A Multi-cohort Study of the Tolerance, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of GNR-055 in Healthy Volunteers

GNR-055 is intended for ERT in patient with Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), or Hunter syndrome. MPS II is a lysosomal storage disease with an X-linked recessive inheritance type, which is characterized by a decrease in the activity of the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S), caused by a mutation in the IDS gene. Enzyme deficiency leads to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in lysosomes, mainly fractions of heparan and dermatan sulfates. Because of the insufficient activity of iduronate sulfatase participating in the first stage of catabolism of GAG, they accumulate in lysosomes of almost all types of cells of various tissues and organs. The disease is manifested by growth retardation, damage of many organs and systems, severe deformations of bones and joints, gross facial features, pathology of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, damage to parenchymal organs (hepatosplenomegaly), and hearing impairment. A severe form of the disease occurs with the involvement of the nervous system in the pathological process, including mental retardation, behavior anomalies, and impaired motor function.

GNR 055 is a modified enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier and thus it is expected to prevent neurodegenerative consequences and the development of cognitive deficit in the future that will allow achieving a significant improvement in the life quality and expectancy of patients with MPS II

• A written informed consent to participate in the study in accordance with applicable laws in place and compliance with all the procedures and requirements/restrictions provided for by the study protocol;
• Consent to use adequate methods of contraception (double barrier method-male or female (for partners of male research volunteers), condom with spermicide, intrauterine device (IUD), diaphragm with spermicide, contraceptive sponge, cervical cap with spermicide).

Exclusion criteria

• Deviations from the normal values of the clinical, laboratory, and ECG examinations;
• If there are acute or chronic diseases of the cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary, nervous, immune, and endocrine systems, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and biliary tract, kidney and urinary tract, blood and lymphatic system, a history of mental illness;
• Positive results for hepatitis B or C markers, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and syphilis;
• Acute infectious diseases less than four weeks before the Screening Visit;
• Regular administration of medicinal products less than two weeks before the Screening Visit;
• Systolic blood pressure (SBP) below 100 mm Hg or above 140 mm Hg; diastolic blood pressure (DBP) below 70 mm Hg or above 90 mm Hg; HR below 60 bpm or above 80 bpm;

• Participation in human clinical studies of medicinal products less than three months before the Screening Visit;
• Consumption of more than 10 units of alcohol per week (1 unit of alcohol is equivalent to 0.5 L of beer, 200 mL of dry wine, or 50 mL of strong spirits) OR history of alcoholism;
• Alcohol exhale positive test;
• Drug addiction, toxic substance abuse, a positive urine analysis for potent and narcotic substances, including cocaine, cannabis, amphetamine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and opioids;
• Smoking more than 10 cigarettes per day;
• Other reasons that, in the opinion of the investigator, prevent a volunteer from participating in the study or cause an unreasonable risk.
