Recruiting PHASE1 Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)

Tests treatment safety and results for Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)

Official title A Phase 1 AAV Gene Therapy Trial Evaluating Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of RP-A701 in Subjects With BAG3 Dilated Cardiomyopathy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07137338

What this study is testing

What is RP-A701 is a recombinant viral vector composed of an AAV serotype rh.74 (AAVrh.74) capsid encapsulating the transgene, BCL2-associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3)?

RP-A701 is a recombinant viral vector composed of an AAV serotype rh.74 (AAVrh.74) capsid encapsulating the transgene, BCL2-associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3) is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for dilated cardiomyopathy (dcm).

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation trial to characterize the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of RP-A701 following a single IV administration in high-risk adult patients with BAG3-DCM.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study

Who can take part

Ages 18 to 65

You may be able to join if

  • people are eligible for inclusion into the study only if all the following criteria apply:
  • Male or female between 18 and 65 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
  • Capable of and willing to provide signed informed consent
  • Clinical diagnosis of DCM defined as and requiring each of the following:
  • Mild to moderate systolic dysfunction (LVEF ≥ 25% and ≤ 45%) by echocardiography or CMR performed within 3 months of enrollment.

You likely can't join if

  • CV disease that may be related to a genetic etiology other than a BAG3 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant.
  • Previous participation in a study of gene transfer or gene editing.
  • I.V. inotropic, vasodilator, or diuretic therapy ≤ 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • History of intracardiac thrombosis or arterial thromboembolic events
  • Severe RV dysfunction assessed by echocardiogram or CMR ≤ 12 months prior to screening
  • LVEF \< 25% by echocardiogram or CMR at ≤ 3 months prior to screening
