Amicus Announces Additional Positive Interim Clinical Data for CLN6 Batten Disease Gene Therapy at 48th Annual Meeting of the Child Neurology Society
New Data Support Meaningful Impact on Motor and Language Function in Children with Fatal Neurologic Disease
Evidence of Disease Stabilization in 7 of 8 Children with Data for up to 2 Years Post-Treatment
CRANBURY, NJ, and CHARLOTTE, NC, October 24, 2019 – Amicus Therapeutics (Nasdaq: FOLD) today announced additional positive interim results from its CLN6 Batten disease gene therapy program licensed from the Abigail Wexner Research Institute (AWRI) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. The results are featured in a poster presentation at the 48th Annual Meeting of the Child Neurology Society to be held October 23-26, 2019 in Charlotte, NC. The poster is available in the Events and Presentations section of the Amicus Therapeutics corporate website at http://ir.amicusrx.com/events-and-presentations.
AWRI is conducting the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical study of a single one-time intrathecal administration of AAV-CLN6 gene therapy for CLN6 Batten disease. With no approved treatments, CLN6 Batten disease is a fatal neurologic disease that rapidly robs children of their ability to walk, speak, think, and see.
Clinical Data Highlights:
Interim safety data are available for 12 patients. Interim efficacy data are available for the first eight children with CLN6 Batten disease for up to 24 months post-administration of the AAV-CLN6 gene therapy.
· | Safety (n=12): as previously announced, treatment with AAV-CLN6 gene therapy was generally well tolerated. The majority of adverse events (AEs) were mild and unrelated to treatment. Additional details are provided in the poster. |
· | Hamburg Motor & Language Aggregate Score (n=8): as previously announced, as of the interim analysis from this ongoing study, the Hamburg Motor & Language Score, an assessment of ambulation and speech, shows a positive impact on motor and language function for 7 of 8 patients treated (16-25 months post-administration of the gene therapy as of this data cutoff). Additional details are provided in the poster. |
· | Hamburg Motor, Language, Seizure and Vision Subscores (n=8): new data on motor, language, seizure and vision subscores suggest stabilization of these individual components in most patients from baseline to months 12 and 24, in particular those patients treated at a younger age, further supporting the positive impact of one-time intrathecal AAV gene therapy in children with CLN6 Batten disease. Additional details are provided in the poster. |
· | Natural History and Sibling Pair Comparisons: as previously announced, the AAV-CLN6 gene therapy demonstrated a positive impact on motor and language function compared to a natural history data set, including matched comparisons, as well as in comparisons within sibling pairs. Additional details are provided in the poster. |
Jay Barth, Chief Medical Officer of Amicus Therapeutics, stated, “We are pleased to share these positive interim clinical data for our intrathecal AAV gene therapy with the CLN6 physician community for the first time at Child Neurology Society. The aggregate and individual Hamburg components, in addition to the natural history data and sibling comparisons, continue to suggest that our gene therapy in CLN6 Batten disease has the potential to halt the progression of this devastating disease that causes loss of brain function and is fatal in childhood.”
Emily de los Reyes, MD, PhD, Principal Investigator of the CLN6 clinical trial at AWRI at Nationwide Children’s and Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and Neurology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine stated, “I continue to be pleased with the progress of this trial as well as our collection of matched natural history data to further inform the results for the AAV-CLN6 gene therapy. I look forward to following these initial study participants as well as collecting new data for additional participants as we continue to advance the program in CLN6 and move additional Batten disease programs through the clinic in collaboration with Amicus.”
Upcoming Amicus Milestones in Next 12 Months:
· | Collection and presentation of additional natural history data in CLN6 Batten disease |
· | Dosing of additional patients |
· | Advance regulatory discussions |
· | Manufacturing of additional AAV-CLN6 gene therapy underway at Thermo Fisher (Brammer Bio) |
· | Continued advancement of AAV gene therapy programs in CLN3, CLN8 and CLN1 Batten disease. |
About Batten Disease
Batten disease is the common name for a broad class of rare, fatal, inherited disorders of the nervous system also known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, or NCLs. In these diseases, a defect in a specific gene triggers a cascade of problems that interferes with a cell’s ability to recycle certain molecules. Each gene is called CLN (ceroid lipofuscinosis, neuronal) and given a different number designation as its subtype. There are 13 known forms of Batten disease often referred to as CLN1-8; 10-14. The various types of Batten disease have similar features and symptoms but vary in severity and age of onset.
Most forms of Batten disease/NCLs usually begin during childhood. The clinical course often involves progressive loss of independent adaptive skills such as mobility, feeding, and communication. Patients may also experience vision loss, personality changes, behavioral problems, learning impairment, and seizures. Patients typically experience progressive loss of motor function and eventually become wheelchair-bound, are then bedridden, and die prematurely.

To facilitate comparison of AAV9-CLN6-treated patients to natural history patients with respect to clinical course over time, HM+L results from the first 8 treated patients in this study were matched with HM+L results from 11 patients in a retrospective CLN6 natural history study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03285425; PI: Emily de los Reyes, MD). For each treated patient, all natural history patients who had the same baseline Hamburg M+L score at the same age at which treatment started were “matched.” The average Hamburg M+L score for these matched patients was then calculated at the ages corresponding to last observation for each treated patient. Overall, these data indicate that the gene-therapy–treated patients demonstrate stabilization in Hamburg M+L score compared to matched natural history patients. 204 This study was supported by Amicus Therapeutics, Inc.

CONCLUSIONS • These interim safety and efficacy data suggest that AAV9-CLN6 gene therapy has the potential to stabilize disease progression of the variant late-infantile onset CLN6 Batten disease • Most adverse events were mild and unrelated to treatment; the most common treatment-related adverse events were vomiting and back pain, which were all transient. Therefore, intrathecal administration of AAV9-CLN6 is generally well tolerated • Efficacy results demonstrated a meaningful treatment effect in motor and language function ◦◦ AAV9-CLN6-treated patients demonstrated stabilization in HM+L score compared with untreated siblings and natural history patients matched for age and HM+L baseline score ◦◦ Comparison of treated younger and older patients further supports the potential benefit of early intervention of gene therapy with AAV9-CLN6 REFERENCES 1.
