A study to learn if combination pyrimidine nucleosides is safe, how well it works and how it moves through the bloodstream in participants with thymidine kinase 2 (TK2) deficiency
EU CTIS ID: 2023-510427-29-00
What this study is testing
To characterize the safety and tolerability of continuing treatment with dC/dT (combination pyrimidine nucleosides, administered as doxecitine and doxribtimine) in patients with thymidine kinase 2 (TK2) deficiency previously treated with dC/dT, dCMP/dTMP or doxecitine and doxribtimine
- Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Signed informed consent by the parent(s) or legally authorized representative (LAR) and/or assent by the study participant (when applicable).
- Confirmed genetic mutation(s) in the TK2 gene.
- Absence of other genetic disease or polygenic disease.
- Current treatment with nucleos(t)ides for TK2 deficiency. Study participants who were not previously enrolled in MT-1621-101 will require Sponsor approval to ensure that collection of clinical and functional measurements prior to treatment are sufficient for evaluating safety and efficacy.
- Female study participants must not be breastfeeding, must have a negative pregnancy test at screening (females ≥10 years old), and have no intention to become pregnant during the course of the study. Female study participants who are of childbearing potential (ie, following menarche until ≥1 year postmenopausal if not anatomically and physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant) must agree and commit to the use of highly effective methods of birth control for the duration of the study and for 30 days after the end of the study. Acceptable methods are defined as those that result, alone or in combination, in a low failure rate (ie, <1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as surgical sterilization, an intrauterine device, or hormonal contraception in combination with a barrier method. In certain countries (if permitted by law), women of childbearing potential may instead agree to abide by heterosexual sexual abstinence during the study and for 30 days after the end of the study.
- Male study participants with sexual partners should use condoms for the duration of the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug to prevent passing study drug to the partner in the ejaculate. Male participants should be advised not to donate sperm for 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
You likely can't join if
- History of liver disease, or liver function test results (ALT, AST, or total bilirubin) ≥2× upper limit of normal without prior Sponsor approval.
- Other significant medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Study Sponsor, may confound interpretation of the clinical course of TK2 deficiency.
