Introduction to a Pivotal Gene Therapy Study
On October 30, 2023, a significant clinical trial commenced, focusing on LY-M001, a gene therapy drug for Gaucher Disease Type I. This trial is particularly noteworthy for its involvement of PackGene as the CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) service provider, ensuring stringent quality and regulatory compliance in the drug’s production.
Study Details
The LY-M001 clinical trial is a prospective, single-center, open-label, single-arm interventional study. Its purpose is to evaluate the safety, initial efficacy, pharmacodynamic characteristics, immunogenicity, biodistribution, and viral shedding of a single intravenous infusion of LY-M001. PackGene’s role as the CMC service provider underscores the trial’s commitment to high-quality standards in gene therapy research.
Phases of the Study
The study is structured into several distinct phases:
- Screening Period (Weeks -8 to Days -2): Pre-eligibility assessment.
Baseline Period (Day -1): Establishment of health benchmarks before treatment. - Treatment and Safety Observation Period (Days 0 to 28): Administration of LY-M001 and monitoring for safety and immediate effects.
- Short-Term Follow-Up Period (Weeks 5 to 38): Assessment of the treatment’s short-term impact.
- Participants are required to complete all assessments for the End of Study (EOS) visit, regardless of whether they complete the study or withdraw early.
- The initial dose group is set at 5.0 × 10^12 vg/kg, following a sentinel method for participant enrollment and observation.
Long-Term Follow-Up Study
This study also includes a long-term follow-up phase lasting a total of 5 years, essential for understanding the prolonged effects and safety of LY-M001.
