Study summary

This study is to continue Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients who were previously treated with AXO-AAV-GM2 Gene Therapy as treatment for Tay-Sachs or Sandhoff Disease to follow the subjects through 5 years after their initial gene therapy treatment.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be contacted bi-annually for a total of five years following the administration of AXO-AAV-GM2 for the collection of clinical information, especially pertaining to de novo cancer, neurologic, rheumatologic, and hematologic/immunologic disorders. This will be done to comply with FDA Recommendations and NIH Guidelines for long-term follow-up for research involving gene therapy with AAV Vectors.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Long term Safety of AXO-AAV-GM2

    Participants will be monitored for adverse events, including delayed adverse events, as a result of AXO-AAV-GM2 including de novo cancer, neurologic, rheumatologic, and hematologic/immunologic disorders.

    Time frame: Every 6 months, up to five years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Long term Impact of AXO-AAV-GM2

    Participants will be monitored for the impact of treatment with AXO-AAV-GM2 on the expected natural history of their condition in the domains of neurocognitive adaptive, developmental, neurological and motor function.

    Time frame: Every 6 months, up to five years
