A Phase 1/2/3 First-in-Human, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a Single Intravenous (IV) Administration of ECUR-506 in Males Less Than 9 Months of Age With Genetically Confirmed Neonatal Onset Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) Deficiency

Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, the most common urea cycle disorder, is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by a genetic defect in a liver enzyme responsible for detoxifying of ammonia. Individuals with OTC deficiency can develop elevated levels of ammonia in the blood, potentially resulting in severe consequences, including cumulative and irreversible neurological damage, coma, and death. The most severe form presents shortly after birth and occurs more commonly in boys than girls. This is a Phase 1/2/3, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety, efficacy, and dose of ECUR-506 in male babies with neonatal-onset OTC deficiency. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of up to three dose levels of ECUR-506 following intravenous (IV) administration of a single dose.

Treatment-emergent adverse events (incidence, severity, seriousness, and relatedness)
Toxicity is graded in accordance with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Adverse events (AEs) are reported based on clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, Pediatric Neurologist exam parameters, electrocardiograms, and any other medically indicated assessments from the time informed consent is signed through the end of the safety follow-up period. AEs are considered to be treatment emergent (TEAE) if they occur or worsen in severity following the administration of the study treatment. TEAEs are considered treatment-related if relationship to study drug is possibly related, probably related, or definitely related.
Over 24 weeks post infusion
Physical exam parameters
Safety- (Includes PI assessment of General Appearance, Dermatological, HEENT, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Cardiovascular, Gastrointestinal, Musculoskeletal, Neurological (Cranial Nerve Function, Motor System Function, Sensory System Function, Primitive Reflexes))
Assessed as change from baseline at pre-specified timepoints as described in the SOE throughout the duration of the study on all enrolled and dosed participants.
Participants will receive the Low Dose of ECUR-506 delivered one time via IV Infusion.
Participants will receive an intermediate dose of ECUR-506 delivered on time via IV infusion
Participants will receive a higher dose of ECUR-506 delivered one time via IV infusion.
ECUR-506 is a gene editing treatment delivering a gene encoding the editing enzyme and an OTC gene.

Urinalysis evaluations
Toxicity is graded in accordance with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Adverse events (AEs) are reported based on clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, electrocardiograms, and any other medically indicated assessments from the time informed consent is signed through the end of the safety follow-up period. AEs are considered to be treatment emergent (TEAE) if they occur or worsen in severity following the administration of the study treatment.
