Aspa Therapeutics is developing an investigational gene therapy to treat patients with Canavan disease, and has worked closely with the Canavan Foundation, Canavan Research Illinois, and National Tay-Sachs & Allied Diseases Association to advance its clinical program.

Aspa is the first company to initiate a multi-center, international clinical trial for an investigational gene therapy for Canavan disease.

The company has created this website to provide information about its clinical program. There are two parts to Aspa’s program:

– CANinform – a natural history study of Canavan disease to collect important data that may support the potential approval of the company’s gene therapy.

– CANaspire – a clinical trialdesigned to study the safety and potential effectiveness of an investigational gene therapy in Canavan patients.
