An AAV Gene Therapy Trial of AFTX-201 in Adults With BAG3-Associated Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-exploration and dose-expansion, clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of a single intravenous infusion of AFTX-201 in adults with dilated cardiomyopathy caused by a BAG3 gene mutation

Inclusion Criteria: Male or female, 18 to 55 years of age Truncating mutation in BAG3 Dilated cardiomyopathy with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 45% NYHA Class II or III heart failure symptoms NT-proBNP ≥ 300 pg/mL for subjects in sinus rhythm or paced rhythm, or ≥ 600 pg/mL for subjects in atrial fibrillation Willing and able to sign informed consent and comply with study procedures Exclusion Criteria: Prior myocardial infarction, heart transplant, or presence/requirement of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) IV therapy with positive inotropes, vasodilators, or diuretics for heart failure within 30 days prior to enrollment Positive neutralizing antibodies to ATC-0187 Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would place the subject at undue risk or interfere with study participation or interpretation of results
