Filter by:This is a clinical gene transfer study that aims to verify the safety and efficacy of the use of the EFS-ADA lentiviral vector to introduce the human adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene into the hematopoietic progenitors of patients affected with severe combined immunodeficiency due to ADA deficiency. The EFS-ADA vector expresses the human ADA cDNA under the control of the elongation factor alpha short promoter (EFS). In addition, this protocol will examine the effects of the ADA gene transfer on the immune system of treated patients. Patients with ADA deficiency and ineligible for matched sibling allogeneic bone marrow transplantation are eligible to participate in the study. To increase engraftment and selected advantage or gene-corrected cells, busulfan will be used as a cytoreductive agent. Enzyme replacement (PEG-ADA) will be discontinued 30 days after infusion of gene-corrected cells. CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors will be isolated from the patient bone marrow, peripheral blood or cord blood, exposed to lentiviral vector-mediated gene transfer and re-infused into the patient through a peripheral vein. Clinical, immunological and molecular follow-up studies will assess safety, toxicity, and efficacy of the procedure.
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of autologous transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (CD34+ cells) from the bone marrow (BM) of ADA-deficient SCID infants and children following human ADA cDNA transfer by the EFS-ADA lentiviral vector. The level of gene transfer in blood cells and immune function will be measured as endpoints.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of EZN-2279 in patients with ADA-deficient combined immunodeficiency currently being treated with Adagen.
Individuals with a past diagnosis of severe combined immune deficiency (including many cases of "leaky SCID", Omenn syndrome, and reticular dysgenesis) who have undergone blood and marrow transplant, gene therapy, or enzyme replacement in the past may be eligible for this study. The purpose of study is to look backwards at what has already been done in the. Over 800 patients with SCID are expected to be enrolled, making this one of the largest studies ever to describe outcomes for patients with SCID treated at many different hospitals around North America.
This study is a prospective evaluation of children with Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID) who are treated under a variety of protocols used by participating institutions. In order to determine the patient, recipient and transplant-related variables that are most important in determining outcome, study investigators will uniformly collect pre-, post- and peri-transplant (or other treatment) information on all children enrolled into this study. Children will be divided into three strata: - Stratum A: Typical SCID with virtual absence of autologous T cells and poor T cell function - Stratum B: Atypical SCID (leaky SCID, Omenn syndrome and reticular dysgenesis with limited T cell diversity or number and reduced function), and - Stratum C: ADA deficient SCID and XSCID patients receiving alternative therapy including PEG-ADA ERT or gene therapy. Each Group/Cohort Stratum will be analyzed separately.
Background: - Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare inherited disorder in which certain white blood cells have impaired function and are unable to properly fight infections. SCID typically appears within the first year of life and is characterized by multiple, recurrent severe infections. More than 10 percent of all cases of SCID involve a deficiency of an enzyme called adenosine deaminase (ADA), and these SCID patients also tend to have impaired brain function or psychiatric disorders. Researchers are attempting to treat ADA-SCID patients with an experimental gene therapy, and a research protocol has been established for those who are participating in this therapy. - Little is known about quality of life in individuals with ADA-SCID, but researchers believe that the effects of the disease and the treatments may cause a decreased quality of life in both patients and their parents. Another potential cause of decreased quality of life in ADA-SCID is the associated psychiatric and neurological problems caused by the disease. Researchers are interested in studying quality of life in individuals with ADA-SCID and their parents to provide more information about the disease. Objectives: - To evaluate whether gene therapy alters the quality of life or neuropsychiatric status of children with ADA-SCID. - To monitor for intellectual, attention, memory, or specific learning disorders in children with ADA-SCID. - To evaluate whether undergoing gene therapy has an effect on parenting stress of parents whose children have ADA-SCID. Eligibility: - Children who are participating in the ADA-SCID gene therapy research protocol (01-HG-0189). - Parents of children who are participating in the ADA-SCID gene therapy research protocol (01-HG-0189). Design: - All of the testing and questionnaires will be done in the pediatric or adult clinic. - Participating children will have tests of intelligence, manual dexterity, reaction time, basic reading and arithmetic skills, speech, and memory. These tests will be given before the start of the therapy, and then once a year for 5 years. - Participating children will also complete questionnaires on quality of life. These questionnaires will be given before the start of the therapy, 3 months and 6 months after the therapy, and then every 6 months for a total of 5 years. - Additional psychological tests may be given at the discretion of the study researchers. - Parents will complete questionnaires to provide background medical information and report on quality of life and parental stress. The background information questionnaires will be given at the start of the therapy and then once a year for 5 years, the parental stress questionnaires will be given at the start of the therapy and then every 6 months for 5 years, and the quality of life questionnaires will be given at the same time as the child quality of life questionnaires. - This protocol is separate from the gene therapy treatment protocol.
