A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of AB-1009 Gene Therapy (GAA Gene) in Adult Participants With Late Onset Pompe Disease (PROGRESS-GT LOPD)

This is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single intravenous infusion of AB-1009 in adult participants with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD).

A Study About Antibody Levels and Biomarkers in the Blood in People With Late-onset Pompe Disease

Pompe disease is a genetic condition which causes muscle weakness over time. People with Pompe disease have a faulty gene that makes an enzyme called acid alpha-glucosidase (or GAA). This enzyme breaks down a type of sugar called glycogen. Without this enzyme, there is a build-up of glycogen in the cells of the body. This causes muscle weakness and other symptoms. Pompe disease can happen at any age, but in late-onset Pompe disease, symptoms generally start from 12 months old onwards. The standard treatment for people with Pompe disease is to receive regular infusions of the GAA enzyme. This is known as enzyme replacement therapy. However, people can build up antibodies against the GAA enzyme over time. Gene therapy is used to treat conditions caused by a faulty gene. It works by replacing the faulty gene with a working gene inside the cells of the body. The working gene is delivered into the cells using certain viruses as carriers (vectors). Viruses are often used as carriers as they can easily get inside cells. The genetic material of the original virus is replaced with the working gene, so only the working gene gets inside the cells. A common virus used as a carrier in gene therapy is the adeno-associated virus (or AAV). This is like an adenovirus, which causes the common cold. The original type of AAV does not cause any harm to humans. However, people that have previously been infected with the original type of AAV may have built up antibodies against AAV. These antibodies may stop the AAV carrier with the working gene getting inside the cells. Researchers want to learn more about antibody levels against AAV and the GAA enzyme in people with late-onset Pompe disease. They also want to learn about other substances in the blood that provide more information about late-onset Pompe disease. These are known as biomarkers. In this study, older teenagers and adults with late-onset Pompe disease will take part. They will not have had gene therapy using AAV. There will be 2 groups - those who have never had enzyme replacement therapy, and those who have had enzyme replacement therapy for 6 months or more. No study treatment will be given during the study, but blood and urine samples will be taken for testing. The main aims of the study are to check antibody levels against AAV8 (a type of AAV) in people with late-onset Pompe disease who had not received any treatment using AAV, to check antibody levels against the GAA enzyme in people previously treated with GAA as part of enzyme replacement therapy, to check levels of biomarkers for Pompe disease, and to check for medical problems. In the study, people will visit the study clinic several times. Some visits may be in the person's home. The first visit is to check if they can take part. Those who can take part will have a medical examination, and have their vital signs checked. Vital signs include blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and temperature. Blood samples will be taken to check antibody levels against the GAA enzyme and against AAV8. Blood and urine samples will also be taken to check for biomarkers for Pompe disease. Blood and urine samples will be taken about every 4 months for up to 2 years.

Effects of Whole-body Electrical Muscle Stimulation Exercise on Adults With Neuromuscular Disease

This single-arm pilot study evaluates the effects of whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (WB-EMS) exercise on neuromuscular and physical function in adults with neuromuscular disease (NMD). Due to motor unit impairments, NMD patients often cannot tolerate traditional exercise. WB-EMS bypasses voluntary activation limits by directly stimulating muscle contractions. Up to 50 adults with conditions like ALS, SMA, and MG will undergo 20-minute supervised WB-EMS sessions (1-2 times weekly for 4-8 weeks) using the Katalyst system. Outcomes include neural excitability (TMS), motor unit behavior (EMG, NCS), functional tests (walk, balance, strength), and patient-reported fatigue, pain, and quality of life. Strict safety monitoring and exclusion criteria are in place. This study will provide preliminary data on WB-EMS as a potential exercise modality for NMD.

Gene Transfer Study in Patients With Late Onset Pompe Disease

This is a phase 1/2 open-label, ascending dose, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AT845 in adult (aged ≥ 18 years) subjects, ambulatory or nonambulatory, with Late Onset Pompe Disease (LOPD).

Pompe Pregnancy Sub-Registry

This Sub-registry is a multicenter, international, longitudinal, observational, and voluntary program designed to track pregnancy outcomes for any pregnant woman enrolled in the Pompe Registry, regardless of whether she is receiving disease-specific therapy (such as ERT with alglucosidase alfa or avalglucosidase alfa) and irrespective of the commercial product with which she may be treated. No experimental intervention is given; thus a patient will undergo clinical assessments and receive standard of care treatment as determined by the patient's physician. The primary objective of this Sub-registry is to track pregnancy outcomes, including complications and infant growth, in all women with Pompe disease during pregnancy, regardless of whether they receive disease-specific therapy, such as ERT with alglucosidase alfa or avalglucosidase alfa.

ZIP Study-OL Study of Safety, PK, Efficacy, PD, Immunogenicity of ATB200/AT2221 in Pediatrics Aged 0 to < 18 y.o. w/LOPD

This is a Phase 3, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, PK, efficacy, PD, and immunogenicity of Cipaglucosidase Alfa/Miglustat treatment in enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-experienced and ERT-naïve pediatric subjects with Pompe disease, aged 0 to \< 18 years

Developing a Management Approach for Patients With "Late-Onset" Pompe Disease

This is an observational study with no study related treatment of interventions. The purpose of the study is to investigate and document disease specific clinical symptoms in newborns, infants and children with Pompe disease without cardiomyopathy identified in newborn screening(NBS). There will be baseline, months 6 and months 12 visits for infants and newborns (infants study). For children of ages 24 months to 54 months, there will be baseline, year 1 and year 2 visits (children study). The study has four goals: 1. To study and record disease specific clinical symptoms in newborns, infants and children with Pompe disease without cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle) in the first year of life identified through newborn screening (NBS) 2. To devise an approach to characterize early musculoskeletal (muscles and joints) involvement in subjects with the "late-onset" GAA variant identified by NBS including ability to collect research information via virtual health platforms. 3. To determine criteria to start preventative therapies including enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in patients with clinical features of Pompe disease identified via NBS 4. To document parental coping and anxiety/emotional distress overtime using quality of life questionnaires after a child is diagnosed with late onset Pompe disease via NBS

Carbon-13 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Glycogen Storage Diseases

The project will use carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy to assess whether high glycogen levels in skeletal muscle of patients with Glycogen Storage Diseases is a prelude for muscle damage. Patients with Glycogen Storage Diseases will be examined using carbon-13 MR-spectroscopy to quantify the glycogen levels in lumbar, thigh and calf-muscles. The pattern of glycogen concentration will be compared to the pattern of muscle atrophy found in the literature.
