REGENXBIO Presents Positive Twelve-Month Pivotal Data from Phase I/II/III CAMPSIITE® Trial of RGX-121 for Treatment of MPS II
-
12-month pivotal data further demonstrate the ability of one-time RGX-121 treatment to improve outcomes for patients with MPS II
- >80% reduction in CSF levels of HS D2S6, key biomarker of MPS II brain disease, sustained through 1 year
- Pivotal patients demonstrate continued skill acquisition or stability, stratified by baseline function, through 1 year
- Primary endpoint of CSF HS D2S6 reduction at week 16 met; strong correlation to neurodevelopmental outcomes at 1 year, supporting HS D2S6 as surrogate biomarker reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit
- RGX-121 would be the first and only potential one-time, commercially-available therapy designed to directly address the underlying genetic cause of Hunter syndrome, if approved
"These positive biomarker and functional data provide further evidence of the long-term potential of RGX-121 to change the trajectory of Hunter syndrome for boys with this devastating, degenerative disease," said
"I am highly encouraged by the 12-month pivotal data and continued safety and efficacy profile of RGX-121," said Roberto Giugliani, M.D., Ph.D., Professor, Department of Genetics, UFRGS, Medical Genetics Service, HCPA, Porto Alegre, Brazil. "The vast majority of Hunter syndrome patients have no current treatment options to address the neurodevelopmental decline of this disease and are in urgent need of new therapies, and a one-time treatment option, like RGX-121, could make a meaningful impact on their lives."
Data Summary
In the pivotal phase of the CAMPSIITE trial (n=13), participants through one year sustained an 82% median reduction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of heparan sulfate (HS) D2S6, a key biomarker of MPS II brain disease that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. These longer-term data are consistent with previously reported topline pivotal results from the CAMPSIITE trial, which met its primary endpoint of proportion of participants with CSF HS D2S6 below maximum attenuated levels at week 16 with statistical significance (p < 0.0001). Similar results were previously reported for the pivotal dose in the dose-finding phase of the study, with 85% reductions of CSF HS D2S6 sustained through two years.
Positive neurodevelopmental outcomes were observed in the pivotal and dose-finding phases of the CAMPSIITE trial. Pivotal participants demonstrated neurodevelopmental skill acquisition or stability on all sub-scales of the Bayley Scales of Infant and
New data from both the dose-finding and pivotal phases of the CAMPSIITE trial demonstrate a strong correlation between measured CSF HS D2S6 levels at week 16 and neurocognitive outcomes at one year. This correlation supports the use of CSF HS D2S6, a type of glycosaminoglycan (GAG), as a surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit under the accelerated approval pathway, as the buildup of GAGs in MPS II leads to clinical manifestations including neurodevelopmental deficits.

About RGX-121 (clemidsogene lanparvovec)
RGX-121 is a potential one-time AAV therapeutic for the treatment of boys with MPS II, designed to deliver the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene to the central nervous system (CNS). Delivery of the IDS gene within cells in the CNS could provide a permanent source of secreted iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S) protein beyond the blood-brain barrier, allowing for long-term cross correction of cells throughout the CNS. RGX-121 expressed protein is structurally identical to normal I2S.
RGX-121 has received Orphan Drug Product, Rare Pediatric Disease, Fast Track and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designations from the FDA and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP) classification from the
About the CAMPSIITE® Trial
CAMPSIITE is a Phase I/II/III multicenter, open-label trial for boys aged four months up to five years with neuronopathic MPS II. The primary endpoint of the trial is measurement of CSF GAGs. Accurate and sensitive measurements of CSF GAGs, such as HS D2S6, have the potential to be considered a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit in MPS II disease under the accelerated approval pathway, as buildup of GAGs in the CSF of MPS II patients correlates with clinical manifestations including neurodevelopmental deficits.
The pivotal program uses commercial-scale cGMP material from REGENXBIO's proprietary, high-yielding suspension-based manufacturing process, named NAVXpress®. In addition to measuring GAGs in the CSF, the trial will continue to collect neurodevelopmental data and caregiver-reported outcomes.
About Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II)
MPS II, or Hunter Syndrome, is a rare, X-linked recessive disease caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme I2S leading to an accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including heparan sulfate (HS) in tissues which ultimately results in cell, tissue, and organ dysfunction, including in the CNS. In severe forms of the disease, early developmental milestones may be met, but developmental delay is readily apparent by 18 to 24 months. Specific treatment to address the neurological manifestations of MPS II remains a significant unmet medical need. Key biomarkers of I2S enzymatic activity in MPS II patients include its substrate heparan sulfate (HS) D2S6, which has been shown to correlate with neurocognitive manifestations of the disorder.
