Study summary

This is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single intravenous infusion of AB-1009 in adult participants with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD).

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label study, up to 12 participants will receive a single IV infusion of AB-1009. Participants will be assigned to either cohort 1 (1.0E13 vg/kg) or Cohort 2 (1.5E13 vg/kg) based on enrollment in the study.

Study duration will include a screening period of up to 75 days, primary observation of 52 weeks, and a long-term follow-up period of 4 years.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Participant must be ≥18 to ≤65 years of age at the time of signing the form.
  2. Confirmed GAA enzyme deficiency from any tissue source and/or confirmed biallelic GAA gene mutations.
  3. Undergone enzyme replacement treatment (ERT) (either alglucosidase alfa (Lumizyme®), avalglucosidase alfa-ngpt (Nexviazyme®)), or cipaglucosidase alfa (Pombiliti®) for at least 6 months (at least 10 infusions) before signing the initial informed consent form. During the screening process, participants need to remain on their current ERT until close to dosing;
  4. FVC in the upright position ≥30% and ≤80% of predicted;
  5. Capable of walking at least 100 meters in the 6MWT (use of a cane, quad cane, or standard walker is permitted);

  7. Capable of giving informed consent.
  8. Able to understand and comply with all study procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  6. Have received gene therapy prior to screening;
  7. Have received any systemic (except inhalation or topical use) other than 30 days prior to screening through completion of screening through completion of screening, and/or known intolerance to immunosuppressants such as glucocorticoids; other concomitant immunosuppression would require sponsor approval.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(14)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

  11. Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) at Week 24 and Week 52

    Score range: 1-7; lower scores indicate greater improvement and a better outcome

  12. Change from baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) for physical function changes at Week 24 and Week 52

    PROMIS Short Form v2.0- Physical Function 20a consists of 20 questions that are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. The total score (i.e. sum) ranges between 20 and 100, with a higher score indicating better physical functioning.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 24, and Week 52

  13. Change from baseline in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) for fatigue changes at Week 24 and Week 52

    PROMIS Short Form v1.0- Fatigue 8a consists of eight questions, scored on a scale of 1 to 5. The total score (i.e. sum) ranges between 8 and 40, with lower scores indicating less fatigue.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 24, and Week 52

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
