Brief Summary:
This is a study of AMT-260 in Adults with Unilateral Refractory Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE). It is designed to investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of AMT-260 in Adults with MTLE Administered via Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided Convection-enhanced Delivery (CED).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Genetic: AAV9-hSyn1-miGRIK2 Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:
The first-in-human Phase I/IIa U.S. trial consists of two parts. The first part is a multi-center, open-label trial with two dosing cohorts of six patients each to assess safety, tolerability, and first signs of efficacy of AMT-260 in patients with refractory unilateral MTLE. The second part is expected be a randomized, controlled trial to generate proof of concept (POC) data.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Cohort 1: AMT-260 starting dose
N# of treated - 6
 Genetic: AAV9-hSyn1-miGRIK2
AMT-260 is an AAV9 gene therapy product that locally delivers miRNA silencing technology to target the GRIK2 gene and suppress aberrantly expressed GluK2 containing kainate receptors. Intervention will be a one-time intracerebral administration of AMT-260.
Other Name: AMT-260
Experimental: Cohort 2: AMT-260 adapted dose

N# of treated - 6

Dose is dependent on the DSMB recommendation.

 Genetic: AAV9-hSyn1-miGRIK2
AMT-260 is an AAV9 gene therapy product that locally delivers miRNA silencing technology to target the GRIK2 gene and suppress aberrantly expressed GluK2 containing kainate receptors. Intervention will be a one-time intracerebral administration of AMT-260.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Occurrence of Adverse Events during the period of 1 year after AMT-260 administration, including seriousness, severity, and causal relationship to AMT-260.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Seizure Frequency [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Change in seizure frequency, comparing baseline to the 1 year period after AMT-260 administration.

  2. Quality of Life in Epilepsy Inventory-31 (QOLIE 31) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Change from baseline in responses to the QOLIE-31 questionnaire will be assessed on the following subscales; seizure worry, overall quality of life, emotional well-being, energy-fatigue, cognitive function, medication effects, and social functioning.

  3. Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Change from baseline in responses to the PHQ9 will be used to assess the level of depression in participants throughout the study.

  4. State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Change from baseline in responses to the STAI questionnaire will be used to assess trait anxiety and state anxiety in participants throughout the study.

  5. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Change from baseline in responses to the PSQI questionnaire will be assessed on the following components; subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction.

  6. miRNA in human biofluid (copies/qPCR reaction). [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Stem-loop RT-qPCR analyses will be used to measure miRNA in Cerebrospinal fluid, Blood Serum, Urine, Saliva.

  7. AAV9 vector in human biofluid (copies/qPCR reaction). [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    qPCR analyses will be used to measure AAV9 vector shedding in Cerebrospinal fluid, Blood Serum, Urine, Saliva.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Adult, 18-65 years of age, inclusive, capable of giving informed consent.
  2. Diagnosis of unilateral refractory MTLE for ≥360 days, confirmed by an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit.
  3. History of seizures with on average ≥ 2 focal onset impaired awareness seizures per 30-day period during the Retrospective Period (3 months prior to screening).
