About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicentre, Long-Term Follow-Up Study to Investigate the Safety and Durability of Response Following Dosing of a Novel Adeno-Associated Viral Vector (FLT180a) in Patients With Haemophilia B

Severe haemophilia B (HB) is a bleeding disorder where a protein made by the body to help make blood clot is either partly or completely missing. This protein is called a clotting factor; with severe HB, levels of clotting Factor IX (nine; FIX) are very low and affected individuals can suffer life threatening bleeding episodes. HB mainly affects boys and men (approximately one in every 30,000 males). Current treatment for HB involves intravenous infusions of FIX as regular treatment (prophylaxis) or 'on demand' treatment. On demand treatment is highly effective at stopping bleeding but cannot fully reverse long-term damage that follows after a bleed. Regular treatment can prevent bleeding; however it is invasive for patients and also expensive.

This clinical study aims to investigate the long-term safety and durability of FIX activity in participants who have been dosed with a new gene therapy product (FLT180a) in earlier clinical studies. Following administration, FLT180a results in production of FIX in the participants' liver cells which is then released into the blood stream. The aim is to have the participants' own body produce levels of FIX that allow for clotting to occur as normal as would be seen in a non-HB individual. This would remove the need for prophylaxis or on demand treatment following just a single administration of FLT180a.

Up to 50 participants who have already been administered with FLT180a in the EU and US will take part in this study. Participants will be followed up in this trial until they have reached 15 years after being dosed. Participants will undergo procedures including physical examinations, join assessments, blood tests and liver ultrasounds. Participants will also need to complete a diary to document occurrence of bleeding episodes and record the amount of Factor IX concentrate they receive. Patient reports outcomes including measures of Quality of Life, disability and physical activity will also be collected.

    Consumption of exogenous clotting factors, related to an individual surgery, will be collected at the three time-points (time of surgery, time of drain removal (if applicable) and time of discharge or 6-days post surgery) for each surgery occurring from patient entry into trial until 5 years post-dosing.

    Measured: From entry to 5 years post dosing

  8. FLT180a effectiveness related to surgical/dental procedures by assessment of measurement of absolute blood loss at Time of surgery, Time of drain removal (if applicable)

    Measurement of absolute blood loss, related to an individual surgery, will be collected at the three time-points (Time of surgery, Time of drain removal (if applicable) and The earlier of discharge of 6-days post surgery) for each surgery occurring from patient entry into trial until 5 years post-dosing.

    Measured: From entry to 5 years post dosing

  9. FLT180a effectiveness related to surgical/dental procedures by assessment of blood transfusion requirement, volume and number of transfusions at Time of surgery, Time of drain removal (if applicable)

    Transfusion requirement (volume and number of transfusions), related to an individual surgery, will be collected at the three time-points (Time of surgery, Time of drain removal (if applicable) and The earlier of discharge of 6-days post surgery) for each surgery occurring from patient entry into trial until 5 years post-dosing.

    Measured: From entry to 5 years post dosing

  10. FLT180a effectiveness related to surgical/dental procedures by assessment of efficacy of haemostasis as judged by surgeon on a 4-point scale at Time of surgery, Time of drain removal (if applicable)

    Assessment of efficacy of haemostasis as judged by surgeon, related to an individual surgery, will be collected at the three time-points (Time of surgery, Time of drain removal (if applicable) and The earlier of discharge of 6-days post surgery) for each surgery occurring from patient entry into trial until 5 years post-dosing.

    Measured: From entry to 5 years post dosing

  11. Immune response to the hFIX transgene product (i.e., development of inhibitors) will be assessed by measurement of the level of inhibitors.

    Samples will be taken to capture development of inhibitors overtime.

    Measured: From entry to 5 years post dosing

  12. Clearance of vector genomes (vgs) in plasma, urine, saliva, stool and semen.

    Samples from each pool will be taken at each visit until there have been 3 consecutive samples that are negative for vgs.

    Measured: From entry to complete clearance of vgs in all sample pools.

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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 (reason given: Freeline has decided to pause development of FLT180a for business priorities). 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Safety Measurement (time frame: From entry to 5 years post dosing). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03641703, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Jul 2023.
