CRANBURY, N.J.--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCKT), a fully integrated, late-stage biotechnology company advancing a sustainable pipeline of genetic therapies for rare disorders with high unmet need, presented long-term safety and efficacy results from the Phase 1 RP-A501 study which showed that RP-A501 was generally well tolerated and all evaluable Danon disease patients demonstrated LAMP2 protein expression at 12 months (sustained up to 60 months) and reduction of left ventricular (LV) mass index by ≥10% at 12 months (sustained up to 54 months) after treatment. These data were presented today at a Late-Breaking Scientific session at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2024, published in The New England Journal of Medicine ( NEJM ) and discussed on a company webinar today at 12:00 p.m. ET. “ Data presented today at AHA and published in The New England Journal of Medicine represents a critical milestone for the RP-A501 program and cardiac gene therapy in general, demonstrating for the first time that AAV conferred long-term efficacy in a cardiac indication. This program represents the most comprehensive investigational gene therapy dataset for any cardiac condition,” said Gaurav Shah, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Rocket Pharma. “ As is true for many other recent internal and peer company programs, when gene therapy works, it is life changing. RP-A501 is being developed as a potential one-time gene therapy and the results of the long-term Phase 1 study show the promise of gene therapy across cardiac diseases, including PKP2-ACM, BAG3-DCM and others.” The safety and preliminary efficacy of RP-A501 was evaluated in a single-arm, open-label, multi-center Phase 1 study in male patients with Danon disease. Five patients [pediatric (n=2) and adult/adolescent (n=3)] were treated with the low dose (6.7 x 10 13 GC/kg), and 2 adult/adolescent patients were treated with the high dose (1.1 x 10 14 GC/kg). Data from the Phase 1 study (cut-off April 19, 2024) showed that RP-A501 in conjunction with a transient immunomodulatory regimen was generally well tolerated. Most adverse events (AEs) were mild or moderate in severity, assessed as not related to RP-A501, and non-serious. All RP-A501 or immunomodulatory regimen-related AEs were manageable or reversible. One patient had worsening heart failure at baseline (LVEF <40%) attributed to Danon disease and required heart transplantation for cardiomyopathy progression five months after receiving RP-A501. Evidence of sustained clinically meaningful improvement was observed in pediatric patients followed up to 24 months and adult/adolescent patients followed up to 60 months. All evaluable patients in the Phase 1 trial demonstrated: Cardiac LAMP2 protein expression at 12 months and thereafter; Reduction or stabilization of LV mass index – the median reduction from baseline to most recent visit of 24% (for the ongoing pivotal Phase 2 trial, a 10% reduction in LV mass index and positive protein expression of Grade 1 or more are co-primary endpoints); Preservation of normal LV ejection fraction (LVEF); Reduction or stabilization of cardiac biomarkers (median cTnI and NTproBNP reductions of 84% and 57%, respectively); Improvement in New York Heart Association class from Class II at baseline to Class I at most recent follow-up visit; NYHA Class I reflects the absence of clinical signs of heart failure; Improvements in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire quality-of-life (median improvement of 27 points) scores that persisted up to 54 months of follow-up; and Preliminary long-term follow-up assessments for Patient 1001 were positive for immunohistochemical staining and appear to show Grade 3 expression in the heart at the five-year timepoint. These are preliminary results with a formal update to be presented at an upcoming medical conference in 2025. “ The long-term safety and efficacy results in the Phase 1 study are very encouraging for patients with Danon disease. In this study we found consistent, robust improvements and/or normalization across multiple quantifiable parameters that cardiologists use in clinical practice for assessing risk and making management decisions,” said Barry H. Greenberg, MD, FHFSA, Distinguished Professor of Medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Director of the Advanced Heart Failure Treatment Program at UC San Diego Health, primary investigator of the RP-A501 Phase 1 trial and primary author of the manuscript. “ Currently, there are no other therapies that have been shown to demonstrate improvement of Danon disease-related cardiomyopathy, and while heart transplantation can prolong life, it is not curative and is associated with significant one-year mortality and complications. Data from this study shows promise for the Danon disease community.” Investor Webcast Information Company management will host a 30-minute call via webcast today, November 18, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. ET.

About RP-A501 RP-A501 is Rocket’s investigational gene therapy product for the treatment of Danon disease and the first gene therapy for a cardiovascular condition to demonstrate safety and efficacy in clinical studies. Danon disease is caused by mutations in the LAMP2 gene. RP-A501 consists of a recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) capsid containing a full-length, wild-type version of the human LAMP2B transgene (AAV9.LAMP2B) which, when inserted into cardiac cells (cardiomyocytes) harboring mutations in the endogenous LAMP2 gene, has the potential to substantially restore cardiac function by addressing the root cause of Danon disease. RP-A501 is a single dose treatment administered as an intravenous infusion. In preclinical and clinical studies, AAV9.LAMP2B has been generally well tolerated and shown to target cardiomyocytes and deliver the functional LAMP2B gene to heart tissue, which ultimately leads to improvement in cardiac structure and overall clinical function in patients. About Danon Disease Danon disease is a rare X-linked inherited disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2), an important mediator of autophagy. This results in accumulation of autophagosomes and glycogen, particularly in cardiac muscle and other tissues, which ultimately leads to heart failure, and for male patients, frequent death during adolescence or early adulthood. It is estimated to have a prevalence of 15,000 to 30,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe. The only available treatment option for Danon disease is cardiac transplantation, which is associated with substantial complications and is not considered curative, representing the high unmet medical need for patients with Danon disease.
