Gene Therapy for Severe Crigler Najjar Syndrome

A Phase I/II, Open Label, Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of an Intravenous Injection of GNT0003 (AAV Vector Expressing the UGT1A1 Transgene) in Patients With Severe Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Requiring Phototherapy

This is a Phase 1/2, multinational, open-label, study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravenous infusion of GNT0003 in patients with Crigler-Najjar aged ≥10 years and requiring phototherapy. Patients will received a single administration of GNT0003 and will be followed for safety and efficacy of approximately 60 months (5 years):

• a follow-up of approximately 12 months (48 weeks)
• a long term follow-up of approximately 48 months (4 years), in order to be in line with the latest EMEA Guideline on follow-up of patients administered with gene therapy medicinal products, released on 22 Oct.2009 by the Committee for medicinal products for human use.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with severe Crigler-Najjar syndrome resulting from a molecular confirmation of mutations in the UGT1A1 gene and requiring phototherapy
• Male or female at least 9 years at the date of signature of informed consent
