Eligibility Criteria
Patients 12 years of age and over with confirmed PKP2-ACM.
You may not qualify if:
- Male or female age 12 years or older at the time of providing informed consent (i.e., ICF provision).
- Capable and willing to provide signed informed consent and/or assent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and protocol.
- Clinical diagnosis of arrhythmogenic cardio myopathy (ACM)
- Documentation of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in PKP2 by a CLIA-certified genetic testing laboratory
- History of ICD implantation ≥6 months prior to ICF provision
- Left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiogram or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) ≥50% at ≤12 months prior to ICF provision
- Patients meeting any of the following criteria are excluded from study participation:
- Gene testing indicates that the subject's arrhythmia or cardiomyopathy may be related to a genetic etiology other than PKP2 truncating variant.
- Concurrent participation in any other clinical investigation involving use of an investigational agent that could confound results of this study.
- Previous participation in a study of gene transfer or gene editing.
- NYHA Class IV heart failure.
- Presence or requirement for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) or predicted need for MCS or heart transplantation within 6 months of enrollment.
- Prior cardiac or other organ (lung, liver, other) transplantation.
- Pacemaker dependent rhythm documented, as assessed by the principal investigator ≤12 months prior to enrollment.
- Positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody test.
- +1 more criteria
