≤ grade 3 (as per CTCAE criteria: GGT, ALT and/or AST ≤20.0 x ULN if baseline was normal; ≤20.0 x baseline if baseline was abnormal).
  • Participants must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from screening visit (V1) to at least 48 weeks after start of IMP administration.

You likely can't join if

  • Participation in another interventional trial during this clinical trial, including investigational trial involving gene or cell therapeutics within 6 months prior to start of IMP administration and during the whole clinical trial; participation in non-interventional registries or epidemiological studies is allowed.
  • Participant presents or has a history of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) or known familial history of TTP
  • Fibrosis score ≥ 3 (METAVIR) or 10 kPa based on: a)Fibrotest: performed within 12 months prior to screening visit 1* Or b)FibroScan®: performed within 12 months prior to screening visit 1* Or c)Liver biopsy taken within 24 months prior to screening visit 1*
  • Participant with significant underlying liver disease.
  • Presence of any other clinically significant illness.
  • Participant with a history of major thrombotic events, active peripheral vascular disease, or proven hypercoagulable conditions.
