Abstract
Etranacogene dezaparvovec (AMT-061) is a recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 5 (AAV5) vector containing a codon-optimized Padua variant human factor IX (FIX) transgene with a liver-specific promoter. Here, we report 3-year outcomes from a phase 2b, open-label, single-dose, single-arm, multicenter trial conducted among adults with severe or moderately severe hemophilia B (FIX ≤2%). All participants (n = 3) received a single intravenous dose (2 × 1013 gene copies per kg) and will be followed up for 5 years. The primary end point of FIX activity ≥5% at 6 weeks was met. Secondary end points included bleed frequency, FIX concentrate use, joint health, and adverse events (AEs). All participants required routine FIX prophylaxis and had neutralizing antibodies to AAV5 before etranacogene dezaparvovec treatment. After administration, FIX activity rose to a mean of 40.8% in year 1 and was sustained in year 3 at 36.9%. All participants discontinued FIX prophylaxis. Bleeding was completely eliminated in 2 out of 3 participants. One participant required on-demand FIX replacement therapy per protocol because of elective surgical procedures, for 2 reported bleeding episodes, and twice for a single self-administered infusion because of an unreported reason. One participant experienced 2 mild, self-limiting AEs shortly after dosing. During the 3-year study period, there were no clinically significant elevations in liver enzymes, no requirement for steroids, no FIX inhibitor development, and no late-emergent safety events in any participant. Etranacogene dezaparvovec was safe and effective in adults with hemophilia B over 3 years after administration. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03489291.
