About this trial

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multiple-center, dose escalation and cohort expansion study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NGGT002 in adult subjects with classic Phenylketonuria (PKU). NGGT002 is a rAAV8 based vector carrying a functional copy of the human PAH gene.

Participants will receive a single administration of NGGT002 and will be followed for safety and efficacy for 5 years.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Voluntarily participating in the study and signing the informed consent form;

Gender is not limited; patients must carry biallelic pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in the PAH gene;

Adult patients aged 18 to 55 years;

In the past 24 months, at least two blood Phe concentrations have been ≥600 μmol/L (10 mg/dL), with at least one of these measurements taken within 6 months prior to the screening period;

Disqualifiers

Presence of anti-AAV8 neutralizing antibodies(≥1:5)

Participants whose disease is well-controlled with existing therapies, such as those currently receiving medications like Sapropterin Dihydrochloride tablets, Pegvaliase-pqpz, etc. (excluding participants who have previously received the above-mentioned drug therapies but did not respond, and have been off treatment for more than 6 weeks);

Alanine Transaminase (ALT) > 1.5×ULN and/or Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) > 1.5×ULN

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) > 1.5×ULN
