Avrobio‘s AVR-RD-03 Gene Therapy Effective in Pompe Mouse Model

AVR-RD-03, Avrobio‘s experimental blood stem cell gene therapy for classic infantile-onset Pompe disease, was found to be safe and effective in a mouse model of the disease. The findings, presented as a poster at the 2022 annual meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT)…

Stem Cell Gene Therapy Restores Glycogen Levels, Aids Movement in Mouse Study

Transplanting blood stem cells modified to carry the GAA gene raised glycogen levels almost to normal across a range of organs, including the brain, and improved locomotion in a mouse model of Pompe disease, a study reported. These findings suggest that blood stem cell gene therapy, in which a patient’s…
