Atamyo Therapeutics obtains authorisation to launch a gene therapy clinical trial in limb-girdle muscular dystrophy linked to SGCG

Following several proofs of concept, Atamyo Therapeutics, a spin-off from Geenethon, is to start a new gene therapy trial in patients suffering from limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) R5 linked to SGCG (gamma-sarcoglycanopathy). Its aim is to test the safety, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of ATA-200, a product resulting from the work of Isabelle Richard, a researcher at Genethon. Approved to take place in France (at I-Motion) and Italy, this new multicentre phase I/II trial will include :

  • six walking children aged between 6 and 12 with a clinically and genetically confirmed diagnosis of LGMD R5 ;
  • two cohorts, each receiving a single intravenous injection of ATA-200, the first at 1 x 1014 vg/Kg and the second at a dose three times higher;
  • an assessment of the effects of the product at six months;
  • follow-up of patients for four and a half years after the evaluation phase.

Recruitment is due to begin in May this year, with the first injections scheduled for the third quarter of 2024.
