About this study

Official title: Clinical and Laboratory Assessment Study of Patients With a Clinical Presentation Consistent With Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH)

This study is designed to help identify patients with HoFH due to mutations in the LDLR as confirmed by genotyping.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-interventional study; no investigational product is administered in this study. Information collected in this study may be used to identify potential participants for clinical gene therapy trials in HoFH.

The investigator will discuss the study with participants who have a clinical presentation consistent with HoFH and where possible, the treating physician, in order to assess their interest to participate. After informed consent has been obtained, participants will be asked to provide a blood sample (up to 40 mL) for genotyping to confirm genetic diagnosis of HoFH due to mutations in LDLR, a lipid panel and anti-AAV8 NAb titer. Participants and, whenever possible, their treating physician will complete a medical history questionnaire and provide supporting documentation. The informed consent form (ICF) and data collection methods may vary depending whether the informed consent is obtained remotely or at a participating study site.

Information collected will include the following:

  • patient demographics (age, sex, weight)
  • medical history
  • previous genotype results (if available)
  • results of most recent lipid panel(s)
  • use of lipid lowering therapies, including failure to respond
  • assessment of presence of liver disease, including history of hepatitis B and C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), cirrhosis, and alcohol use

Once this information is received by the investigator and Sponsor, a preliminary assessment of confirmation of a diagnosis of HoFH will be performed. Participants and/or their treating physician will be informed of the results of the genetic testing. All participants will be provided an opportunity to speak with a genetic counselor upon receiving the results of the genetic testing.

Data collected in this study may be used to identify potential candidates for separate clinical trial(s) using gene therapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The number of participants who have HoFH due to mutations in the LDLR gene measured by genetic testing

    The number of participants who have HoFH due to mutations in the LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor) gene as confirmed by genetic testing.

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The measurement of AAV8 NAb titers

    The measurement of anti-AAV8 (adeno-associated virus serotype 8) neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers

    Measured: baseline

  2. The measurement of LDL-C, total cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and lipoprotein a (Lp[a])

    The measurement of LDL-C, total cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and lipoprotein a (Lp[a]).

    Measured: baseline

  3. The number and types of the participant's current and historical lipid lowering therapies

    The number and types of lipid lowering therapies, including LDL-C apheresis, the participant has been on or is currently on

    Measured: baseline

  4. The participant's completion of the medical history questionnaire to determine relevant medical history

    Collection of the participant's relevant medical history

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), run by REGENXBIO Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The number of participants who have HoFH due to mutations in the LDLR gene measured by genetic testing (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 2 Feb 2021.
