Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new gene therapy (GNT0006) for people with a rare genetic muscle disease called LGMDR9. The study involves 6 participants who receive a single intravenous dose to deliver a working copy of the FKRP gene. The main goal is to check the treatment's safety and tolerability over 5 years, not to cure the disease.
