Key Data Points

Image

The HOPE-B phase 3 clinical trial for AMT-061 (etranacogene dezaparvovec) was designed as an open-label, single arm study. A single dose of AAV5-Padua hFIX was infused in 54 participants at a dose of 2x1013 gc/kg. The primary endpoints were FIX activity at 26 and 52 weeks post-infusion, and ABR at 52 weeks compared to lead-in. Duration of follow up is scheduled for 5 years. Pre-existing neutralizing antibodies to AAV5 was not an exclusion criterion.

Image

This figure shows mean and median FIX activity of all the participants up to 26 weeks post-dosing (N = 54), and for participants with follow up beyond 26 weeks (up to 72 weeks). Expression was robust by 3 weeks post-dosing and measured a mean of 37.2% at week 26. A number of participants have observations well beyond the 6-month co-primary endpoint with no evidence of decline of FIX activity in the follow-up period.

Image

This table compares bleeds for all participants during the first 6 months post-infusion to the 6 month lead-in period. Total bleeds decreased by 83% and treated bleeds decreased by 91%. Patients with 0 bleeds increased from 30% in the lead-in period to 72% in the 6 month post-dosing period.
