About this study

Official title: Methodology Study to Investigate the Utility of Retroviral Insertion Site Analysis in Samples From Subjects Treated With Strimvelis™ Gene Therapy

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an enzyme involved in the development and functioning of the immune system. Deficiency of ADA results in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a fatal inherited immune disorder. Strimvelis is a gene therapy that aims to insert ADA function into blood cells and halt or reverse the conditions caused by decreased ADA enzyme levels, such as impaired immune function. It is important to consider long term follow-up of patients who have received Strimvelis, including evaluation of the risk of insertion near certain genes that may lead to unexpected activation of those genes (oncogenesis). The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of a new technique to identify where Strimvelis has become inserted in the genetic sequence, and potential implications for patient care. This new technique is known as sonication linker mediated polymerase chain reaction (SLiM-PCR) for retroviral insertion site (RIS) analysis. The study will recruit at least 15 pediatric or adult patients with ADA-SCID who have been treated with Strimvelis, either in previous clinical trials or as a registered product. Recruitment for the study may remain open for up to 2 years even if 15 subjects are recruited sooner. Study participation will last for up to 5 years. A total of 5 blood samples will be collected from each subject at approximately annual intervals.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • StrimvelisGenetic

    Strimvelis is a gene therapy that aims to restore ADA function in hematopoietic cell lineages and prevent the immunological manifestations. Strimvelis is a cluster of differentiation (CD) 34+ cell enriched dispersion of human bone marrow derived hematopoietic stem cells for infusion which have been transduced with a retroviral vector containing the human ADA gene.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean abundance measurement

    The accuracy and precision of SLiM-PCR methodology will be assessed using whole blood samples, taken from subjects treated with Strimvelis, spiked with control insertion site deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The mean abundance will be calculated between subjects at every time point, within subjects over time points and between the same sample within a time point within a subject.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Coefficient of variation measurement

    The accuracy and precision of SLiM-PCR methodology will be assessed using whole blood samples, taken from subjects treated with Strimvelis, spiked with control insertion site DNA. The coefficient of variation will be calculated between subjects at every time point, within subjects over time points and between the same sample within a time point within a subject.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Measurement of clone abundance of more than 5 percent

    Abundance of clones in subject's samples will be measured by SLiM-PCR, where abundance estimates will be derived from the number of individual sheared DNA fragments and the number of DNA barcodes in the linker sequences.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Shannon diversity index measurement

    The Shannon diversity index is an index that is commonly used to characterize species diversity in a community. The diversity of the clones in subject's samples will be determined using Shannon diversity. Shannon diversity index will be summarized using mean and coefficient of variation.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Strimvelis in people with Immune System Diseases, run by Fondazione Telethon.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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: withdrawn, 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.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Mean abundance measurement (time frame: Up to 5 years). 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?
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.
