A Clinical Study to Assess Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacodynamic Profile of GNT0004 in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Sponsor: Genethon
Summary
GNT0004 is a recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector gene therapy composed of an AAV8 serotype capsid containing a sequence-optimized gene for a human microdystrophin. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by dystrophin gene mutations leading to absence of functional dystrophin, a key protein that prevents muscle cell damage during physiological contractions. To address the underlying cause of the disease, GNT0004 delivers an optimized dystrophin gene that is capable to produce a shortened but functional dystrophin protein in target tissues (heart and skeletal muscles) in DMD subjects. It is expected to significantly delay or slow disease progression. GNT0004 will be given as a one-time intravenous (IV) infusion to help it reach muscles throughout the body.
