Gene therapy breakthrough aims to control rare metabolic disease
NCT ID NCT06735755
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new gene therapy called BEAM-301 in 36 adults with glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa) who have a specific gene change. The goal is to see if a single dose can safely improve blood sugar control and reduce the need for cornstarch supplements. Participants will be monitored for side effects and changes in their condition over time.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Males or females age ≥18 years of age at the time of consent. 2. Diagnosis of GSDIa and homozygous or compound heterozygous for the G6PC1 c.247C\>T (p.R83C) variant (confirmed by genetic testing). 3. History of at least 1 episode of hypoglycemia \<60 mg/dL within the 2 years prior to signing the ICF. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Liver transplant recipient/on waiting list for liver transplant or known history of liver cirrhosis. 2. Presence of liver adenoma \>5 cm in size based on liver MRI or liver ultrasound performed at screening or within 6 months prior to screening. 3. Presence of liver adenoma \>3 cm and ≤5 cm with a documented annual growth rate of ≥0.5 cm per year. 4. Have aspartate transaminase or alanine transaminase \>upper limit of normal (ULN). 5. Total bilirubin levels \>ULN; if documented Gilbert's Syndrome, total bilirubin \>2 × ULN. 6. Previous treatment with any cell-, gene-, or viral vector-derived therapy Hospitalization for management of hypoglycemia within 4 weeks prior to signing the ICF. 7. Have triglycerides \>1000 mg/dL or a history of pancreatitis or a history of acute pancreatitis within 5 years that does not have a known and corrected etiology (eg, cholecystectomy for gallstone pancreatitis).
