Clinical Trial Summary

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GC301 adeno-associated virus vector expressing codon-optimized human acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) as potential gene therapy for Pompe disease. Patients diagnosed with late-onset Pompe disease （LOPD） who are ≥ 6 years old will be studied.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	GAA enzymatic activity	Change from baseline in GAA enzymatic activity in muscle biopsies	52 weeks
Other	GAA enzymatic activity	Change from baseline in GAA enzymatic activity in blood	52 weeks
Other	Glycogen content in muscle	Change from baseline in glycogen content in muscle biopsies	52 weeks
Primary	Number of Participants With Adverse Events	Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability	52 weeks
Primary	Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate based on protocol-specific adverse events (Phase 1)		within 30 days after treatment
Primary	Percent Predicted Upright Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)(Phase 2)	Change from baseline in percentage of predicted FVC measured by pulmonary function testing	52 weeks
Secondary	6-Minute Walk Test	Change from baseline in the distance walked in the 6 minute walk test (6MWT), which is a standardized assessment of how far an individual can walk on a hard, flat surface in a period of 6 minutes	52 weeks
Secondary	Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP)	Change from baseline in MIP measured by pulmonary function testing	52 weeks
Secondary	Maximum Expiratory Pressure (MEP)	Change from baseline in MEP measured by pulmonary function testing	52 weeks
Secondary	Muscle Status Testing - Quick Motor Function Test (QMFT) Measure	Measurement of functional motor abilities using the Quick Motor Function Test (QMFT) will be performed and the results compared with baseline.	52 weeks
Secondary	Quality of life evaluation: 12-item short form health survey (SF-12) for LOPD participants	SF-12, a 12 item-questionnaire, used to assess health-related quality of life in participants aged >=18 years at screening/baseline. SF-12 consisted of 12 items, which were categorized into eight domains (subscales) of functioning and well-being: physical functioning, role-physical, role emotional, mental health, bodily pain, general health, vitality and social functioning, with each domain score ranged from 0 (poor health) to 100 (better health), higher scores indicated good health condition. These eight domains were further summarized into 2 summary scores, physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). The score range for each of these 2 summary scores was from 0 (poor health) to 100 (better health), higher scores indicated a better health-related quality of life.	52 weeks
Secondary	Time needed for non-invasive ventilatory support	Change from baseline in time duration that needed for non-invasive ventilatory support	52 weeks
Secondary	The viral load of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector	To assess the change of AAV vector copy numbers within 52 weeks after administration.	52 weeks
Secondary	Occurrence of immune response against AAV capsid annd GAA transgene		52 weeks
