A Study to Evaluate Administration of SBT101 Gene Therapy in Adult Patients With Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN)

This is a Phase 1/2 randomized, blinded, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intrathecal (IT) administration of SBT101, a recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) containing a functional copy of the human adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter subfamily D member 1 (ABCD1; hABCD1) gene, in adult patients with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) aged 18-65 years. Patients will receive a single dose of SBT101 via IT route (or an imitation procedure) and will be followed for safety and efficacy for 2 years. Patients receiving SBT101 will be followed for an additional 3 years (5 total) for Safety. Patients receiving an imitation procedure will be offered the opportunity to receive SBT101 after 2 years, as data indicate.

The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project

The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies, develop biomarkers for use in future clinical trials, and better understand the natural history of these disorders. The knowledge gained from these efforts may help improve the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to patients in the future.
