This is an interventional treatment trial for AADC Deficiency focused on measuring AADC, gene therapy

Eligibility Criteria

4 Years - undefined (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Definite diagnosis of AADC deficiency, confirmed by at least two of the following three criteria: (1) CSF neurotransmitter profile demonstrating reduced HVA and 5-HIAA, and elevated 3-OMD concentrations; (2) Plasma AADC activity less than or equal to 5 pmol/min/mL; (3) Molecular genetic confirmation of homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in DDC.
  2. Age 4 years and up.
  3. Failed to derive adequate benefit from standard medical therapy (dopamine agonists, monoamine oxidase inhibitor, pyridoxine or related form of Vitamin B6).
  4. Unable to ambulate independently (with or without assistive device).
  5. Cranium sufficiently developed, with sutures closed, to enable surgical placement of SmartFrame® system on the skull for MRI-guided stereotactic targeting.
  6. Brain MRI does not show any conditions or malformations that are clinically significant with respect to risks for stereotactic brain surgery.
  7. Parent(s)/legal guardian(s) of the subject must agree to comply with the requirements of the study, including the need for frequent and prolonged follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Intracranial neoplasm or any structural brain abnormality or lesion (e.g., severe brain atrophy, white matter degenerative changes), which, in the opinion of the study investigators, would confer excessive risk and/or inadequate potential for benefit.
  2. Presence of other significant medical or neurological conditions that would create an unacceptable operative or anesthetic risk (including congenital heart disease, respiratory disease with home oxygen requirement, history of serious anesthesia complications during previous elective procedures, history of cardiorespiratory arrest), liver or renal failure, malignancy, or HIV positive.
  3. Previous stereotactic neurosurgery.
  4. Coagulopathy, or need for ongoing anticoagulant therapy.
  5. Contraindication to sedation during surgery or imaging studies (SPECT, PET or MRI).

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Single treatment arm

Arm Description

Single-stage dose-escalation, open-label safety study of AAV2-hAADC delivered by image-guided convection-enhanced delivery bilaterally into the substantia nigra pars compacta and the ventral tegmental area of pediatric patients with AADC deficiency. 6 subjects will be divided in 2 groups of 3. Primary aim is to determine the dose for future studies based on safety, biomarkers of pharmacological activity of AADC and clinical outcomes. Subjects will be enrolled into 2 dose groups. Group 1 of 3 subjects will receive a single low dose of AAV2 hAADC. The total AAV2-hAADC dose will be infused via MR guided infusion into 4 sites in both the left and right SNc and VTA. Dosing intervals will be 90 days between the first 3 subjects. Group 2 dosing level will be determined by Group 1 results.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Adverse events related to surgery and gene transfer
Assessment of adverse events related to surgery (including intracerebral hemorrhage or stroke, CNS infection) and gene transfer (including severity of post-operative dyskinesia)
CSF neurotransmitter metabolite concentrations

Secondary Outcome Measures

Gross Motor Function Measure
Increase in Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) score
Symptom Diary created by PI
Decrease in frequency and severity of oculogyric episodes

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The overall objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of AAV2-hAADC delivered to the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) in children with aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency.
Detailed Description
The Study will specifically address: Safety, as measured by adverse events (AEs), safety laboratory tests, brain imaging, and the relationship of AEs to study/surgical procedures or to AAV2 hAADC. Clinical responses to treatment with AAV2-hAADC. The primary clinical outcomes will reflect the predominant motor deficits of loss of motor function and dystonic movements. Primary Endpoints Safety: Assessment of AE or severe AE (SAE) and its relationship to study surgery, infusion, or treatment effect (graded as definite, probable, possible, unlikely or unrelated). Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events Post-operative MRI and/or CT (with contrast if clinically indicated) Clinical laboratory assessments (hematology, chemistry, immunology) Biological Activity: Demonstration of effective restoration of AADC function by assays of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurotransmitter metabolites and 18-fluoro-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (F-DOPA) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Secondary and Exploratory Endpoints To obtain preliminary data for clinical response by assessing the magnitude and variability of changes in specific outcomes. The principal clinical outcome measures are: Motor function, as assessed by the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) Frequency of oculogyric episodes, as measured by a Symptom Diary Secondary clinical outcome measures include: • Assessment of subject disability, as assessed using the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI); adaptive behavior, as assessed using Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale; Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGI-C); and quality of life, as determined using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). Although the investigators recognize that the utility of established developmental and cognitive assessments may be limited because of the study population's severe physical disability, the investigators will use the following: Peabody Developmental Motor Scales 2nd edition (PDMS-2) Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 3rd edition.
