Clinical trial of gene therapy for MPS VI - a severe lysosomal storage disorder (MEUSIX)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
"Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI, or Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome; OMIM #253200) is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by deficient activity of arylsulfatase B (ARSB). MPS VI is characterized by growth retardation, corneal clouding, cardiac valve disease, organomegaly, skeletal dysplasia, without central nervous system involvement. Thus, systemic therapies targeting peripheral organs have the pot ...

Transposon-based, targeted ex vivo gene therapy to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (TARGETAMD)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a neurodegenerative disease of the retina, is a major cause of blindness in elderly people. Due to the aging population, AMD has been referred to as a “time bomb” in society. In the exudative form of AMD, high levels of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) and low levels of pigment-epithelial derived factor (PEDF), an inhibitor of vascularization a ...
