A phase I/II clinical study to evaluate the tolerance, safety and efficacy of VGN-R08b intracerebroventricular injection in patients with type III Gaucher's disease
This is an open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial, consisting of dose escalation and dose expansion. A total of 12 subjects are expected to be enrolled. Dose escalation: Initially, three doses of 6×10\^10 vg/g, 1.2×10\^11 vg/g, and 1.8×10\^11 vg/g (per unit brain weight) are planned to be explored . Three subjects will be enrolled in each dose group. The second and third subjects in the same dose group must be confirmed to be safe and tolerable after at least a 4-week safety assessment of the first subject before receiving the drug. For the high-dose group (1.8×10\^11 vg/g), subjects will be enrolled one by one. Dose expansion: After the dose escalation is completed, the SRC will comprehensively evaluate the data on efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity, etc., to select the optimal effective dose and expand the enrollment by 3 cases.
