Immunogenicity greater against AAV9 capsid than hSGSH transgene, proportional to dose
“Vector immunogenicity was greater against the AAV9 capsid versus the hSGSH transgene and was proportional to vector dose level.”
✓ VerifiedFDA summary basis for approval, p. 11Source ↗
Biodistribution & persistence
Highest in liver; lower in brain; no vector-related gross or histopathologic findings
“Vector BD in brain was less than that of liver (highest) across dosed groups.”

Modality-specific risk
AAV9 high-dose safety (liver/immunogenicity); DART/genotox/tumorigenicity addressed by weight-of-evidence
“To address these concerns, the Applicant used a weight-of-evidence approach”

Anti-drug antibodies: animals
Dose-proportional immune responses in mice, greater against AAV9 capsid than hSGSH transgene
“Vector immunogenicity was greater against the AAV9 capsid versus the hSGSH transgene and was proportional to vector dose level.”

Anti-drug antibodies: patients
All patients seroconverted to anti-AAV9 antibodies and all had increased serum anti-SGSH antibodies
“All patients seroconverted to anti-AAV9 antibody positive following administration of FAYUVI . All patients had an increase in anti-SGSH antibodies in serum following administration of FAYUVI .”
