What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers test GCB-001, a gene therapy given as a single injection into the spinal fluid, in children aged 2 to 12 with type 2 spinal muscular atrophy who can sit alone but cannot walk. The trial checks safety and whether the treatment improves motor skills over 12 months. It is a small, early-stage study with 6 participants.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
GCB-001, an experimental gene therapy that delivers a working copy of the SMN gene
What this could lead to
If it works, a single spinal injection could help children with type 2 SMA gain or keep motor function without lifelong treatment.
What could go wrong
The trial is very small, with only 6 children, and it is an early-stage safety study. Gene therapy can trigger immune reactions, and it may not improve movement or may wear off.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 6 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 2 years and ≤ 12 years, gender not limited; 2. Meet the clinical diagnostic criteria for type 2 SMA, have an onset age form 6 months to 18 months, are diagnosed with SMN1 double allele pathogenic mutation, have 2-4 copies of SMN2 gene, and meet the clinical diagnostic criteria for SMA 5qSMA; 3. Capable of sitting alone but has never acquired the ability to walk independently (according to HFMSE standards, sitting alone: able to maintain a sitting position without hand support and count to 3 or more; walking independently: able to walk 4 or more steps without assistance); 4. The guardians of the subjects are able to understand and willing to comply with the requirements and procedures of protocol, voluntarily participate and sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Researchers believe that gene replacement therapy may cause unnecessary risk of concomitant diseases, such as serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, digestive tract diseases, liver and kidney dysfunction diseases, diabetes, known epilepsy, convulsions, convulsions or family history of psychosis; 2. Subjects who have participated in AAV gene therapy or have participated in or are currently participating in clinical trials of other SMA drugs; 3. Received treatment with Nordenafil Sodium Injection within 4 months prior to administration; 4. Received treatment with risperidone within 15 days prior to administration; 5. Subjects who have been treated with β 2 receptor agonists within 30 days prior to treatment (excluding inhaled salbutamol); 6. Subjects with allergic constitution, including those who are allergic or hypersensitive to prednisolone, other glucocorticoids or their excipients, and allergic to local anesthetics; 7. During the screening period, non-invasive ventilation support should be used for at least 12 hours per day; 8. The serum Anti-AAV9 neutralizing antibody titer is greater than 1:200.
