A Phase 1, Dose Escalation Trial of RP-A601 in Subjects With PKP2 Variant-Mediated Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (PKP2-ACM)

A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Trial Evaluating an Intravenously Administered Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus Serotype rh.74 (AAVrh.74) Vector Containing the Human Plakophilin-2a (PKP2a) Coding Sequence (RP-A601; AAVrh.74-PKP2a) in Subjects With Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy Arising From Pathogenic PKP2 Variants (PKP2-ACM)

This Phase 1 dose escalation trial will assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single dose intravenous infusion of RP-A601 in high-risk adult patients with PKP2-ACM.

5. History of Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) implantation ≥6 months prior to enrollment
6. PVC frequency ≥500 per 24 hours by ambulatory rhythm monitoring
7. Left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiogram or CMR ≥50%

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Anti-AAVrh.74 capsid neutralizing antibody titer of >1:40
2. Cardiomyopathy related to a genetic etiology other than PKP2 truncating variant
3. Previous participation in a study of gene transfer or gene editing
4. Severe Right Ventricular (RV) dysfunction
5. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV heart failure.
