PROPEL Trial Summary

This trial is evaluating a gene therapy to treat adrenomyeloneuropathy, a hereditary nervous system disorder. Patients will receive a single dose of the treatment or a fake treatment, and be closely monitored for safety and efficacy for 2 years.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), able to walk, diagnosed with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) confirmed by genetic testing and high VLCFA levels. Not eligible if they have unstable adrenal function, prior gene therapy, MRI or anesthesia contraindications, diabetes/high blood sugar, inflammatory brain disease history, or over 15 years since myeloneuropathy onset.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing SBT101 gene therapy for AMN via a one-time spinal injection compared to an imitation procedure. It's a blind study where patients are monitored for safety and effectiveness over two years; those on SBT101 continue follow-up for three more years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified but may include reactions related to the intrathecal route of administration such as headache or back pain, immune responses to the viral vector or inserted gene product, and typical risks associated with long-term monitoring like infection.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What criteria must be met to qualify for participation in this scientific experiment?

"This medical study requires 16 participants within the mandated age bracket of 18-65 who are diagnosed with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and have a concomitant proven mutation in the ABCD1 gene, based on confirmatory genetic testing which is further supported by elevated circulating VLCFA levels. Additionally, patients must demonstrate clinical evidence of spinal cord involvement but be able to ambulate independently."

Answered by AI

Are there still opportunities for individuals to become involved in this research?

"Clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this experiment is still recruiting participants, having first been advertised on June 30th 2022 and most recently updated the following month."

Answered by AI

What is the aggregate figure of individuals participating in this research?

"Yes, the most recent changes to clinicaltrials.gov suggest that this medical experiment has recommenced its search for test subjects. First posted on June 30th 2022 and last updated a month later, the study requires 16 participants from 1 location."

Answered by AI

Is this research study open to participants younger than 30 years of age?

"This trial is specifically for individuals aged 18-65. In addition, there are 8 clinical trials tailored to minors and 7 aimed at the elderly population."
