NCT ID NCT04532047

First seen Mar 26, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving enzyme replacement therapy to fetuses with certain lysosomal storage diseases (like MPS disorders, Gaucher, or Pompe) before birth is safe and possible. About 10 pregnant participants will receive the drug through the fetal umbilical vein. The goal is to see if this early treatment can reduce disease effects, but children will still need lifelong management after birth.
