New pill could boost breathing in pompe disease – early trial underway
NCT ID NCT07123155
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental oral drug called S-606001 in 45 adults with late-onset Pompe disease. Participants take the drug or a placebo on top of their standard enzyme replacement therapy. The main goal is to see if the drug improves lung function and walking ability over 52 weeks, while also checking safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- S-606001 (an oral drug taken as a pill)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a new add-on treatment that improves breathing and muscle function for people with late-onset Pompe disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug is unproven and may cause side effects or fail to show benefit.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must be ≥18 years of age and ≥40 kilograms (kg) of body weight at the time of signing the informed consent. * Participant must have a diagnosis of LOPD based on documentation of 1 of the following: 1. Deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) enzyme 2. GAA genotype * Participant has a %FVC ≥30% and ≤80% in an upright position without mechanical ventilation at screening; or Participant has ≥10% %FVC drop from upright position to supine position and %FVC ≥20% in a supine position. * Participant performs the 6MWT at screening, as determined by the clinical evaluator, and meets all of the following criteria: 1. Screening values of 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) are ≥75 meters 2. Screening values of 6MWD are ≤90% of the predicted value for healthy adults * Participants must be ERT-experienced, defined as currently receiving ERT and having been receiving ERT for ≥24 months, with no regimen change in the last 6 months. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Has a medical condition or any other extenuating circumstance that may pose an undue safety risk to the participant or may compromise his/her ability to comply with or adversely impact protocol requirements. * Has active infections at screening. * Malignancy within the past 5 years except for basal cell or squamous epithelial carcinomas of the skin that have been resected with no evidence of metastatic disease for 3 years. * Current or chronic history of liver disease. * Known biallelic loss of function mutations whether in glycogenin gene (GYG) or in glycogen phosphorylase muscle associated gene(PYGM) . * Has received any investigational therapy or pharmacological treatment for Pompe disease, within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the therapy or treatment, whichever is longer, before day 1 or is anticipated to do so during the study. * Has received gene therapy or small interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA) therapy for Pompe disease. * Participant, if female, is pregnant or breastfeeding at screening. * Participant, whether male or female, is planning to conceive a child during the study.
