Why are we doing this study?

An mRNA-based investigational medicine (called UX053) is being tested for possible use in the treatment of glycogen storage disease type III (GSDIII).

Ultragenyx is sponsoring this global study to determine if UX053 is a safe and effective treatment for adults with GSDIII.

Scientist and mRNA gene therapy

mRNA is an exciting new opportunity for rare disease treatment
mRNA are medicines that instruct cells in the body to make proteins when certain proteins are missing and need to be replaced—like the one missing with GSDIII. Scientists are exploring the use of mRNA therapy to treat rare and ultra-rare diseases.

Learn about mRNA therapy and its connection to rare disease

This study is approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), an established organization that protects the rights and welfare of patients participating in research activities.

Patient portrayal.

GSDIII is caused by a glycogen debranching enzyme deficiency that results in glycogen accumulation in the liver and muscles, disrupting the regulation of glucose. This can lead to extensive damage to the liver and muscles over time.

If you are thinking about joining a study, our Patient Enrollment Liaison (PEL) team is here to help. Every member of our PEL team has a robust professional background and clinical expertise and experience to help answer your questions. Your PEL team member will assist in exploring clinical and nonclinical studies and can determine if you or someone you care for may be eligible to take part. Your PEL is here to make the process as easy as possible.

To speak with a PEL about current and future medical research opportunities, please email our PEL team at [email protected].

When you voluntarily submit your personal data, Ultragenyx stores and processes this information in an electronic database consistent with our Privacy Policy. Ultragenyx will use this information to contact you to fulfill your request regarding Ultragenyx research opportunities.

Clinical and nonclinical studies provide invaluable information to treat, diagnose, or discover new breakthroughs in treating rare and ultra-rare diseases. By choosing to participate in research, you may help advance treatments, provide crucial insights, and ultimately improve the quality of life for others living with a rare or ultra-rare disease. You might also benefit from learning more about your condition, gain access to specific care, or achieve faster access to treatment. All efforts of participation, big and small, can make a difference.

Ultragenyx is leading the future of rare disease medicine. We leverage our experience, insight, and commitment to help move the rare disease community forward. Our primary goal is to provide medicines to those with limited options, and to help patients face rare disease head on with courage and confidence.
