Gene Therapy for X-linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID-X1)

Overview

X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1) is an inherited disorder that results in failure of development of the immune system in boys. This trial aims to treat SCID-X1 patients using gene therapy to replace the defective gene.

Full Title of Study: “Gene Therapy for SCID-X1 Using a Self-inactivating (SIN) Gammaretroviral Vector”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: N/A
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: December 2018

Interventions

  • Genetic: Single infusion of autologous CD34+ cells transduced with the self-inactivating (SIN) gammaretroviral vector pSRS11.EFS.IL2RG.pre
    • Single infusion of autologous CD34+ cells transduced with the self-inactivating (SIN) gammaretroviral vector pSRS11.EFS.IL2RG.pre

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Single infusion of autologous CD34+ cells

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Immunological reconstitution
    • Time Frame: 1-18 months post-infusion,then annually
    • Immunophenotyping: detection of naïve CD3+ T-cell numbers, CD4, CD8, TCRαβ, TCRγδ, CD16+CD56+ NK & gamma chain expression. TRECs may be enumerated as surrogate marker for new thymic emigrants post-gene therapy Lymphocyte proliferation assays to test function of T cells Representation of TCR families by flow cytometry (Vβ phenotyping), & CDR3 PCR spectratyping (Vβ spectratyping) to monitor physiological & potentially pathological clonal expansions Restoration of antibody production (IgA, IgM, IgG) & serological responses to vaccinations & natural infections.

Secondary Measures

  • Incidence of adverse reactions
    • Time Frame: from consent until 5 years post-infusion of gene-modified cells
    • At each scheduled visit, adverse events that might have occurred since the previous visit or assessment will be elicited from the patient/parent/guardian. The investigators will maintain a record of all adverse events/occurrences in patients participating in the clinical trial. This record will be noted in the patient’s medical notes. Adverse events that have a causal relationship to the IMP (ARs) and SAEs will be recorded on the AE reporting section of the CRF.
  • Molecular characterisation of gene transfer
    • Time Frame: until 5 years post-infusion of gene-modified cells
    • Quantification of transgene copy numbers is determined on sorted cell populations by real-time PCR methodology. Detailed integration analysis may be used to investigate specific clonal expansions.
  • Normalisation of nutritional status, growth, and development
    • Time Frame: until 5 years post-infusion of gene-modified cells
    • Normalisation of nutritional status, growth, and development will be assessed at each follow-up visit by the investigator through clinical examinations.
