ABX1100, an experimental substrate reduction therapy for late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD), was well tolerated and seemed to work as designed in an early clinical trial involving nine adults with LOPD, new data show. Developer Aro Biotherapeutics noted that, in addition to meeting the study’s primary endpoints, or goals,…
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared AskBio’s investigational new drug application for AB-1009, a potential one-time gene therapy being developed for late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD). The clearance enables the therapy to proceed to a Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT07282847)…
A Phase 1b clinical trial testing substrate reduction therapy ABX1100 in late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) has completed enrollment, developer Aro Biotherapeutics said. This part of the trial (NCT06109948) investigates the medication’s safety, tolerability, and pharmacological profile in adults with LOPD. ABX1100 is given by intravenous (into-the-vein) infusion.
Aro Biotherapeutics is seeking adults with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) to participate in a Phase 1b trial testing ABX1100, the company’s experimental substrate reduction treatment, at a site in Canada. “We anticipate dosing the first patient with Pompe disease in the Phase 1b study before the end of 2024,”…
Astellas Gene Therapies has obtained the rights to develop medication that could help reduce preexisting immune responses against the viral carrier used in ATA845, its investigational gene therapy for adults with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD). Called IdeXork, or Xork, the investigational medication was developed by Selecta Biosciences,…
A small study in the U.K. is evaluating a noninvasive MRI-based tool that could potentially detect late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) without the need for invasive muscle biopsies. This specialized muscle MRI also would monitor glycogen buildup — a hallmark of the condition — in muscles over time. The…
Treatment with the two-part investigational therapy AT-GAA improved walking ability and lung function for up to three years among adults with Pompe disease in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Barry Byrne, MD, PhD, from the University of Florida, presented the findings at the 2022 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference,…
The first healthy volunteers have been dosed in a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating MZE001, Maze Therapeutics’ experimental oral therapy for Pompe disease. “The initiation of this study is a significant milestone for both Maze and the Pompe community as we advance into the clinic with a potentially…
Maze Therapeutics has announced its plans to begin clinical testing of MZE001, its lead candidate therapy for Pompe disease, in the first half of this year. The California-based precision medicine company raised $190 million in financing — led by Matrix Capital Management — to support the development of…
