Gene Therapy Trial for CLN6 Batten Disease

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a gene therapy called scAAV9.CB.CLN6 can treat children with CLN6 Batten disease (variant late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis). The main questions it aims to answer are if he gene therapy safe and well tolerated, and if the gene therapy help slow disease progression or improve symptoms. Participants will: Receive a single dose of the gene therapy through an injection into the fluid around the spinal cord (intrathecal administration) Have regular study visits over 2 years for safety checks and assessments of disease progression Be followed for an additional 3 years in a long-term follow-up study

Long-Term Follow Up of CLN6 Batten Disease Subjects Following Gene Transfer

This is a long-term safety and efficacy study in subjects with CLN6 Batten disease who previously received a single intrathecal administration of AT-GTX-501.

Natural History of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, Batten's CLN6 Diseae

CLN6 is a rare, neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive loss of acquired skills with motor delay, visual loss, seizures and ataxia. The investigators propose a natural history study of this rare disorder since it is currently unknown. It is important to understand disease progression in CLN6 disease to be able to judge therapeutic efficacy as emerging therapies like gene therapy become available.
