According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled nine participants in total, split across three groups: Cohort 1 (3 people), Cohort 2 (3 people), and a Cohort 2 Expansion group (3 people). Eight of the nine participants completed the study — one person in the Cohort 2 Expansion group did not finish. The trial was measuring how the investigational product (a gene therapy delivered via a viral vector) behaved in the body, including tracking unwanted events (called adverse events) linked to the treatment, changes in blood fat levels such as LDL cholesterol, and how much of the viral carrier could be detected in participants' urine and blood. The reported data shows that, for the primary outcome — the number of participants who experienced an adverse event linked to the investigational product — 1 out of 3 participants in Cohort 1, all 3 out of 3 in Cohort 2, and 2 out of 3 in the Cohort 2 Expansion group had such an event recorded. For the secondary outcomes related to blood fat levels, the reported data shows percentage changes from each participant's starting (baseline) levels: LDL cholesterol (a type of fat in the blood often called "bad cholesterol") changed by approximately +7.2% in Cohort 1, +27.4% in Cohort 2, and +9.0% in the Cohort 2 Expansion group. Changes in other blood fat measurements (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and others) were also reported across the three groups, with figures varying considerably between cohorts; for example, one measure showed changes ranging from +32.6% in Cohort 1 to +54.2% in Cohort 2 and −5.5% in the Expansion group. The reported data also shows that detectable amounts of the viral carrier (the vehicle used to deliver the gene therapy) were found in both urine and blood samples for participants in Cohort 1 and Cohort 2, while the reported figure for the Cohort 2 Expansion group was zero for both. Because this was a very small, early-phase trial with only three people per group, the numbers reflect a preliminary exploration rather than a broad population study, and not all detail for every sub-measure was fully reported in the submitted data.

Who may be able to join

Who might be able to join this trial:

  • You are a man or woman aged 18 or older.
  • Your LDL cholesterol levels (the "bad" cholesterol) and medical history match the diagnosis of a severe inherited cholesterol condition called homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), whether or not you have already received treatment for it.
  • Genetic testing has confirmed that you have specific gene mutations affecting both copies of the LDL receptor gene (the gene that helps your body process cholesterol).
  • A blood test shows that your immune system has a very low level of antibodies against a particular virus used in gene therapy (called AAV8), meaning your body is unlikely to fight off the treatment before it works (confirm with trial site).

Who may not be able to join:

  • You are unwilling to stop taking certain cholesterol-lowering medicines before the study starts — specifically: niacin (high-dose) at least 6 weeks before, fibrates at least 4 weeks before, lomitapide at least 8 weeks before, or mipomersen at least 24 weeks before.
  • You have a history of severe liver scarring (cirrhosis) or long-term liver disease, confirmed by a biopsy, scan, or other tests.
  • Your liver function blood tests at your screening appointment show abnormal results, suggesting your liver may not be working properly (confirm with trial site).
