Summary

This trial tests AT132, a gene therapy, in children under 5 with a rare muscle disease. The therapy aims to deliver a healthy gene to improve muscle function. Participants will receive one dose and be monitored for safety and effectiveness over several years. AT132 has been used in previous gene therapy trials for muscle diseases.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for boys under 5 with X-Linked Myotubular Myopathy (XLMTM) confirmed by a specific gene mutation. They must need breathing support, weigh over 4.8 kg in France, and have no recent surgeries or infections. Those with heart issues, anemia, liver disease, or certain medication use are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests AT132's safety and effectiveness in treating XLMTM. Participants receive one dose of AT132 and are monitored for ten years. It's multinational with ascending doses compared to delayed treatment controls.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified but may include reactions related to gene therapy such as immune responses, site inflammation, or complications from the delivery method used.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Lower DoseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
1.0 x 10^14 vg/kg of AT132 defined with the use of 1st generation vg titer assay delivered intravenously one time. 1.3 x10^14 vg/kg of AT132 defined with the use of 2nd generation vg titer assay delivered intravenously one time.
Group II: Higher DoseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
3.0 x 10^14 vg/kg of AT132 defined with the use of 1st generation vg titer assay delivered intravenously one time. 3.5 x 10^14 vg/kg of AT132 defined with the use of 2nd generation vg titer assay delivered intravenously one time
Group III: Delayed-Treatment ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Delayed-Treatment Control subjects will generally have the same assessments as treated subjects. After the follow up period, eligible delayed-treatment control subjects will be dosed with AT132 and initiate the same post-dose procedures as subjects who received AT132.
