About this study
Official title: A Phase 2/3 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Hematopoietic Stem Cells Transduced With Lenti-D Lentiviral Vector for the Treatment of Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD)
This trial assessed the efficacy and safety of autologous cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34+) hematopoietic stem cells, transduced ex-vivo with Lenti-D lentiviral vector (also called elivaldogene autotemcel or eli-cel), for the treatment of cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD). A participant's blood stem cells were collected and modified (transduced) using the Lenti-D lentiviral vector encoding human adrenoleukodystrophy protein. After modification (transduction) with the Lenti-D lentiviral vector, the cells were transplanted back into the participant following myeloablative conditioning. Participants in this study will be continuously followed in study LTF-304.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Who Were Alive and Have None of the 6 Major Functional Disabilities (MFDs) at Month 24 and Without Allo-HSCT or Rescue Cell Administration
The 6 MFDs consisted of loss of communication, cortical blindness, tube feeding, total incontinence, wheelchair dependence, complete loss of voluntary movement. Month 24 MFD-Free survival criteria was defined as: alive at 24 months post-infusion; had not developed any of the MFDs by 24 months post-infusion; had not received rescue cell administration or allo-HSCT by 24 months post-infusion; and had not withdrawn from the study or had not been lost to follow-up by 24 months post-infusion. Percentage of participants who were alive and have none of the 6 major functional disabilities (MFDs) at Month 24 were reported.
Measured: At Month 24
Proportion of Participants Who Had Experienced Either Acute ([>or=] Grade II) or Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) by Month 24
Acute GVHD graded on the Acute GVHD Grading Scale (I-IV): Grade I is characterized as mild disease, Grade II as moderate, Grade III as severe (involvement of any organ system), and Grade IV as life-threatening; chronic GVHD was determined by the Investigator. Percentage of participants who experienced with either acute (>= Grade II) or chronic GVHD at Month 24 were reported.

Sustained resolution of gadolinium positivity was defined as having at least two consecutive GdE- results by MRI without a subsequent evaluation indicating GdE+.
Measured: Up to Month 24
Number of Participants With Change in Total Neurologic Function Score (NFS) From Baseline up to Month 24
NFS was a 25-point score used to evaluate the severity of gross neurologic dysfunction in CALD by scoring 15 symptoms (functional domains) across 6 categories. Listed here are the 15 symptoms followed by their maximal score out of 25 points: a) Hearing / auditory processing problems-1, b) Aphasia/apraxia-1, c) Loss of communication-3, d) Vision impairment/field cut-1, e) Cortical blindness-2, f) Swallowing/other CNS dysfunctions-2, g) Tube feeding-2, h) Running difficulties/hyperreflexia-1, i) Walking difficulties/spasticity/spastic gait (no assistance)-1, j) Spastic gait (needs assistance)-2, k) Wheelchair dependence-2, l) Complete loss of voluntary movement-3, m) Episodes of incontinence -1, n) Total incontinence-2, o) Nonfebrile seizures-1. A score of "0" denoted absence of clinical signs of cerebral disease. Maximal signs within a domain score the total of all grades within that domain. Number of participants with change in total NFS from baseline up to Month 24 were reported.
Measured: Baseline up to Month 24
Major Functional Disability (MFD)-Free Survival Rate
MFD-free survival rate was defined as percentage of participants from drug product infusion to either second transplant, MFD, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. MFD-free survival rate was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier Analysis. Kaplan-Meier estimated MFD-free survival rate at 24 months after Lenti-D drug infusion was reported.
Measured: At 24 months after Lenti-D drug infusion
Overall Survival Rate
Overall survival rate was defined as percentage of participants alive from date of Lenti-D drug product infusion (Day 0) to date of death of all causes. Overall survival rate was censored at the date of last visit if the participant were alive. Participants who are alive were censored at the date of last contact. Overall survival rate was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier Analysis. Kaplan-Meier estimated overall survival rate at 24 months after Lenti-D drug infusion was reported.
Measured: At 24 months after Lenti-D drug infusion

The first day of 3 consecutive platelet counts >=20 × 10^9 cells/L was the day of PE. Percentage of participants with Platelet Engraftment by Month 24 (Rel Day 730) were reported.
Measured: By Month 24
Time to Platelet Engraftment Post-drug Product Infusion
Platelet Engraftment was defined as achieving 3 consecutive unsupported platelet counts of > or =20 × 10^9 cells/L (after initial post-infusion nadir) obtained on different days while no platelet transfusions were administered for 7 days immediately preceding and during the evaluation period. The first day of 3 consecutive platelet counts >=20 × 10^9 cells/L was the day of PE. Time to Platelet Engraftment post-drug product infusion up to Month 24 was reported.
Measured: By Month 24
Proportion of Participants With Engraftment Failure By Month 24
Participants were considered to have primary engraftment failure if they did not achieve NE by Relative Day 43. A participant was considered to have secondary engraftment failure if they achieved and then subsequently lost NE by the Month 24, i.e., if they met both the conditions; Achieved NE by Relative Day 43 as defined above and had sustained decline in ANC to < 0.5×10^9 cells/L for 3 consecutive measurements on different days after Relative Day 43, without alternate etiology.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing Lenti-D Drug Product (eli-cel) in people with Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD), run by Genetix Biotherapeutics Inc. at 8 sites in 6 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 8 inclusion and 22 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 25 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in United States, Argentina, Australia, France, Germany and 1 more country. 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 combined 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.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 25 Apr 2022). 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?
Percentage of Participants Who Were Alive and Have None of the 6 Major Functional Disabilities (MFDs) at Month 24 and Without Allo-HSCT or Rescue Cell Administration (time frame: At Month 24). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01896102, which also lists 3 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 25 Apr 2022.
