What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• RP-A501

Trial Overview The study tests RP-A501 gene therapy in males with Danon Disease. It's an open-label Phase 1 trial using AAV9.LAMP2B to deliver the LAMP2 gene. The goal is to assess safety and toxicity of this treatment in affected individuals without randomizing participants into different groups.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: RP-A501 Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

RP-A501 is a gene therapy product consisting of a rAAV9 capsid containing the human LAMP2B transgene which will be administered as a single intravenous (IV) infusion. Subjects will receive one of three dose levels depending on the cohort.
