简要总结
X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) is a rare inherited immune defect, which is caused by the inability of phagocytic cells to produce reactive oxygen species due to a defect in the gp91phox subunit of the NADPH oxidase complex. X-CGD patients suffer from recurrent and life-threatening infections and severe hyperinflammatory complications.
The only curative treatment for X-CGD is allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but this procedure implies severe risks and many patients lack an appropriate donor. Therefore alternative curative approaches are urgently needed. In this study, patients will be treated with gene-corrected autologous CD34+ cells, using a SIN gammaretroviral vector for ex-vivo gene-therapy.

入选标准
- •Verified diagnosis of the X-linked form of chronic granulomatous disease, with loss of gp91phox expression (Western Blot). Evidence of less than 5% of normal oxidase production in circulating neutrophil granulocytes as measured by dihydrorhodamine- (DHR-) and nitro blue tetrazolium- (NBT-) assay
- •History of severe chronic infections with life-threatening course or severe steroid- sensitive or steroid insensitive granulomatous disease, with necessity of inpatient treatment, without sustained improvement even under maximum conservative treatment measures
- •No Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) identical (10/10 match) sibling- or unrelated donor, or contraindications for allogenic stem cell transplantation in presence of a suitable donor. The lack of an HLA-identical (10/10 match) sibling- or unrelated donor has to be confirmed by an unsuccessful search in national and international donor registers for at leat 3 months
- •Normal organ-function: glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 60ml/min., Bilirubin ≤ 1.5-fold upper reference-level, normal parameters for liver enzymes and clotting (TPZ 75-100%, partial thromboplastin time (PTT) 30-38sec, Fibrinogen 200-400mg/dl), Leukocytes > 3 x 10^9/l, Granulocytes > 1.5 x 10^9/l, Thrombocytes >100 x 10^9/l
- •Contraception from start of G-CSF application until 1 year after retransfusion of the gene-corrected cells
- •No interferon-gamma injection within two weeks prior to hematopoietic stem cell mobilization
- •Karnofsky-Index > 70%
- •Signed informed consent
排除标准
- •Patients with non-controlled acute infections
- •Severe cardiac or pulmonary malfunctions: ejection fraction < 60%, valvular heart disease > II°, arrhythmia requiring therapy, forced expiratory volume at one second/vital capacity (FEV1/VC) < 75% , diffusion capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) <60%
- •Bilirubin > 1.5-fold upper reference-level
- •HIV-, Hepatitis B- or C - infection
- •Contraindications for G-CSF administration, as autoimmune vasculitis.
- •Contraindications for stem cell apheresis, as low hemoglobin < 8g/dl, cardiovascular instability or severe coagulopathy
- •Pregnancy or breast-feeding
- •Drug- or alcohol-abuse
- •Lack of search for an unrelated donor
- •Patients with a HLA 9/10 mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) will be excluded, if a thorough risk-benefit analysis favors allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
