Experimental gene therapy for rare muscle disease shows early promise but study halted

NCT ID NCT03652259

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

Summary

This study tested a gene therapy called SRP-9003 for people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2E (LGMD2E), a rare genetic disease that causes muscle weakness. The treatment aimed to deliver a working gene to muscle cells to help them produce a missing protein. Only 6 people took part before the study was stopped early. The main goal was to check safety and see if the therapy could increase the protein levels in muscles.
