The aim of the European study is to build upon the safety demonstrated in the first human dose (FHD) randomized, double blind, sham-controlled sequential dose escalation study (CT-AMT-130-01; clinicaltrials.gov NCT04120493) being conducted in the US and expand the number of patients exposed to the two doses to provide sufficient sample size for comparisons of safety and efficacy. CT-AMT-130-02 is a Phase Ib/II open-label sequential ascending dose study that will be conducted in approximately 5 to 8 European HD centers; 3 to 4 of these centers will serve as surgical sites. Both studies will share a common set of clinical, safety, imaging, and biomarker evaluations over 5 years of follow-up. The DSMB will evaluate safety and other parameters to enable the staggered treatment of patients within each of the dosing cohorts
This is the second study of AMT-130 in patients with early manifest HD and is designed as part of an integrated two-study phase I/II program under a single data safety monitoring board (DSMB) with staggered enrollment based upon continued demonstration of safety of AMT-130 administration.
