Gene therapy breakthrough offers hope for rare heart disease
NCT ID NCT06092034
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a gene therapy called RP-A501 in 14 males with Danon disease, a rare genetic condition that causes heart problems. The treatment uses a harmless virus to deliver a working copy of the LAMP2 gene, aiming to improve heart muscle function and reduce thickening. Participants will be monitored for safety and effectiveness over time.
