Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, ascending single-dose Phase 1 study. Subjects will receive a single dose of CTX320 via intravenous (IV) infusion. The duration of the infusion is expected to take 1 hour. Planned ascending doses levels will range from 0.1 mg/kg - 0.8 mg/kg. Participants will receive only one dose.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 335937 0
Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). DLTs will be monitored with blood and urine tests, physical exam, vital sign assessments and 12 lead ECG. DLTs will be graded using CTCAE version 5.0.
Timepoint [1] 335937 0
DLTs will be closely monitored post-infusion during the 30-day acute safety evaluation period and for up to 12 months post-intervention dose.
Secondary outcome [1] 426194 0
Percentage change in apo B concentrations over time compared to baseline. Blood tests will be used to assess percent change.
Timepoint [1] 426194 0
Screening, Days 14 and 30, Months 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 post-intervention dose.
Secondary outcome [2] 426195 0
Frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) including, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and adverse event of special interests (AESIs), clinically significant laboratory abnormalities, and clinically significant abnormal vital signs. This is a first in human study and there is limited data about possible AEs. Based on non-clinical assessments and clinical experience with similar products, potential AEs include infusion related reactions (IRR) and transient elevations in liver transaminases. IRR will be evaluated with vital signs and nurse assessments (Heart rate and oxygen saturation monitored with finger pulse oximeter, blood pressure assessed with blood pressure cuff. Respiratory rate and monitoring for signs of infusion reaction (e.g. coughing, rash) will be evaluated with clinical observation. Liver function will be monitored with blood tests (ALP, ALT, AST, bilirubin, PT, PTT). Monitoring for other unanticipated adverse events will be performed with 12 lead ECG, blood and urine tests and physical examination.
Timepoint [2] 426195 0
AEs, TEAEs, and AESIs will be monitored for up to 12 months post-intervention dose. Clinical observations and vital signs will be monitored at Screening, daily for the first 4 days following infusion, Weeks 1, 2, and 3, and Months 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 post-intervention dose. Laboratory assessments will be monitored at Screening, daily for the first 4 days following infusion, Weeks 1, 2, and 3, and Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 post-intervention dose.
Secondary outcome [3] 426196 0
Pharmacokinetics of CTX320 over time. Plasma samples will be collected at Screening, D1 (prior to infusion, within 5 minutes post-CTX320 infusion, and at 1, 2, and 7 hours after completion of CTX320 infusion), D2, D3, D4, D7, D14, D30, M3, M6, M12 to assess the levels of LNP lipids and Cas9 protein via LC-MS/MS and ELISA, respectively.
Timepoint [3] 426196 0
Screening, Day 1 (prior to infusion, within 5 minutes post-CTX320 infusion, and at 1, 2, and 7 hours after completion of CTX320 infusion), Days 2, 3, and 4, Weeks 1 and 2, and Months 1, 3, 6, and 12 post-intervention dose.
Secondary outcome [4] 426256 0
Percentage change in Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] concentrations over time compared to baseline. Blood tests will be used to assess percent change.
Timepoint [4] 426256 0
Screening, Days 14 and 30, Months 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12 post-intervention dose.
