Eligibility

Pregnancy Exclusion
Female study participants must not be breastfeeding, must have a negative pregnancy test at screening (females ≥10 years old), and have no intention to become pregnant during the course of the study. Female study participants who are of childbearing potential (ie, following menarche until ≥1 year postmenopausal if not anatomically and physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant) must agree and commit to the use of highly effective methods of birth control for the duration of the study and for 30 days after the end of the study. Acceptable methods are defined as those that result, alone or in combination, in a low failure rate (ie, <1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as surgical sterilization, an intrauterine device, or hormonal contraception in combination with a barrier method. In certain countries (if permitted by law), women of childbearing potential may instead agree to abide by heterosexual sexual abstinence during the study and for 30 days after the end of the study.
Vulnerable Population
Children/minors are included. Consent must be signed by parent(s) or a legally authorized representative (LAR) and assent obtained from the participant when applicable. Assent documents are provided for ages 7-11 and 12-17 (Spanish-language assent forms listed); an adult informed consent form is available for participants of age of majority.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Signed informed consent by the parent(s) or legally authorized representative (LAR) and/or assent by the study participant (when applicable).\n- Confirmed genetic mutation(s) in the TK2 gene.\n- Absence of other genetic disease or polygenic disease.\n- Current treatment with nucleos(t)ides for TK2 deficiency. Study participants who were not previously enrolled in MT-1621-101 will require Sponsor approval to ensure that collection of clinical and functional measurements prior to treatment are sufficient for evaluating safety and efficacy.\n- Female study participants must not be breastfeeding, must have a negative pregnancy test at screening (females ≥10 years old), and have no intention to become pregnant during the course of the study. Female study participants who are of childbearing potential (ie, following menarche until ≥1 year postmenopausal if not anatomically and physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant) must agree and commit to the use of highly effective methods of birth control for the duration of the study and for 30 days after the end of the study. Acceptable methods are defined as those that result, alone or in combination, in a low failure rate (ie, <1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as surgical sterilization, an intrauterine device, or hormonal contraception in combination with a barrier method. In certain countries (if permitted by law), women of childbearing potential may instead agree to abide by heterosexual sexual abstinence during the study and for 30 days after the end of the study.\n- Male study participants with sexual partners should use condoms for the duration of the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug to prevent passing study drug to the partner in the ejaculate. Male participants should be advised not to donate sperm for 30 days after the last dose of study drug.\n- Willingness to maintain current treatment regimen and current exercise regimen for the duration of the clinical study.\n- Willingness to comply with the study protocol, including but not limited to, all study procedures, study visits, and study drug compliance."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- History of liver disease, or liver function test results (ALT, AST, or total bilirubin) ≥2× upper limit of normal without prior Sponsor approval.\n- Other significant medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Study Sponsor, may confound interpretation of the clinical course of TK2 deficiency."}

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)\n- Incidence of TEAEs leading to study drug withdrawal","definition_or_measurement_approach":""}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Response score\n- Mean minimum plasma concentration (Cmin) of deoxycytidine (dC) and deoxythymidine (dT) at steady state\n- Mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of dC and dT at steady state\n- Mean area under the plasma concentration - time curve from time 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) of dC and dT at steady state","definition_or_measurement_approach":"CGI-I: Clinical global impression scoring. PK endpoints (Cmin, Cmax, AUC0-24): plasma concentration measurements at steady state; PK to be evaluated using sparse sampling methodology as stated in protocol."}
