Can an oral pill ease breathing and muscle weakness in pompe disease?
NCT ID NCT07787650
First seen Aug 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing an experimental oral medication called S-606001 in adults with late-onset Pompe disease, a condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and breathing problems. The main goal is to see if the drug is safe and tolerable. Researchers will also look at whether it may help improve lung function and physical abilities, such as walking distance and muscle strength.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- S-606001, an experimental oral tablet
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new oral treatment option for late-onset Pompe disease, potentially improving breathing and muscle function.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug's safety and effectiveness are not yet established, and side effects are possible.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must be ≥40 kilograms of body weight at the time of signing the informed consent form * Participant must have a diagnosis of LOPD based on documentation of the following: deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) enzyme; GAA genotype * Participant has a %FVC ≥30% and ≤80% in an upright position without mechanical ventilation at screening or participant has \>80% FVC in upright position and ≥10% %FVC drop from upright position to supine position and %FVC ≥20% in a supine position * Participant performs the 6MWT at screening, as determined by the clinical evaluator, and meets all of the following criteria: screening values of 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) are ≥75 meters; screening values of 6MWD are ≤90% of the predicted value for healthy adults * Participant must not have received enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for at least 3 months prior to providing informed consent and enrollment and agrees not receive any type of ERT while participating in the study Key Exclusion Criteria: * Has a medical condition or any other extenuating circumstance that may, in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, pose an undue safety risk to the participant or may compromise his/her ability to comply with or adversely impact protocol requirements * Has active infections at screening * Malignancy within the past 5 years except for basal cell or squamous epithelial carcinomas of the skin that have been resected with no evidence of metastatic disease for 3 years * Current or chronic history of liver disease * Known biallelic loss of function mutations whether in the muscle glycogen synthase gene or in the glycogen phosphorylase muscle associated gene * Has received any investigational therapy or pharmacological treatment for Pompe disease, within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the therapy or treatment, whichever is longer, before day 1 or is anticipated to do so during the study * Has received gene therapy for Pompe disease within 2 years of screening or small interfering RNA therapy for Pompe disease within 6 months of screening * Participant, if female, is pregnant or breastfeeding at screening * Participant, whether male or female, is planning to conceive a child during the study Note: Other protocol-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
