What is Passage Bio evaluating in this trial?

Imagine-1 trial key

  • Name: Imagine-1
  • Treatment: PBGM01
  • Goal: Study the effectiveness and safety of a new gene therapy, PBGM01, in children with GM1 gangliosidosis
  • Ages eligible: 1 to 24 months

In GM1 gangliosidosis, 2 mutated, or non-working copies of a gene called galactosidase beta 1 (GLB1) result in little to no production of something called beta galactosidase (β-gal) enzyme. Passage Bio is studying a treatment, called gene therapy, that is intended to give the body a working copy of the GLB1 gene.

The goal of this trial is to see if the gene therapy can lead to β-gal production and, by doing so, protect nerves and prevent nerve damage for children with GM1 gangliosidosis.

In Imagine-1, researchers are collecting data about:

  • SAFETY

    SAFETY Is the treatment…

    • Safe?
    • Causing side effects? If so, what are they?
  • EFFECTIVENESS

    EFFECTIVENESS Does the treatment…

    • Help brain function?
    • Help motor and sensory nerves continue working or work better?
    • Help the body produce the β-gal enzyme which is missing in people with GM1 gangliosidosis?
  • DOSING

    DOSING Do different doses…

    • Change the effectiveness of the potential treatment?
    • Change the type and intensity of side effects?

Common clinical trial terms

Adverse events (AEs): Side effects that are documented during the trial. Most frequently when doctors use this phrase, doctors are referring to side effects from the treatment itself. However, not all side effects recorded during the trial are the result of the treatment. Some can be related to the disease or other factors.

Cohort: A group of patients who receive the same treatment.

Efficacy: The effectiveness of a treatment or the ability of it to produce a beneficial result.

Eligibility: Guidelines for who can or cannot participate in the study such as age, medical history, and current health status. Your doctor will help determine if your child is eligible for the trial.

Outcomes (primary and secondary): Results that are monitored to determine the impact of treatment on a patient population. The primary outcome is the most important result in answering the research question. This question is typically, "Is the treatment safe? What is the best dose? Does it work?" Secondary outcomes are additional results of interest and are studied to help better understand the efficacy and safety of the potential treatment.

Principal Investigators (PIs): An individual, often a doctor, who leads a trial at a trial location.

Tolerability: What the possible side effects are and how much they impact the participants.
