Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a one-time spinal injection of a gene therapy for children with rare, life-limiting neuromuscular diseases called SMARD1 and CMT2S. The goal is to deliver a working copy of a missing gene to slow or stop disease progression. The study will first check for safety and then see if the treatment can improve motor skills like walking or arm strength.
