About this study

This is a phase I/II protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ADA gene transfer into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells for the treatment of adenosine deaminase (ADA)-deficiency. This condition is an autosomal recessive form of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) characterized by impaired immune responses, recurrent infections, failure to thrive and systemic toxicity due to accumulation of purine metabolites. Transplants from an human leukocyte-antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donor is the treatment of choice, but available for a minority of patients. The use of alternative bone marrow donors or enzyme replacement therapy is associated with important drawbacks. The drug product studied in this protocol consists of autologous cluster of differentiation (CD)34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells engineered ex vivo with a retroviral vector encoding the therapeutic gene ADA. The engineered CD34+ cells are infused following a nonmyeloablative conditioning with busulfan to make space in the bone marrow. The study objectives are: a) to evaluate the safety and the clinical efficacy of gene therapy, in the absence of enzyme replacement therapy; b) to evaluate the biological activity (engraftment, ADA expression) of ADA transduced CD34+ cells and their hematopoietic progeny. c) to evaluate the immunological reconstitution and purine metabolism after gene therapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Survival

    From post-treatment to up to 3 years

    Measured: baseline to 3 years post gene therapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rate of Severe Infections

    Severe infections were defined as those that required hospitalization or those that prolonged hospitalization. The rate of infection was estimated as number of severe infections over person-years of observation (free from severe infections) before and after treatment administration. The first 3 months after gene therapy were not considered in the post-gene therapy analysis, because all subjects were hospitalized during this period.

    Measured: Before Treatment and 3-months post-treatment up to 3 years

  2. CD3+ Cell Counts

    T-lymphocyte counts (CD3+): mean T-lymphocyte at Baseline and 3 years post gene therapy. Samples were taken from peripheral venous whole blood and tested by cytofluorometry; values are means (10^6/L).

    Measured: baseline up to 3 years post gene therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gene Therapy and Busulfan in people with Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes, run by Fondazione Telethon at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Israel, Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Jul 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival (time frame: baseline to 3 years post gene therapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00598481, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jan 2024.
