About this study

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the safety, feasibility, and potential efficacy of intravascular adenoviral vector mediated gene transfer in the liver in adults with partial ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.
Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. Patients undergo a femoral arterial placement of a hepatic intraarterial catheter. Patients then receive adenoviral vector mediated gene transfer intravascularly over 30 minutes.

Cohorts of 3 patients each receive escalating doses of adenoviral vector until the maximum tolerated dose is determined.

Patients are followed at 3, 5, 7, 8, 15, and 29 days, at 2 months, and then every 3 months thereafter.

Completion date provided represents the completion date of the grant per OOPD records

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Adenoviral Vector-Mediated Gene Transfer in people with Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency Disease, run by University of Pennsylvania.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Mar 2015.
