Brief Summary:
This is a Prospective, Single-center, Open-label, Single-arm Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CS-121, an In Vivo Base Editing Therapy Delivered by Lipid Nanoparticles Targeting APOC3, in Children and Adolescents (4-18 years) With Hyperchylomicronemia
Detailed Description:
CS-121 is an investigational, in vivo base editing therapy delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) targeting the APOC3 gene in the liver. By introducing precise base edits at specific APOC3 loci, CS-121 is intended to mimic naturally occurring protective mutations that reduce APOC3 expression, thereby restoring triglyceride clearance pathways and lowering pancreatitis risk. Preclinical studies in transgenic mouse and non-human primate models demonstrated dose-dependent APOC3 editing, reductions in serum ApoC3 protein and triglyceride levels, and acceptable safety profiles, supporting advancement into human evaluation. This open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation early exploratory trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK/PD characteristics and preliminary efficacy of CS-121 in patients with hyperchylomicronemia. Based on the properties of gene editing therapy, the primary focus of the study is to identify the optimal biological dose (OBD) rather than the traditional maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
