A Safety and Efficacy Study of LYS-GM101 Gene Therapy in Patients With GM1 Gangliosidosis
- Conditions
- GM1 Gangliosidosis
- Interventions
- Genetic: LYS-GM101
- Registration Number
- NCT04273269
- Lead Sponsor
- LYSOGENE
- Brief Summary
LYS-GM101 is a gene therapy for GM1 gangliosidosis intended to deliver a functional copy of the GLB1 gene to the central nervous system. This study will assess, in a 2-stage adaptive-design, the safety and efficacy of treatment in subjects with infantile GM1 gangliosidosis.
- Detailed Description
GM1 gangliosidosis is a fatal autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the GLB1 gene leading to accumulation of GM1 ganglioside in neurons and progressive neurodegeneration. There are three pediatric subtypes: early infantile, late infantile and juvenile. This is an interventional, multicenter, single-arm, 2-stage adaptive design study of LYS-GM101 for which the first stage (Stage 1) is for safety evaluation (FIH) and the second stage (Stage 2) will establish efficacy as compared to the natural history of the disease. The participants with infantile GM1 gangliosidosis will receive a single dose of LYS-GM101 by intracisternal injection. After a two-year evaluation period (main part of the study), each participant will be followed for an additional three-year long-term follow-up period.
