- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Treatment-Emergent AEs (TEAEs) Serious TEAEs, Discontinuations Due to TEAEs, and Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) [ Time Frame: AEs Prior to Dosing: From signing the informed consent form (ICF) to first dose of study drug. TEAEs: From first dose of study drug through the End of Study (EOS)/Early Withdrawal visit (up to Week 52) plus 30 days. ]An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, regardless of its causal relationship to study product. An SAE is defined as any event that: results in death; is immediately life threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or an important medical event, in the opinion of the investigator. The relationship to study drug was categorized as unrelated, possible, probable or definite. A DLT is defined as any AE/SAE ≥ Grade 3 that is considered by the Investigator and/or Sponsor to be related to DTX401, based on the Nation Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5.0 or later version. Per protocol, SAEs that occurred > 30 days after EOS or Early withdrawal visit, did not need to be reported unless Investigator considered them related to study product.
- Change From Baseline in Time to First Hypoglycemic Event Over Time [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 52 ]The change from baseline in time (in hours) to first hypoglycemic event (defined as glucose < 54 mg/dL [< 3.0 mmol/L]) during a controlled fasting challenge at 12, 24, and 52 weeks after IV administration of DTX401. A positive change from baseline is favorable.
