summary/abstract:Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are inherited metabolic disorders that may lead to severe multi-organ disease. Current ERTs are limited by anti-drug antibodies, the blood-brain barrier, and early disease onset and progression before ERT is started. We have opened a phase I clinical trial of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for fetuses with LSDs (NCT04532047). We evaluated the attitudes of parents and patients with LSDs towards fetal clinical trials and therapies.
