Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effect on FIX antigen and activity levels of ascending doses of SB-FIX. SB-FIX is an intravenously delivered Zinc Finger Nuclease (ZFN) Therapeutic for genome editing. It inserts a correct copy of the Factor 9 gene into the albumin locus in hepatocytes with the goal of lifelong therapeutic production of the Factor IX clotting factor.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: SB-FIX
Phase 1

Detailed Description

The objective of the study is to provide long term expression of Factor IX in subjects with severe hemophilia B. SB-FIX is a therapeutic for ZFN-mediated genome editing which will be delivered by adeno-associated virus (AAV)-derived vectors. SB-FIX is intended to function by placement of a corrective copy of the Factor IX transgene into the genome of the subject's own hepatocytes, under the control of the highly expressed endogenous albumin locus, and is expected to provide permanent, liver-specific expression of Factor IX for the lifetime of a hemophilia B subject.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Treatment related Adverse Events in subjects who received SB-FIX as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) [Up to 36 months after the SB-FIX infusion]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change from baseline in FIX antigen and activity levels [up to 36 months after the SB-FIX infusion]

  2. Change from baseline in use of Factor IX replacement therapy [Baseline and up to 36 months after the SB-FIX infusion]

    • Change from baseline in the number of FIX units infused per week

  3. Change from baseline in frequency and severity of bleeding episodes [Up to 36 months after the SB-FIX infusion]

  4. Immune response to FIX [Up to 36 months after the SB-FIX infusion]

    • Change in neutralizing antibodies to FIX from baseline over time

  5. Presence and shedding of AAV2/6 vector DNA by PCR in plasma, saliva, urine, stool and semen [Follow up until 2 consecutive measurements are negative of AAV]
