NCT ID NCT04998396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a gene therapy called BBP-812 in children up to 30 months old with Canavan disease, a rare genetic brain disorder. The treatment uses a harmless virus to deliver a working copy of the ASPA gene, aiming to reduce harmful brain chemicals and improve motor and thinking skills. The main goals are to check safety and measure changes in brain chemistry and development over a year.
