Sustained Clinical Benefit of AAV Gene Therapy in Severe Hemophilia B. (PubMed, N Engl J Med) - P1 | "A single administration of scAAV2/8-LP1-hFIXco gene therapy resulted in durable factor IX expression, sustained clinical benefit, and no late-onset safety concerns over a period of 13 years. These data support the long-term efficacy and safety of AAV gene therapy for severe hemophilia B. (Funded by the U.K. Medical Research Council and others; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00979238; EudraCT number, 2005-005711-17.)."

Stable Therapeutic Transgenic FIX Levels for More Than 10 Years in Subjects with Severe Hemophilia B Who Received scAAV2/8-LP1-Hfixco Adeno-Associated Virus Gene Therapy (ASH 2023) - P1 | "Expression of transgenic FIX has remained stable over a period of 10 years following systemic administration of scAAV2/8-LP1-hFIXco resulting in sustained clinical benefit, with substantial reduction in ABR and FIX concentrate use."

Long-Term Persistence of Antibodies to Adeno-Associated Viral Vectors Following Gene Therapy with scAAV8-LP1-Fixco (ASH 2023) - P1 | "We report a longitudinal analysis of anti-AAV antibody response over a 10-year period in severe HB participants following systemic administration of scAAV2/8-LP1-hFIXco from the St Jude-UCL Phase I/II, gene therapy trial (AGT4HB ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT00979238)...AAV5 NAB titres were lower than other serotypes declining to levels below a threshold required for efficient gene transfer in the low and mid dose cohort within 10 years. This suggests that, should FIX levels fall below therapeutic levels in this cohort, successful re-administration of an alternative vector may be possible."

Adeno-Associated Mediated Gene Transfer for Hemophilia B:8 Year Follow up and Impact of Removing "Empty Viral Particles" on Safety and Efficacy of Gene Transfer (ASH 2018) - P1; "Conclusion : This is the first report to demonstrate stable therapeutic expression of FIX in patients with severe HB over a period of 8 years following systemic administration of scAAV2/8-LP1-hFIXco without late toxicities. We show for the first time that reducing the capsid load by removing empty AAV capsids does not appear to reduce the incidence of hepatotoxicity in patients with severe HB suggesting that other factors are involved in the aetiology of this process."

Interspecies normalization of dose response relationship for adeno-associated virus-mediated hemophilia gene therapy - application to human dose prediction. (PubMed, Br J Clin Pharmacol) - "This study first demonstrated that it is feasible to normalize dose-response relationship of AAV-mediated hemophilia gene therapy in multiple species to a species-invariant scale. The normalized dose response relationship from preclinical species was successfully extrapolated to patients for FIH dose prediction."

A Novel Self-Complementary AAV Vector Enhances Transgene Expression (ASGCT 2022) - "For new scAAV-EGFP-TelN and scAAV-Gluc-TelN, the transgene expression was not obviously affected by MRN inhibitor KU55933 or Mirin. In vivo assay showed that hFIX expression was significantly different between scAAV-hFIX and scAAV-hFIX-TelN, the later showed a higher hFIX expression level in the long term. In conclusion, this new scAAV vector shows more efficient transduction efficacy in vitro and in vivo, without sacrificing productivity."

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Gene Therapy Ameliorates Bone Loss in Ovariectomy-induced Osteoporosis Mouse Model. (PubMed) - "These results demonstrate that hAAT gene therapy by rAAV vector efficiently mitigates bone loss possibly through inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 and RANK gene expression. Considering the safety profile of hAAT and rAAV vector in humans, our results provide new alternative for the treatment of osteoporosis."

Long-term follow-up of liver-directed, adeno-associated, vector-mediated gene therapy in the canine model of hemophilia A (WFH 2012) - At 5–7 years post–gene transfer, FVIII levels ranged between 13% and 24% and now, at 8->10 years follow-up, FVIII levels are between 10% and 17%; These values are consistent with whole blood clot times that prior to therapy were between 14 and 18 min and post–gene transfer have remained below 7 min

Developing immunologically inert adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors for gene therapy: possibilities and limitations (Curr Pharm Biotechnol) - "Several strategies, that aim targeted disruption of antigenic sites or those that chemically modify the vectors have been proposed for host immune evasion. While these approaches have been successful in the pre-clinical model systems, this continues to be a field of intense experimentation and constant improvisation due to limited information available on vector immunology or data from human studies."

Stable factor IX activity following AAV-mediated gene transfer in patients with severe hemophilia B (ASH 2012) - P1, N=8; NCT00979238; "Larger numbers of patients followed for longer periods of time are necessary to fully define the benefits and risks and to optimize dosing. However, this gene therapy approach, even with its risk of mild, transient transaminitis, has the potential to convert the bleeding phenotype of patients with severe hemophilia B into a mild form of the disease or to reverse it entirely for a prolonged period of time following vector administration"
