Gene therapy for GM1 disease with IV delivery
This early-stage study tests an IV gene therapy that delivers a working copy of an enzyme gene to help the body make beta-galactosidase in GM1 gangliosidosis. It may help slow or improve disease symptoms and looks closely at safety and how well the treatment works.
