About this trial
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GC301 adeno-associated virus vector expressing codon-optimized human acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) as potential gene therapy for Pompe disease. Patients diagnosed with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) who are ≥ 6 years old will be studied.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 6 years, males or females;
Patient has a diagnosis of LOPD;
Patient has upright FVC ≥ 30% of predicted normal value;
A 6MWT ≥ 40 meters, assistive device allowed;
Disqualifiers
Patient who has any history or concurrent clinical organic disease, including cardiovascular and liver diseases, respiratory system, nervous system disease, or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the subject unsuitable for participation in the study.
Patient who requires invasive mechanical ventilation, or rely on noninvasive non-non-invasive assisted ventilation when sitting upright;
Patient who is positive for human immunodeficiency (HIV) antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, or treponema pallidum antibody;
Patient with a history of glucocorticoid allergy;

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate based on protocol-specific adverse events (Phase 1)
Percent Predicted Upright Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)(Phase 2)
Change from baseline in percentage of predicted FVC measured by pulmonary function testing
Secondary outcomes
6-Minute Walk Test
Change from baseline in the distance walked in the 6 minute walk test (6MWT), which is a standardized assessment of how far an individual can walk on a hard, flat surface in a period of 6 minutes
Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP)
Change from baseline in MIP measured by pulmonary function testing
Maximum Expiratory Pressure (MEP)
Change from baseline in MEP measured by pulmonary function testing
Muscle Status Testing - Quick Motor Function Test (QMFT) Measure
Measurement of functional motor abilities using the Quick Motor Function Test (QMFT) will be performed and the results compared with baseline.
Other outcomes
GAA enzymatic activity
Change from baseline in GAA enzymatic activity in muscle biopsies
GAA enzymatic activity
Change from baseline in GAA enzymatic activity in blood
Glycogen content in muscle
Change from baseline in glycogen content in muscle biopsies
