Lysogene Provides Update on the AAVance Clinical Trial Evaluating LYS-SAF302 in Patients with MPS IIIA
Regulatory News:
Lysogene (Paris:LYS) (FR0013233475 – LYS), a Phase 3 gene therapy platform company targeting central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today announced that a patient has passed away in the AAVance clinical trial (NCT03612869), a global Phase 2/3 gene therapy trial for the treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA (MPS IIIA, also known as Sanfilippo syndrome type A). MPS IIIA is a serious, life-threatening, inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder characterized by intractable behavioral problems and developmental regression resulting in early death.
The immediate cause of death is currently unknown and additional information is being collected. At this time, there is no evidence that the event is linked to the study drug administration.
Lysogene is diligently following per study protocol the 18 patients who have been treated in the clinical trial.
Lysogene is profoundly saddened by the passing of this child and extends its deepest sympathies to the family. The company remains committed to the LYS-SAF302 development program and the Sanfilippo patient community. The company plans to provide further information on the LYS-SAF302 program based on both ongoing data collection and future regulatory status updates.
