Who can take part

You may be able to join if

Be able to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (PHI) in accordance with national and local privacy regulations.
Are male or female ≥18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis (e.g., GAA genetic testing) of LOPD, or based on a documented deficiency of GAA enzyme activity.
Have received a marketed ERT for at least the previous 24 months and maintained a stable dose, frequency, and compliance for the past 6 months with no dose variation.
Have clinically moderate LOPD characteristics: a. Be able to walk ≥75 meters on the 6MWT (assistive devices permitted) but less than 500 meters assessed at 2 timepoints prior to initiating immunosuppression (Day ˗6 visit) with <10% variance between the assessments. If the variance is ≥10%, a third timepoint will be collected. b. Have a % predicted FVC ≥30% and ≤80% in the upright position.
Agree to use reliable contraception for a minimum of 6 months after administration of SPK-3006 or 12 weeks after the final immunomodulatory agent dose, whichever occurs later, and until after vector shedding is confirmed to be cleared from the semen. Female candidates of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to initiating immunosuppression (Day -6 visit) and on Day 0 prior to administration of SPK-3006.
Agree to refrain from blood, plasma, platelets, egg or sperm, and organ donation after receiving SPK-3006.

You likely can't join if

Have active hepatitis B and/or C; all candidates must be screened for active hepatitis B and C, regardless of prior known history. a. Screening for hepatitis B: i. A candidate who is currently undergoing antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B is not eligible. ii. All other candidates must have a single sample at Screening for each of the following tests: hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), total hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc), and a nucleic acid test for hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA (HBV-DNA viral assay). • A candidate is not eligible if either HBsAg is positive or HBV-DNA is positive/detectable. • A candidate is eligible if the anti-HBc is positive and both HBsAg and HBV-DNA are negative, as this would be consistent with a prior infection of hepatitis B. Anti-HBc must be obtained in all candidates to discriminate between acute infection and possible reactivation of hepatitis B during the study in candidates with no prior history of hepatitis B. b. Screening for hepatitis C: i. A candidate who is currently undergoing antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C is not eligible. ii. All other candidates, including those who have never been treated or who have completed antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C, must have a nucleic acid test for hepatitis C viral (HCV) RNA (HCVRNA single load assay) at screening. A candidate is not eligible if the HCV-RNA load assay is positive/detectable. • A candidate treated with anti-viral therapy for chronic hepatitis C who has completed anti-viral therapy at least 6 months prior to screening and has a negative HCV-RNA at screening is eligible. • A candidate with a documented or self-reported history of hepatitis C who has a single negative HCV-RNA at screening is eligible.
Received any prior vector or gene transfer agent.
Require concomitant use of medication during the sirolimus immunosuppression period that is contraindicated with sirolimus, such as a medication known to be a strong or moderate inducer or inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4).
Received live vaccines within 30 days prior to informed consent or plan to receive live vaccines within at least 52 weeks after receiving SPK-3006 infusion.
Used a systemic immunosuppressive agent (e.g., corticosteroids) within 30 days prior to informed consent and to Day 0 prior to SPK-3006 administration.
Have an active malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer).

They are not eligible for enrollment if they have either of the following: a. Serum albumin below the testing laboratory’s lower limit of normal (LLN). b. Liver fibrosis ≥stage 3.

FibroScan with a score >8.3 kPa units if the candidate has mild steatosis (Grade S1 - see Steatosis Grade table below) ii.
