A Novel, Regulated Gene Therapy (NGN-401) Study for Female Children With Rett Syndrome

Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety profile of the investigational gene therapy, NGN-401, in females with typical Rett syndrome.
Brief Title
A Novel, Regulated Gene Therapy (NGN-401) Study for Females With Rett Syndrome
Detailed Description
The study is a phase 1/2, open-label study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of administration of an adeno-associated viral vector serotype 9 (AAV9), using Neurogene's proprietary transgene regulation technology. NGN-401 contains a full-length human MECP2 gene which is designed to express therapeutic levels of the MECP2 protein while avoiding overexpression.

The study treatment will be given as a single administration under general anesthesia via intracerebroventricular (ICV) delivery. Each participant will be followed for safety and preliminary efficacy for 5 years after treatment and is expected to enroll in a long-term follow-up study for 10 years.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of typical Rett syndrome with a documented disease-causing mutation in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene
* Current anti-epileptic drug regimen has been stable for at least 12 weeks
* Participant and caregiver should reside within a 2-hour drive of the study center for at least 3 months following treatment
* Participant must have never taken trofinetide or have taken trofinetide and discontinued due to lack of tolerability, lack of efficacy, or other reasons. Following NGN-401 dosing, trofinetide may be initiated after a specified time period and with the support of the treating clinician

Exclusion Criteria:

* Normal or near normal hand function
* Has a current clinically significant condition other than Rett syndrome
* Presence of a concomitant medical condition that precludes intracerebroventricular administration, or use of anesthetics or immune suppression needed for study related procedures
* Grossly abnormal psychomotor development in the first 6 months of life
* A history of other genetic disorders or neurological conditions, such as stroke, brain tumor, or autoimmune processes affecting the central nervous system

Other inclusion and exclusion criteria apply.
