Rare disease drug now available through expanded access
NCT ID NCT06590493
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This program provides access to two experimental drugs, doxecitine and doxribtimine, for people with thymine kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d), a rare genetic disorder that can cause severe muscle weakness and early death. It is for children and adults who have a confirmed TK2 gene mutation and are at risk of major disability or death. The goal is to offer treatment when no other options exist.

Inclusion Criteria: TK0113: * Pediatric and adult patients with a diagnosis of TK2d based on confirmed reportable variant(s) in the TK2 gene in countries where UCB has an affiliate/local safety officer Signs and symptoms compatible with TK2d disease * Risk of major disability or death resulting from TK2d * The patient must be willing to receive treatment with doxecitine and doxribtimine via this program, which includes signing an authorization form for sharing genetic test results, medical data and other related information with UCB, its third-party agents and health authorities * The patient/legal guardian or representative has given informed consent (and age-appropriate assent) to treatment prior to administering doxecitine and doxribtimine in a manner consistent with all national requirements. This also includes consent for the transmission of a copy of the anonymized data, such as serious adverse event (SAE) and pregnancy reports (in compliance with local regulatory authority requirements) to UCB third-party agents where allowable by local regulations and to the country regulatory authority as required. * The patient does not qualify for or is unable to participate in a UCB sponsored ongoing clinical trial evaluating doxecitine and doxribtimine. TK0115: * Diagnosis of TK2d based on confirmed reportable variant(s) in the TK2 gene * Age of TK2d symptom onset ≤ 12 years * The patient or care provider must be willing to receive treatment with doxecitine and doxribtimine via this program * Patient has consented to the contraception, pregnancy, and lactation requirements where relevant * The patient does not qualify for or is unable to participate in a UCB-sponsored clinical trial evaluating doxecitine and doxribtimine for the treatment of patients with TK2d Exclusion Criteria: TK0113: * Confirmed diagnosis of other genetic or polygenic disease likely to confound clinical presentation of TK2 deficiency * Patient has a hypersensitivity to any of the excipients in doxecitine and doxribtimine * Inability to tolerate oral or gastric tube administration of doxecitine and doxribtimine * History of liver disease, or liver function test results (alanine aminotransferase\[ALT\], aspartate transaminase \[AST\], or total bilirubin) ≥3× upper limit of normal at Screening without prior Sponsor approval * Patients with elevated transaminases (ALT, AST \> 3xupper limit of normal) without increase in bilirubin should be further evaluated to exclude other causes of liver injury and may be enrolled with UCB approval or may be rescreened * Renal insufficiency requiring dialysis * Discontinuation of prior nucleos(t)ide treatment for TK2d because of adverse event(s) * Any other concurrent inborn errors of metabolism * Severe end-organ hypo-perfusion syndrome secondary to cardiac failure resulting in lactic acidosis * Patient has a medical or any other extenuating condition or circumstance that may, in the opinion of the investigator, pose an undue safety risk to the patient or compromise his/her ability to comply with, or adversely impact, protocol requirements * Concurrent participation in another interventional trial or named patient program where investigational drug is received * Any other reason that UCB may determine that the patient is unsuitable for named patient / compassionate use of doxecitine and doxribtimine TK0115: * History of liver disease or liver function test results (alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\], aspartate transaminase \[AST\], or total bilirubin) ≥ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) at Baseline or bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN. Isolated bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin \< 35% * Patients with elevated transaminases (ALT and/or AST \> 3 × ULN) without increase in bilirubin should be further evaluated to exclude other causes of liver injury and may be enroled with UCB approval * Patient has a medical, mental, or any other extenuating condition or circumstance that may, in the opinion of the treating physician, pose an undue safety risk to the patient or compromise his/her ability to comply with, or adversely impact, protocol requirements * Renal insufficiency requiring dialysis * Discontinuation of prior nucleoside treatment for TK2d due to adverse event(s) (AEs) * Concurrent participation in another interventional trial or named patient program where investigational drug is received * Known hypersensitivity to doxecitine and doxribtimine or any excipients of the drug substance (silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate) * Inability to tolerate oral or enteral feeding tube administration of doxecitine and doxribtimine * Female patients will not be eligible to participate if they are pregnant, plan to become pregnant during the course of the program, or are breastfeeding
