safety and efficacy study of nggt003 in hemophilia a patients

Conditions: Hemophilia A

Summary: this is an early phase 1, open-label, single-center, dose-escalation pilot trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravenous infusion of nggt003 in hemophilia a patients. nggt003 uses adeno-associated virus (aav) as a vector, carrying a liver specific promoter and codon optimized human fviii gene b domain deletion mutant (hfviii bdd), and expresses human fviii protein in the liver through intravenous injection.

hemophilia a (ha) is an x-linked recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the fviii gene on the x chromosome, leading to abnormal coagulation function. in the male population, the incidence rate of hemophilia a was about 1/5000, and female patients with hemophilia a were extremely rare. type a hemophilia patients mainly exhibit a tendency for bleeding, with a wide range of bleeding sites and frequent recurrence, which can form hematoma and joint deformation. this is an early phase 1, open-label, single-center, dose-escalation pilot trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single intravenous infusion of nggt003 in hemophilia a patients. 4-6 subjects will be enrolled and divided into 3 groups according to the principle of dose escalation, respectively administered intravenous infusion of nggt003 at low dose (4e11vg/kg), medium dose (1e12vg/kg) and high dose (2.5e12vg/kg). all subjects will undergo 52 weeks of treatment observation and further 260 weeks of long-term follow-up.
