Filter by:Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life. Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.
This study is a national, non-randomized, open-label, multi-site with minimal risk study in adult with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), childhood and adult subjects with cerebral ALD (cALD), juvenile/adult metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) and adults with leukoencephalopathy and axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP). 49 subjects will be enrolled with one blood sample collection during one of their medical follow-up visit. This trial will evaluate the role of innate immunity to influence disease progression in X-ALD, MLD and ALSP, and if the mutations related to these leukodystrophies result in a specific immune response leading to the pathogenesis.
This is a Phase I/II clinical trial of gene transfer for treating Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) using a safety and efficiency improved self-inactivating lentiviral vector TYF-ARSA to functionally correct the genetic defect. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the gene transfer clinical protocol.
The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies, develop biomarkers for use in future clinical trials, and better understand the natural history of these disorders. The knowledge gained from these efforts may help improve the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to patients in the future.
Evaluating the safety and efficacy of Lentiviral Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Therapy for advanced stage of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy and adrenoleukodystrophy.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety and feasibility of intrathecal administration of DUOC-01 as an adjunctive therapy in patients with inborn errors of metabolism who have evidence of early demyelinating disease in the central nervous system (CNS) who are undergoing standard treatment with unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). The secondary objective of the study is to describe the efficacy of UCBT with intrathecal administration of DUOC-01 in these patients.
This single-institution, phase II study is designed to test the ability to achieve donor hematopoietic engraftment while maintaining low rates of transplant-related mortality (TRM) using busulfan- and fludarabine-based conditioning regimens with busulfan therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for patients with various inherited metabolic disorders (IMD) and severe osteopetrosis (OP).
