Gene therapy for ear tumors: Long-Term safety under review
NCT ID NCT07503613
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 100 people with vestibular schwannoma (a non-cancerous ear tumor) who previously received a gene therapy called AAVAnc80-antiVEGF. Researchers will monitor for late side effects and measure tumor size changes over time using MRI scans. The goal is to understand the long-term safety and whether the therapy keeps working.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AAVAnc80-antiVEGF gene therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a single gene therapy injection safely controls tumor growth and reduces the need for repeated treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational follow-up study, not a new treatment test. It may reveal long-term risks like new tumors or immune problems, and results may not apply to everyone.
