ABSTRACT

Four patients with infantile-onset Pompe’s disease received a single intravenous injection of an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 vector carrying codon-optimized complementary DNA encoding human acid α-glucosidase (GAA) (dose, 1.2 × 1014 vector genomes per kilogram of body weight). One patient was withdrawn from the study and subsequently died. The other patients had improvement in cardiac outcomes and motor function over a 52-week observation period. Anti-GAA antibodies were not detected in any of the patients during the observation period. Respiratory tract infections were the most common adverse events.
