Description

Summary

An open-label, multi-center, phase I/II study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of DFT383 in pediatric participants with nephropathic cystinosis.

The purpose of this clinical study is to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of DFT383 in participants aged 2 to ≤ 5 years with nephropathic cystinosis. DFT383 is a cellular gene therapy.

This study includes an active arm (Cohort 1) of participants treated with study treatment DFT383 and a concurrent reference arm (Cohort 0) treated with Standard of care (SoC). The study is not randomized and Cohort 0 aims to collect prospective and concurrent data in this rare disease.

Official Title

An Open-label, Multi-center, Phase I/II Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of DFT383 in Pediatric Participants With Nephropathic Cystinosis

Details

This study is an open-label, multi-center, phase I/II study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of DFT383 in participants aged 2 to 5 years with nephropathic cystinosis. The study consists of participants receiving DFT383 in Cohort 1 and Standard of Care (SoC) in Cohort 0. The two cohorts will be run in parallel. Investigational sites may participate in one or both cohorts.

Cohort 1 Approximately 15 participants will receive treatment with DFT383 in 3 cohorts (1A, 1B and 1C) dosed in a staggered approach. The total study duration for a participant in Cohort 1 will be up to 32 months.

Cohort 0 Approximately 15 participants meeting similar inclusion/exclusion criteria and receiving SoC will be enrolled. The Schedule of Activities will be reduced for this Cohort. This cohort 0 is not a direct control but will provide essential context for interpreting the results observed in the participants receiving DFT383. The total study duration for a participant in Cohort 0 will be up to 24 months.

for Cohort 1 and 0

  1. A history of kidney transplantation
  2. A prior or planned bone marrow or stem cell transplantation or prior treatment with gene therapy
  3. History of malignancy
  4. A severe or uncontrolled medical disorder
  5. Major surgery within 90 days

Additional Key exclusion criteria for Cohort 1 - The following exclusion criteria only apply to Cohort 1 only as they are important for procedures related to DFT383 treatment:

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
