NCT ID NCT06528080

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a single intravenous dose of LY-M001 gene therapy in 9 children (ages 6 to 17) with type 1 Gaucher disease. The goal is to see if it is safe and can improve key symptoms like liver size and blood markers. Researchers will monitor participants for side effects and measure how well the therapy works over 52 weeks, with long-term follow-up.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

LY-M001 (gene therapy)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a one-time gene therapy that reduces or eliminates the need for regular enzyme replacement in children with Gaucher disease.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial (9 participants) focused on safety. Gene therapies can have unexpected side effects, and it is too soon to know if it will improve symptoms long-term.
