Overview
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GC301 adeno-associated virus vector expressing codon-optimized human acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) as potential gene therapy for Pompe disease. Patients diagnosed with late-onset Pompe disease （LOPD） who are ≥ 6 years old will be studied.

- The patient's legal guardian(s) must be able to understand the purpose and risks of the study and voluntarily provide signed and dated informed consent prior to any study-related procedures being performed.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient who has any history or concurrent clinical organic disease, including cardiovascular and liver diseases, respiratory system, nervous system disease, or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the subject unsuitable for participation in the study.
