Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Cohort 1 - Low Dose FBX-101 (aka AAVrh.10-GALC)
Group 1: N=3 patients with Infantile Krabbe disease with previous HSCT will receive a single infusion at the low dose Group 2: N=3 patients with Late Infantile Krabbe disease with previous HSCT will receive a single infusion at the low dose
|
Biological: FBX-101
A replication-deficient adeno-associated virus gene transfer vector expressing the human galactocerebrosidase (GALC) cDNA will be delivered one-time through a venous catheter inserted into a peripheral limb vein.
Other Name: AAVrh.10-hGALC |
Experimental: Cohort 2 - High Dose FBX-101 (aka AAVrh.10-GALC)
Group 1: N=3 patients with Infantile Krabbe disease with previous HSCT will receive a single infusion at the high dose Group 2: N=3 patients with Late Infantile Krabbe disease with previous HSCT will receive a single infusion at the high dose

Other Name: AAVrh.10-hGALC |
- Safety as assessed by incidence and severity of adverse events and serious adverse events that are attributed to FBX-101 [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
- Efficacy as assessed by improvement of gross motor function as measured longitudinally by Gross Motor Function Measure 88 (GMFM-88) compared to untreated patients of those receiving HSCT only [ Time Frame: 12 months and 24 months ]

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Group 1: Subjects transplanted for infantile onset Krabbe disease (IKD onset <12 months) with initial diagnosis based on:
- Galactocerebrosidase (GALC) activity levels in leukocytes compatible with the diagnosis of infantile Krabbe disease according to the lab releasing the results; AND AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Elevated psychosine predictive of infantile onset disease ≥ 9 nmol/L; OR
- Imaging or neurophysiological findings (refer to Addendum 1) consistent with Krabbe disease (CSF, MRI, NCV, ABR); OR
- Two predicted pathogenic GALC mutations
-
Group 2: Subjects transplanted for late infantile onset Krabbe (LIKD onset 12-47 months) with signs or symptoms of Krabbe disease, and with initial diagnosis based on:
- Galactocerebrosidase (GALC) activity levels in leukocytes compatible with the diagnosis of late infantile Krabbe disease according to the lab releasing the results; AND AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Elevated psychosine predictive of late infantile onset disease ≥ 1.5 nmol/L; OR
- Imaging or neurophysiological findings (refer to Addendum 1) consistent with Krabbe disease (CSF, MRI, NCV, ABR); OR
- Two predicted pathogenic GALC mutations; OR
- Neurological/developmental exam findings
- Participants must have received HSCT at least 90 days prior to dosing date
- At least 30% engraftment of myeloid cells by month 3 post-transplant or 10% by one year and/or after post-transplant that result in GALC leukocyte levels >0.2 nmol/h/mg
- Participant's parents or legal guardian consent to participate in the study and provide informed consent according to IRB/IEC guidelines prior to any study procedures being performed
- Parent(s) and/or legal guardian able to comply with the clinical protocol
Exclusion Criteria:
- Immunoassay with total anti-AAVrh10 antibody titers of >1:100
- History of prior treatment with a gene therapy product
- Inability to actively move upper extremities against gravity
- Grade 3 or higher abnormalities in LFTs, bilirubin, creatinine, white count, hemoglobin, platelets, PT/INR and PTT according to latest version of CTCAE
