The move comes after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the company’s investigational new drug application for its gene therapy candidate AVR-RD-01 to treat Fabry disease.

The company has dosed seven patients with AVR-RD-01 across the investigator-sponsored Phase I clinical study and FAB-201 and the Phase II clinical trial in Fabry disease currently underway in Australia.

Additional preliminary clinical data from these trials is expected to be available this year.

The open-label, multinational FAB-201 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of AVR-RD-01 in about eight to 12 treatment-naïve males, aged 16 years and older with Fabry disease.

During the second half of this year, the study will expand into the US and includes screening, baseline, pre-transplant, transplant, and post-transplant follow-up at 48 weeks.

After completion of the study, consenting subjects will continue periodic safety and efficacy assessments for about 14 years.
