Evaluating BEAM-301 for treating Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia

Official title: A Phase 1/2, Dose-Exploration Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of BEAM-301 in Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia (GSDIa) Homozygous or Compound Heterozygous for the G6PC1 c.247C>T (p.R83C) Variant

Run by Beam Therapeutics Inc. · NCT06735755 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new treatment called BEAM-301 to see if it is safe and effective for adults with Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia who have a specific genetic variant.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of GSDIa and the specific genetic variant.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have undergone a liver transplant or have significant liver complications may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1/2 study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a single intravenous dose of BEAM-301 in adult patients diagnosed with Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia who carry a specific genetic variant. The study will involve multiple centers and will focus on patients who are homozygous or compound heterozygous for the G6PC1 c.247C>T (p.R83C) variant. The primary goal is to determine the optimal biological dose while monitoring for any adverse effects and therapeutic benefits.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve the management of Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia, potentially reducing the frequency of hypoglycemic episodes.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar studies targeting genetic variants in metabolic disorders have shown promise in the past.
