NCT ID NCT07603050

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 This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This early-stage trial tests a new gene therapy called VGN-R08b for children with type III Gaucher disease, a rare genetic disorder affecting the brain and body. The treatment is given as a single injection into the brain's fluid spaces. The study will monitor safety and measure changes in disease markers. Only 12 participants aged 2 to 17 will be enrolled.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The signing of the informed consent form should be completed when the subject is at least 2 years old but less than 18 years old. 2. The subject has a documented medical history of Gaucher disease confirmed by GCase enzyme activity testing, and has a double GBA1 gene mutation. 3. According to the investigator's assessment, the neurological signs and/or symptoms are consistent with type III Gaucher disease. 4. At the time of enrollment, the subject has horizontal eye movement disorders (including gaze paralysis, or delayed or absent saccades), but there is no severe motor dysfunction resulting in bedridden status. 5. The subject is currently receiving substrate reduction therapy (SRT) and/or high-dose ambroxol for Gaucher disease treatment. The subject is required to have been on stable treatment for at least 2 months before enrollment and the investigator determines that the treatment is ineffective for neurological symptoms, or is willing to discontinue the treatment at the time of enrollment (discontinuation 1 week before administration). 6. The subject is currently receiving and willing to continue stable peripheral treatment (including imiglucerase or other ERT, or SRT), and the peripheral symptoms of Gaucher disease are stable at the time of screening, that is, all of the following conditions are met: hemoglobin level ≥ 11.0 g/dL (female) or ≥ 12.0 g/dL (male), platelet count ≥ 100×109/L, spleen volume \< 10 times the normal value (MN), liver volume \< 1.5 MN, and no bone crisis or asymptomatic bone disease (such as bone necrosis and/or pathological fractures causing bone pain) within 3 months before screening. 7. (Applicable) Male and female subjects with reproductive potential must continue to use an effective contraceptive method (including abstinence) correctly from the screening period until at least 1 year after the start of treatment, and not donate sperm or eggs. 8. The subject (applicable) and their parents/guardians must understand the trial information, purpose and risks described in the informed consent form, and authorize the use of the subject's health information and provide an informed consent form with the signature and date of signing. 9. The subject (applicable) and their parents/guardians are willing to participate in the study as information providers, providing the subject's health status, cognition and physical ability (including providing information for rating scales). Exclusion Criteria: 1. There are other serious neurological disorders that may cause symptoms of Gaucher disease or interfere with the research objectives; 2. There are severe internal organ damages caused by Gaucher disease, which, after evaluation by the researchers, are considered to pose unacceptable risks to the subjects, or interfere with the subjects' research compliance, or interfere with the execution of the trial; 3. Long-term ventilation or long-term nasogastric feeding (long-term ventilation is defined as: requiring tracheotomy for respiratory assistance, or continuous 14 days or more of non-invasive respiratory assistance for ≥ 16 hours per day, excluding acute reversible diseases that require assisted ventilation and perioperative ventilation. Long-term nasogastric feeding refers to the use of a nasogastric tube for feeding due to severe loss of swallowing function); 4. There are severe immunodeficiencies or autoimmune diseases; 5. There is active infection (including viral infections such as HIV, HBV, HCV or syphilis); The following medication and treatment situations exist: 6. Currently using drugs, herbs, or over-the-counter medications that have strong inhibitory or inducing effects on CYP3A4 or P-gp; 7. Having received bone marrow or organ transplantation, or any gene or cell therapy; 8. Having undergone immunization (live vaccines) within 4 weeks; 9. Undergoing systemic immunosuppressive therapy or corticosteroid therapy other than that required by the protocol (local preparations for skin diseases can be used);
