Informed consent considerations

  • Education of AAV-based gene therapy

 
• General knowledge of the rationale and approach 
• General knowledge about AAV vectors 
  • Safety

 
• Short-term safety: infusion reactions, transaminase, and CPK elevations 
• Likelihood/plan for immune modulation and glucocorticoid side effects 
• Long-term safety considerations: unclear implications on liver health and theoretical risk of genotoxicity 
  • Efficacy

 
• Expression profile and durability 
• Range of phenotypic improvement at 1 year vs longitudinally; frequency of therapeutic response vs nonresponse 
• Development of anti-AAV neutralizing antibodies and anticipated inability to receive future AAV therapies unless there are scientific developments to overcome anti-AAV neutralizing antibodies. 
  • Procedures

 
• Infusion day 
• Anticipated short-term follow-up and monitoring; baseline liver ultrasound and blood tests 
• Anticipated long-term follow-up and monitoring, including recommendations around long-term liver health and minimizing potential liver toxicities (eg, alcohol use, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease); planned long-term liver health evaluations and durability of expression 
• Vector shedding precautions for clinic visits and close contacts (see supplemental Table 1) as well as contraindications for blood and organ donation after valoctocogene roxaparvovec
