NCT ID NCT04737460

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study tests a one-time gene therapy injection into the spinal fluid of children aged 1-18 with CLN7 Batten disease, a rare and fatal genetic brain disorder. The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also measure changes in movement, thinking, and vision. Only 4 children are enrolled, so results will be very preliminary.
