Abeona Phase 1B trial of Gene Therapy program

The Sanfilippo Children’s Foundation has joined a collaborative agreement between nine global Sanfilippo Foundations to conduct a phase 1b gene therapy trial for Sanfilippo types A and B.

This experimental treatment uses a virus to deliver a healthy copy of the faulty gene to the cells of children with Sanfilippo types A and B. The ongoing phase 1A trial is producing promising preliminary results.

Collectively the foundations will grant US$13.875m to Abeona with Sanfilippo Children’s Foundation contributing US$1.5m. This will secure an Australian site for the phase 1b trial which will give more Australian children the opportunity to access this emerging treatment.
