Study Description

Brief Summary:
GM2 gangliosidoses are a group of autosomal recessive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by a deficiency of the Hex A enzyme to catabolize GM2, thereby causing GM2 accumulation within cellular lysosomes.Hex A is composed of 2 subunits, α- and β-, coded by the HEXA and HEXB genes, respectively. The primary purpose of the current study is to assess the safety and tolerability of TSHA101 administered via IT injection.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and tolerability: Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Incidence, severity, and relatedness of TEAEs

  2. Safety and Tolerability: Number of participants with abnormal Laboratory assessments [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Number of participants with Changes from Baseline in laboratory assessments

  3. Safety and Tolerability: Electrocardiogram (ECG) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Changes from Baseline in 12-lead ECG findings in QT interval


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and tolerability: Viral shedding analysis [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Positive presence of viral DNA from biological fluids (whole blood, urine, saliva, and stool)

  2. Assessment of Immunogenicity: Biomarkers in serum [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Summary of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) titers for adeno-associated virus, serotype 9 (AAV9) and Hex A

  3. Assessment of Immunogenicity: Biomarkers in serum [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Summary of total antibodies (TAbs) titers for AAV9 and Hex A

  4. Assessment of Immunogenicity: Biomarkers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Summary of PBMCs for enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot (ELISpot) assays for cytokine secretion against AAV9 and Hex A

  5. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: treatment to death from any cause, up to 5 years ]
    Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method

  6. Hex A Enzyme Activity: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Change from baseline

  7. Head Control: Number of events for abnormal head control [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    change from Baseline

  8. Change from Baseline in motor function: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP-INTEND) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    The test consists of 16 items (body parts), where each item is tested for both sides of the body, left and right. The best score is taken for each item (with a maximum score of 4), and the scores are summed over all 16 items with a possible total CHOP-INTEND score of 64.

  9. Change from Baseline in Motor Function: Modified Ashworth Scale [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    change from Baseline. Increase or decrease of muscle tone will be measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale. Frequency counts and percentages will be presented by score (0, 1, 1+, 2, 3, and 4), muscle, side, and visit for the safety population. Flexion and extension of the knee and elbow will be measured on both sides, along with hip adduction and abduction on both sides of the body.

  10. Clinical Efficacy Assessment: Progression of Hypotonia [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Assessed through neurological examinations as present or absent. Baseline to each post-Baseline visit

  11. Clinical Efficacy Assessment: Dysphagia [ Time Frame: From onset up to 3 years, if present ]
    Assessment of the dysphagia events- assessed as present or absent.
