No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This Phase 1/2a, open-label, non-randomized study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intramuscular AAV9-Follistatin gene therapy administered either as monotherapy or in combination with a VEGF-encoding plasmid. Secondary objectives include the assessment of preliminary signals of biological and functional activity, including changes in skeletal muscle mass and performance.

Conditions

  • Age-related Muscle Decline

Interventions

GENETIC

AAV9-Follistatin gene therapy

One-time intramuscular administration of an adeno-associated virus, serotype 9, (AAV9) vector encoding human follistatin.

GENETIC

VEGF Plasmid

Intramuscular supercoiled plasmid DNA gene therapy encoding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
