Arimoclomol Early Access Program for Niemann-Pick Disease

This study will provide early access to an investigational drug which does not yet have marketing authorization for human use, Arimoclomol, for a group of patients suffering from Niemann-Pick Disease Type C that are not eligible for or able to participate in other clinical trials.

Phase: Phase IV

Actively recruiting: Yes

GM1 Gangliosidosis Gene Therapy Study

The purpose of this study is to test and find a safe dose of this investigational gene therapy PBGM01 (also known as, the study drug) in children who have been diagnosed with the early infantile or late infantile form of GM1. The study will also try to determine how PBGM01 might affect the GM1 disease course over time. The study drug is investigational, which means it has not been approved for marketing by the FDA. This study is the first time PBGM01 will be given to humans, so we do not know for sure if participants will benefit from this study.

Long-term Follow-up of RGX-121 in Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II) Patients

This study will follow Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II) patients after enrolling and receiving study drug RGX 121 in the parent study RGX 121-101. The purpose of this study is to determine drug safety and efficacy of RGX 121. No study drug is being given in this study.

If you agree to take part, your participation will last for up to 3 years after having completed participation in the parent studies. It will include up to 7 visits: up to 4 on-site study visits and 3 check-ins (e.g., over the phone or by internet). The impact of RGX-121 on biomarkers in patients' cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood plasma, and urine will also be evaluated in the long-term.

Phase: N/A

Lysosomal Storage Disease Registry

This research study is called the Lysosomal Storage Disease Registries. A registry is a database that gathers information about people and their medical treatment. This observational registry is supported by Genzyme Corporation. The goal is to collect information on people with Gaucher, Fabry, MPS I, or Pompe disease. The information might be used for many different research studies about Lysosomal Storage Diseases. It is hoped that healthcare professionals can use this information to better understand these diseases. We expect these registries will continue for a number of years.

mRNA-3705 MMA Study

The purpose of this study is to find out more about mRNA-3705, a study drug that is being tested and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this study you will receive mRNA-3705, which is being developed to treat people with isolated MMA with MUT deficiency mRNA-3705. mRNA-3705 can only be used in a study like this one. We want to see what dose of the study drug is safe, how the study drug affects the function of cells, and how much study drug is in the blood after patients receive it.

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

mRNA-3927 for Propionic Acidemia Study

The purpose of this study is to find out more about an investigational drug called mRNA-3927 (the study drug). An "investigational drug" is a drug that is being tested and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We want to see how safe the study drug is and if it works for participants with propionic acidemia (PA).

Phase: Phase I, Phase II

Actively recruiting: Yes

Registry of Patients with Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency

This is an observational registry study intended to document the course of Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency (LALD), in order to further understand the disease, its progression, which treatments are effective, and any related complications. As an observational study, no additional study visits - outside of subjects usual Metabolism clinic visit - are required. Eligible patients will be asked to sign an informed consent form prior to enrollment and will periodically have the option of completing questionnaires about their quality of life.

Phase: N/A

RGX-121 Gene Therapy in Patients With MPS II (Hunter Syndrome)

The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and tolerability of RBX-121, a one-time gene therapy, in subjects with MPS II (Hunter Syndrome). You may be eligible for this study if you are a male between the ages of 4 months to 5 years old. Reimbursement for travel and research procedures will be provided. This study involves blood draws, interviews, urine collection, genetic testing, general anesthesia, lumbar punctures, MRI, gene therapy, lumbar puncture, ultrasound, ECG/echocardiogram and physical and neurological examinations. If you have questions or would like to learn more about the study, please contact the study team at MetabolismResearch@email.chop.edu.
