We previously reported compassionate use of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector containing the human AADC gene (AAV2-hAADC) in four children with AADC deficiency (aged 4–6 years). In this study, we aimed to establish the efficacy and safety of this treatment. Methods We did an open-label, phase 1/2 trial at the National Taiwan University Hospital (Taipei, Taiwan). We included patients who had a definitive diagnosis and clinical symptoms of AADC deficiency (hypotonia, dystonia, and oculogyric crisis), who were older than 24 months or had skull bones suitable for stereotactic surgery, and who had an anti-AAV2 antibody titre lower than 1·0 optical density. All patients received bilateral intraputaminal injections of AAV2-hAADC (1·81 × 1011 vg in total) through stereotactic brain surgery. Primary efficacy outcomes were an increase in the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (second edition; PDMS-2) score of greater than 10 points and an increase in homovanillic acid (HVA) or 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid 12 months after gene therapy. We assessed patients at baseline and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after gene therapy, and every 6 months thereafter for one further year; all patients who received the treatment were included in the analysis. We assessed for surgical complications (cerebrospinal fluid leakage and intracerebral haemorrhage) at days 3–7 after AAV2 gene therapy, and we assessed adverse events during the follow-up evaluations for 12 months. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01395641. Findings Ten patients (median age 2·71 years, IQR 2·46–6·35) were enrolled from Oct 1, 2014, to Dec 2, 2015. All patients tolerated the surgeries and vector injections. One patient died from influenza B encephalitis during an endemic outbreak 10 months after treatment; therefore, 9 months of data were included in the analyses for this patient. All patients met the primary efficacy endpoint: 12 months after gene therapy, PDMS-2 scores were increased by a median of 62 points (IQR 39–93; p=0·005) and HVA concentrations by a median of 25 nmol/L (IQR 11–48; p=0·012); however, there was no significant change in 5-HIAA concentrations (median difference 0, IQR 0–5; p=0·20). In total, 101 adverse events were reported, with the most common being pyrexia (16 [16%] of 101 events) and orofacial dyskinesia (ten [10%]). 12 serious adverse events occurred in six patients, including one death (treatment-unrelated encephalitis due to influenza B infection), one life-threatening pyrexia, and ten events that led to hospital admission. Transient post-gene therapy dyskinesia occurred in all patients but was resolved with risperidone. Of 31 treatment-related adverse events, only one (patient 1) was severe in intensity, and none led to hospital admission or death. Interpretation Our findings suggest that intraputaminal injection of AAV2-hAADC is well tolerated and might improve motor development in children with AADC deficiency.
