Brief Summary

LPL (Lipoprotein Lipase) is an enzyme which plays an important role in the elimination of triglycerides (fat) and the clearance of dietary fat particles known as chylomicrons (CM) in the blood. In patients who have an abnormal LPL gene, the enzyme does not work (total, hereditary LPL deficiency), which results in a large increase in the amount of triglycerides (fats) and chylomicrons in the blood. This increases the risk of inflammation in the pancreas and leads to long term negative effects for bloods vessels (atherosclerosis). Current medications and / or a strict and low fat diet do not sufficiently reduce the level of triglycerides in order to prevent these conditions. To solve this problem, the company, AMT is developing a gene therapy (AMT-011). In normal healthy individuals, fat particles are rapidly cleared from the circulation following a standard meal. Within approximately 3 hours the highest levels of fat is reached and clearance is achieved within the subsequent 9 hours. In LPLD subjects, the clearance of fat is greatly reduced as a direct consequence of the lack of LPL. During this study, a standard meal with a tracer (3H-palmitate) is given. Since palmitate is incorporated in the dietary fat, this study enabled monitoring of appearance of newly formed dietary fat into- and clearance of these newly formed dietary fats from the circulation, over time. The principal aim of the study is to verify if the gene therapy (AMT 011) is still effective in the treatment of this condition. Systemic appearance and clearance of new formed dietary fat particles after ingestion of the meal will be determined by measuring the level of tracer at different time points.

You may qualify if:

  • Has provided signed informed consent.
  • Male or female aged 18 to 70 years, inclusive at the time of consent.
  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test and agree to use a medically acceptable effective form of birth control from screening through Day 21 visit.
  • Subjects in Cohort 1 (previously treated LPLD Cohort) must have received AMT-011 during Studies CT-AMT-011-01 or -02 as verified by site personnel.
  • Subjects in Cohort 2 (untreated LPLD control Cohort)) may have completed study PREPARATION-02 as verified by site personnel or known patients with genetically confirmed LPLD.
  • Volunteers in Cohort 3 (normal healthy control Cohort) must not have LPLD.
  • Subjects must be in good general physical health with, in the opinion of the investigator, no other clinically significant and relevant abnormalities of medical history, and no abnormalities at the physical examination and routine laboratory evaluation performed prior to the study.
  • Must be able to communicate fully and effectively with the study personnel.

  • Female subjects who have a positive serum pregnancy test or who are nursing.
  • Known allergy to any of the constituents of the radiolabeled meal/radio labeled agent, or a history of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions.
  • Investigator-determined clinically significant disease (other than LPLD for those subjects with LPLD), that would affect the subject's participation in the study.
  • Healthy Volunteers with a history or presence of neurological, haematological, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, or other conditions known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs, including plasma lipids out side normal range for age and gender and a body mass index (BMI) \>30.
  • Any current or relevant previous history of serious, severe, or unstable physical or psychiatric illness, any medical disorder that may make the participant unlikely to fully complete the study, or any condition that presents undue risk from the study medication or procedures.
  • A laboratory value at screening outside the normal range unless it is judged by the investigator as not clinically significant after appropriate evaluation.
  • Clinically significant ECG at screening as determined by the investigator.
  • Blood donations (≥1 unit) during the 2 months preceding and following the study or other significant blood loss.
  • Other unspecified reasons that, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, make the subject unsuitable for enrolment.
