Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals aged 6 years and older diagnosed with late-onset Pompe disease who have sufficient lung function and mobility.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe respiratory issues requiring invasive ventilation or those with concurrent serious health conditions may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of a gene therapy drug called GC301, which uses an adeno-associated virus vector to deliver a codon-optimized version of the human acid alpha-glucosidase gene. It targets patients diagnosed with late-onset Pompe disease who are at least 6 years old. The study will assess the drug's impact on patients' respiratory function and overall health. Participants must meet specific criteria, including certain levels of lung function and mobility.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this gene therapy could significantly improve the quality of life and health outcomes for patients with late-onset Pompe disease.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with gene therapy approaches for genetic disorders, suggesting potential for success in this area.
