PARKIN GT Decision Tree, Draft Timeline, Biomarker Matrix

Clinical Trial Endpoint Continuation

Stable fragments:

4. Novel approach. Ph1/2 may require a large-scale clinical trial design and probably endpoints are indeterminate.
 
Even for Ph1/2, it may impossible to find trial patients in a reasonable time frame.
- Prkn only with placebo (? N=12 to 14)
- DBS only, with placebo (? N=6 or use natural Hx data)
- Prkn + DBS, with placebo (? N=12)
 
Endpoint:
DBS symptomatic but Prkn disease modifying: so different endpoint timing

Decision Tree
POC and cassette selection
 
ICM/neurosurgery with established AAVs as primary scenarios
Novel capsids/iCP-Parkin as contingency plans

Decision / activity labels:

AreaStable text
Mouse POCIn vivo POC in mouse model; Prkn-null; 6-OHDA or MPTP; Meet criteria*; May 2022; Termination
NHP expressionTransgene expression in NHP; Decision #1: May 2022; ICM ROA; AAV1, 5, 9, DJ; Capsid profiling; At least 1 capsid shows of good transgene expression in SN (>20% positive DA neurons by IHC)
Established AAV pathDecision #2-1: Feb 2023; NHP transgene expression by ICM (AAV 1/5/9/DJ); Decision #2-2: Feb 2023; Neurosurgery ROA (AAV 1/5/9/DJ)
iCP-Parkin pathICP-Parkin expression cassette; Collaboration agreement with Cellivery; Dec 2022; Transgene expression and efficacy study in mice model
Best caseMar 2023; CN; POC in NHPs (toxin-induced model); 3mth non-GLP NEURO; 6-mth GLP; Translational Med Development; Aug 2025; IND
Alternative caseDecision #3-1: Dec 2023; NHP transgene expression by ICM (Novel capsid, e.g., HD); Decision #3-2: Dec 2023; NHP transgene expression by ICM with iCP-transgene; Dec 2023; CN; May 2026; IND

Figure notes:

Criteria*: Show >=20% recovery of mitochondria function (by WB, Seahorse), neuroprotection of DA neurons (by IHC) in SN, or symptomatic function (dopamine level by HPLC) by local AAV injection into SN over vehicle control.
 
Criteria#: Show >=20% of DA neuron expressing Parkin protein levels in SN in NHP as shown by IHC (or alternative ISH plus protein expression by LC-MS).
 
Key assumptions:
- Device development successfully for neurosurgery
- Novel capsid identified by HD collaboration

Highlighted bottom note:

December 2022 in vivo mouse POC study using classic Parkin construct and transgene engineering iCP-Parkin with strict criteria (20%). This is a GoNoGo. This is the first VIP.
 
The early decision in FY22 will be an appropriate timing since the peaks of budget/FTE are expected to be FY23-24.
 
The second VIP is the AAV vector (cassette plus capsid) selection and route of administration in non-human primates by transgene expression levels on March 2023. = CN criteria - I think that it is the right timing to start a deeper commercial analysis.
