About this study

Official title: Prospective, Single-center, Open-label, Single-arm, Single-dose Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of LY-M003 Injection in Adult and Pediatric Patients With Wilson Disease

Wilson's disease (WD), also known as Wilson's disease, is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by a mutation of the copper transport ATPase β (ATP7B) gene located on the long arm of chromosome 13 (13q14.3). This leads to accumulation of copper ions in multiple organs such as liver, brain and kidney, resulting in organ involvement. In this study, LY-M003 Injection is a gene therapy products with rAAV8 vector. After a single intravenous infusion, LY-M003 can be transduced to the target organ of liver and express the ATP7B in hepatocytese.

Read the detailed description

This study adopts a prospective, single-center, open, single-arm, single-dose clinical design to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, immunogenicity, PD and PK characteristics of LY-M003 injection in WD patients, including the main study phase and the long-term follow-up study phase.

This study is designed with 4 dose groups and 2 cohorts (adult cohort and pediatric cohort), namely: Dose Group 1 (1.0 × 10¹³ vg/kg), Dose Group 2 (2.0 × 10¹³ vg/kg), Dose Group 3 (4.0 × 10¹³ vg/kg) and Dose Group 4 (6.0 × 10¹³ vg/kg). Among them, Dose Group 1 serves as the starting dose of this study. The decision to escalate to the 4th dose group shall be made by the investigators and collaborators based on the accumulated safety, efficacy and other relevant data. Based on the accumulated efficacy and safety data of enrolled adult subjects, the investigator and collaborators will determine the starting dose, subsequent enrollment doses, and the number of enrolled cases for pediatric subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing LY-M003 in people with Wilson Disease, run by Chaohui Yu at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 26 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chaohui Yu, PhD (86+13957161659, ych623@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) within 52 weeks after the injection of LY-M003 (time frame: From enrollment to 52 weeks after administration). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jan 2026.
