Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase I/II trial of in vivo lentiviral gene therapy for treating adenosine deaminase severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID) using a self-inactivating lentiviral vector (LV) ivlv-ADA to functionally correct the genetic defect. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the direct intravenous (iv) LV gene therapy protocol.
Detailed Description
This clinical trial will evaluate safety and efficiency of an improved LV system for delivering a therapeutic gene to patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a defective adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene. This gene encodes for the adenosine deaminase enzyme, which is essential for the proper growth and function of infection-fighting white blood cells called T and B lymphocytes. Patients who lack this enzyme are vulnerable to frequent and severe infections. ADA-SCID patients are normally rescued by a bone marrow transplant (BMT) from a matched healthy donor. However, matched donors are difficult to find and donor BMT is associated with high risk. This trial aims to treat ADA-SCID via direct intravenous (iv) injection of a safety and efficiency improved self-inactivating LV carrying a functional ADA gene (ivlv-ADA) to correct the genetic defect. By direct iv injection of ivlv-ADA, the defective immune cells and blood stem cells in the body can be modified to exhibit ADA activity and correct the immunodeficiency. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety of the improved ivlv-ADA, the iv LV gene transfer clinical protocol and the efficacy of immune recovery in patients to overcome frequent infections present at the time of treatment. We will assess the in vivo lentiviral gene transfer efficiency and the long-term effect of this gene transfer procedure.
