Lysosomal lipid storage disorder

This trial tests a gene therapy for metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare inherited disease that damages the nervous system. Researchers take a patient's own blood stem cells, add a corrected gene, and infuse them back. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can slo…

This clinical trial tests a new type of immunotherapy called 4SCAR-T, which uses a patient's own immune cells engineered to recognize and attack three different markers (GD2, PSMA, and CD276) on neuroblastoma cancer cells. The study enrolls children and adults (ages 1 to 65) with…

This trial tests a gene therapy for metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare and life-threatening genetic disorder that damages the nervous system. The treatment uses a lentivirus to deliver a working copy of the ARSA gene directly into the spinal fluid and bloodstream. Up to 1…

This early-stage trial tests giving a gene therapy to unborn babies diagnosed with GM1 gangliosidosis, a severe genetic disorder that damages the brain and body. The therapy uses a harmless virus to deliver a working copy of the missing enzyme gene. The main goal is to see if the…

This trial tests whether the drug lucerastat can reduce the buildup of a fatty substance called Gb3 in the kidneys of adult men with Fabry disease who have not received prior treatment. Participants will take lucerastat daily for 18 months and undergo kidney biopsies to measure c…

This phase 2 trial is testing an oral drug called PLX-200 (gemfibrozil) in children aged 2 to 15 with certain lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), including CLN2, CLN3, Sandhoff disease, and Krabbe disease. The study aims to see if the drug is safe, tolerable, and may slow the pro…

This study tests an experimental drug called nizubaglustat (AZ-3102) in people aged 4 to 30 with Gaucher disease type 3, a rare genetic condition that can cause anemia, low platelets, an enlarged spleen, and neurological problems. Participants take the drug daily as a dissolvable…

This study tests whether a cream containing simvastatin (a cholesterol-lowering drug) can safely shrink yellow cholesterol deposits on the eyelids, called xanthelasma. Thirty adults will apply either the active cream or a placebo nightly for 24 weeks, then everyone gets the activ…

This study tests whether adding hyaluronic acid gel to standard deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) improves gum healing in people with both diabetes and advanced gum disease. Twenty-three participants will receive the standard cleaning on all teeth, and then two gum pockets…

This early-stage trial tests a new gene therapy called VGN-R08b for children with type III Gaucher disease, a rare genetic disorder affecting the brain and body. The treatment is given as a single injection into the brain's fluid spaces. The study will monitor safety and measure …

This early-phase trial tests a gene therapy for children with CLN6 Batten disease, a rare and fatal brain disorder. Twelve children will receive a single injection of the therapy into the fluid around the spinal cord. Researchers will check if it is safe and if it can slow the di…

This study tests a new gene therapy for GM2 gangliosidosis, which includes Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases. Researchers will take blood cells from 6 patients, fix the genetic defect in the lab, and then see if these cells can help brain cells work better. The goal is to show the …

This survey will ask about 60 people—patients with Gaucher disease, their caregivers, and home infusion nurses—how well they understand and use educational materials for at-home VPRIV infusions. The materials include an infusion diary, a guide, and an emergency plan. The goal is …

This study will survey 200 adults with Fabry disease to understand how men and women experience different paths to diagnosis. Researchers want to see if symptoms or family screening lead to diagnosis more often in one sex, and how long diagnosis takes. The goal is to identify pat…

This study will test a special PET scan tracer and blood tests to better understand and predict heart damage in people with Fabry disease. Researchers will look at heart tissue samples and blood markers from 20 adult patients. The goal is to find new ways to diagnose and forecast…

This study will look at 35 children with joint problems that are not caused by inflammation, such as stiffness or deformity. Researchers will use exams, lab tests, and imaging to find the true cause, which could be rare genetic conditions like mucopolysaccharidoses or osteogenesi…
