Substrate reduction therapy

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,…

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.

A new type of substrate reduction therapy composed of antisense oligonucleotides, or ASOs, effectively reduces glycogen accumulation in the skeletal muscles, or those attached to bones, of a Pompe disease mouse model, a study found. When combined with standard enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), which showed limited…

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,”…

The first healthy volunteer has been enrolled in a Phase 1 study testing ABX1100 — a novel substrate reduction therapy from Aro Biotherapeutics — as a treatment for Pompe disease. This will be the first-in-human trial for the experimental therapy, meaning it’s the first time ABX1100 has been…

Single and multiple ascending doses of MZE001, Maze Therapeutics‘ experimental oral substrate reduction treatment for Pompe disease, were well tolerated and reduced glycogen levels in healthy volunteers in a Phase 1 trial, data show. These findings support a Phase 2 trial of MZE001 in people with Pompe disease,…

MZE001, an experimental oral substrate reduction treatment for Pompe disease, was well-tolerated in both single and multiple doses in a study conducted in healthy volunteers, according to Maze Therapeutics, the therapy’s developer. Based on the trial’s findings, Maze is planning to launch a new study in 2023 to…

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Rare Pediatric Disease designation to Aro Biotherapeutics’ ABX1100, an investigational substrate reduction therapy for Pompe disease. This designation is awarded to experimental therapies for rare pediatric disorders with serious or life-threatening manifestations that primarily affect young people from birth…

ABX1100, an experimental substrate reduction therapy that Aro Biotherapeutics is developing for Pompe disease, has been granted an orphan drug designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA gives this designation to investigational treatments designed to improve care for rare diseases affecting fewer than…

Pompe disease is a rare inherited disease characterized by the abnormal buildup of a type of sugar called glycogen within the cells and tissues of the body. Glycogen accumulation occurs due to mutations in the GAA gene that provides instructions for making an enzyme called alpha-glucosidase…
