Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy

Tests treatment safety and results for Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy

Official title A Study to Evaluate the Safety of AB-1003 (Previously LION-101) in Subjects With Genetic Confirmation of LGMD2I/R9 (Part1)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05230459

What this study is testing

What is AB-1003 dose level 1?

AB-1003 dose level 1 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for limb girdle muscular dystrophy.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intravenous infusion of AB-1003 in adults diagnosed with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9). Participants will be treated in sequential, dose-level cohorts.
