MMA is a rare inborn error of branched chain amino acid metabolism. Despite strict dietary adherence and vigilant monitoring and care, affected individuals have recurrent episodes of severe illness and develop complications from different organ systems that can be life-threatening. Liver transplants can help, but gene transfer therapy could offer an alternative treatment option. This study will be an open-label, single dose, single center study of SEL-302 consisting of two investigative therapeutics: a gene transfer therapy that is using an inactive virus, called adeno-associated-virus 8 (AAV8), to deliver the MMUT gene to the liver, by itself called MMA-101, and an immunotherapy called SEL-110, a nano-encapsulated form of sirolimus.~The study will enroll two cohorts treating up to a total of 6 subjects.~Cohort 1: 3 adolescents (≥12 and <18 years of age) Cohort 2: 3 children (≥3 and <12 years of age, with a minimum body weight of 15 kg)~The dose of MMA-101 administered to each subject will be 1.0E13 vg/kg. Each progression to the next subject dosed in the study will be reviewed and approved by a data safety monitoring committee.~The first subject in Cohort 1 will receive only MMA-101. The second adolescent subject in Cohort 1 will be treated with 0.15 mg/kg of SEL-110 followed by MMA-101 on Day 1 and two repeat doses of 0.15 mg/kg of SEL-110 at Day 28 and Day 56. The dose of SEL-110 in the third subject in Cohort 1 may be increased up to 0.3 mg/kg depending on results from the second subject. After assessment of safety and efficacy of Cohort 1, Cohort 2 will be started in younger children.~The dose of SEL-110 in Cohort 2 for the first subject will be 0.15 mg/kg of SEL-110 immediately prior to the dose of MMA-101 on Day 1 and two repeat doses of 0.15 mg/kg of SEL-110 at Day 28 and Day 56. The dose of SEL-110 in the second and third subject in Cohort 2 may be increased up to 0.3 mg/kg at one or more of the three doses depending on results of all previously treated subjects.~The primary efficacy endpoints of reduction in serum methylmalonic acid (sMMA) levels and increases in the 1-13C sodium propionate oxidation breath test (POBT) will be assessed at an interim timepoint for safety evaluation (Day 84) and at the primary endpoint of 1 year.~All subjects will be monitored closely for safety for the first year of the study and then annually for an additional 4 years.
This Phase 1/2 study will evaluate the safety and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SEL-302, which consists of the gene transfer vector MMA-101 following administration of an immunomodulatory SEL-110 agent in pediatric subjects with Methylmalonyl-CoA Mutase (MMUT) MMA.
