Safety and Efficacy of GS-100 Gene Therapy in Patients With NGLY1 Deficiency

Exclusion Criteria

• •Patients at Level 5 of both the Gross Motor Function Classification System Expanded and Revised (GMFCS E\&R) and the Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) scales as assessed by the investigator
• •Contraindication to use of corticosteroids or history of a condition that could worsen with corticosteroid therapy, as assessed, and determined by the investigator
• •Signs / symptoms of increased intracranial pressure (ICP), history of space occupying lesion, or ventricular shunt that would preclude ICV procedures or safety assessments
• •a. If clinical signs or symptoms of increased ICP are present (such as headache, vomiting, altered mental status), an ophthalmology examination will be performed to assess for papilledema and/or venous pulsations
• •Any comorbid medical or behavioral condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may adversely affect the safety and well-being of the participant during the study, interfere with completion of the study procedures or follow-up, or compound interpretation of the study results
• •Vital signs outside age-based normative values:
• •1. Blood pressure: values \> 99th percentile as cited in the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) guidelines for blood pressure levels based on subject's age, height and sex (nhlbi.nih.gov/files/docs/guidelines/child\_tbl.pdf)
• •2. Temperature: evidence of fever such as body temperature (e.g., orally measured) of 38.0°C (100.3°F)
• •3. Respiratory rate in breaths per minute: toddler (1-3 years old): 24-40; preschooler (4-5 years old): 22-34 breaths per minute; school-aged child (6-12 years old): 18-30 breaths per minute; adolescence (13-18 years old): 12-16.
• •4. Oxygen saturation on room air \< 92%
• •Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator or the study medical monitor would prevent the patient from fully complying with the requirements of the study (including the corticosteroid treatment outline in the protocol) and/or would impact or interfere with the evaluation and interpretation of patient safety or efficacy results
• •Known allergy or hypersensitivity to the GS-100 investigational product formulation
• •Prior treatment with gene therapy
• •Treatment with any investigational product (IP) within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the IP, whichever is longer, prior to screening period. For patients who have received a prior investigational product, all ongoing AEs experienced while receiving the investigational product must have been resolved prior to screening for this study
• •Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study that does not interfere with the requirements of the current protocol and does not have the potential to impact the evaluation of safety and efficacy of GS-100
• •Coagulation dysfunction at screening as defined by the following:
• •a. INR: ≥1.4 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)
• •Any current infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) as evidenced by as evidenced by positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), and/or HBV core antibody (HBcAb) at screening. Isolated HBsAb positivity for HBV vaccination in conjunction with negative confirmatory HBV DNA testing at screening is not exclusionary
• •Any prior or current infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) as evidenced by positive HCV antibody testing and confirmed by positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) RNA testing at screening
• •Any of the following abnormal laboratory values:
• •1. Hemoglobin level: \< 9 g/dL
• •2. Absolute neutrophil count: \< 1000 cells/microliter
• •3. Platelet count: \< 100,000/mm3
• •4. Creatinine: \> 1.25 x ULN
• •Have a major surgery planned during the screening period through 52 weeks following GS-100 infusion, including major dental procedures (e.g., wisdom tooth extraction)
• •Pregnant or breastfeeding female patient
• •Patients that demonstrate elevated serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) 1.5 times the upper limit of normal for the reference range must be referred for consultation with a pediatric endocrinologist to rule out primary adrenal insufficiency prior to being enrolled into the study. Patients may re-screen for participation in the study after medical consultation and / or possible treatment has been initiated to address any adrenal insufficiency
