Gene therapy trial hopes to quiet seizures in kids with rare STXBP1 brain disease

NCT ID NCT06983158

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a single dose of CAP-002 gene therapy in 12 children (ages 1.5 to 8 years) with STXBP1 encephalopathy, a genetic condition that causes severe seizures and developmental delays. The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also watch for improvements in seizures and development over 2 years. Because this is a gene therapy that aims to correct the underlying genetic problem, it may reduce disease burden, but children may still need ongoing care.
