Abstract:
:Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)rh74.MCK.GALGT2 is a muscle-specific gene therapy that is being developed to treat forms of muscular dystrophy. Here we report on an isolated limb infusion technique in a non-human primate model, where hindlimb blood flow is transiently isolated using balloon catheters to concentrate vector in targeted leg muscles. A bilateral dose of 2.5 × 1013 vector genomes (vg)/kg/limb was sufficient to induce GALGT2-induced glycosylation in 10%-60% of skeletal myofibers in all leg muscles examined. There was a 19-fold ± 6-fold average limb-wide increase in vector genomes per microgram genomic DNA at a bilateral dose of 2.5 × 1013 vg/kg/limb compared with a bilateral dose of 6 × 1012 vg/kg/limb. A unilateral dose of 6 × 1013 vg/kg/limb showed a 12- ± 3-fold increase in treated limb muscles compared to contralateral untreated limb muscles, which received vector only after release into the systemic circulation from the treated limb. Variability in AAV biodistribution between different segments of the same muscle was 125% ± 18% for any given dose, while variability between the same muscle for any given treatment dose was 45% ± 7%. These experiments demonstrate that treatment of muscles throughout the leg with rAAVrh74.MCK.GALGT2 can be accomplished safely using an isolated limb infusion technique, where balloon catheters transiently isolate the limb vasculature, but that intra- and inter-muscle transduction variability is a significant issue.
