First-in-Human gene therapy trial targets fatal heart damage in rare disease

NCT ID NCT05302271

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety of a new gene therapy for the serious heart muscle damage that occurs in people with Friedreich's ataxia. The therapy, called AAVrh.10hFXN, is given through an IV and aims to deliver a working copy of the frataxin gene directly to the heart. Researchers will enroll 25 adults with the condition to find a safe dose and look for early signs that it might help control the heart disease.
