A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of AB-1009 Gene Therapy (GAA Gene) in Adult Participants With Late Onset Pompe Disease (PROGRESS-GT LOPD)
What this study is about
This is a single-treatment group$1, where both patients and doctors know the treatment given, gradually increasing doses study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of a single given through a vein (IV) infusion of AB-1009 in adult participants with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD).
View original scientific description
This is a single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single intravenous infusion of AB-1009 in adult participants with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD).
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Participant must be ≥18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form.
- Confirmed GAA enzyme deficiency from any tissue source and/or confirmed biallelic GAA gene mutations.
- Undergone enzyme replacement treatment (ERT) (either alglucosidase alfa (Lumizyme®) or avalglucosidase alfa-ngpt (Nexviazyme®)), for at least 6 months (at least 10 infusions) before signing the initial informed consent form. During the screening process, participants need to remain on their current ERT until close to dosing;
- FVC in the upright position ≥30% and ≤80% of predicted;
- Capable of walking at least 100 meters in the 6MWT (use of a cane, quad cane, or standard walker is permitted);
- Contraceptive/barrier use by men and women requirements as per protocol.
- Capable of giving informed consent and able to understand and comply with all study procedures.
Exclusion criteria
- Severe cardiomyopathy, defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<40% or New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class 3 or above;
- Require invasive mechanical ventilation, or rely on noninvasive ventilation during the day;
- Intolerance to ERT or investigator-assessed intolerance to ERT, prior experience of serious ERT-related infusion-associated reactions (IARs);
- Have known intrinsic liver diseases, including hepatitis, HIV-related liver disease, prior diagnosis of portal hypertension, splenomegaly, hepatic encephalopathy, severe fatty liver, cirrhosis or liver fibrosis ≥stage 2, ultrasound-identified liver neoplasms, or laboratory tests suggesting elevated alpha-fetoprotein. Patients with liver function tests including ALT or AST \>3× upper limit of normal (ULN) or any total bilirubin above ULN during screening will also be excluded;
- Prior or ongoing medical condition(s), physical finding(s), assessment findings, or laboratory abnormality that, in the investigator's opinion, would impact participant's safety and compliance with the study procedures.
- Have received gene therapy prior to screening;
- Have received any systemic immunosuppressants (except inhalation or topical use) other than glucocorticoids or investigator-recommended immunosuppressants 30 days prior to screening through completion of screening, and/or known intolerance to immunosuppressants such as glucocorticoids;
- Use of investigational drugs or drugs that could affect this study as evaluated by the investigator within 30 days prior to screening through completion of Week 52 or within 5 half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever is longer);
- Have received any vaccine within 30 days prior to dosing;
- Other conditions that make the participant not eligible for the study according to the investigator.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
