About this study

Official title: Phase 1/2 Trial of Base Editing for Mutation Repair in Hematopoietic Stem & Progenitor Cells for X-linked Chronic Granulomatous Disease

Background:

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare immune disorder caused by a mutation in the CYBB gene. People with CGD have white blood cells that do not work properly and are at greater risk of getting infections. Researchers want to know if gene therapy using the patient's own base-edited stem cells can improve the white cells' functioning and result in fewer CGD-related infections.

Read more

Objective:

To learn if base-edited stem cells will correct the white blood cells in people with CGD.

Eligibility:

Males aged 18 years and older with X-linked CGD.

Design:

This is a non-randomized study. Participants with the specific mutation under study will be screened during the initial phase.

During the development phase, participants will undergo apheresis to collect stem cells for base-editing correction of the mutation.

During the treatment phase, participants will first receive Campath (alemtuzumab) to reduce the risk of an immune response to the new protein expressed by the base-edited cells. This will be followed by conditioning chemotherapy with busulfan and subsequent infusion of the base-edited stem cells. Participants will be maintained on sirolimus to further reduce the risk of an immune response to the new protein expressed by the base-edited cells.

Follow-up visits will continue for 15 years.

Read the detailed description

Study Description:

Open-label, phase 1/2 trial to determine the safety, and efficacy of a single infusion of base-edited (BE) autologous hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) for treatment of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD). Base editing is performed to repair CYBB missense gene mutations (eg, CYBB c.676C>T). The study hypotheses are that 1) base editing can efficiently repair gene mutations in HSPCs; and 2) BE HSPCs can engraft and differentiate into functional phagocytes with restored nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity.

During the initial development phase each study participant will undergo apheresis for CD34+ HSPC collection for the development and validation of a mutation-specific BE system.

During the treatment phase, participants will receive a one-time infusion of the BE autologous HSPC (study product) after the administration of Campath (alemtuzumab) and of busulfan conditioning (total 12 mg/kg with a targeted total AUC of 65,000 ng/mL x hr). Sirolimus will be initiated on Day -1 and may be given for approximately 3-6 months.

Participants will have follow-up evaluations at months 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24, and yearly thereafter until 5 years after treatment. Key study assessments include adverse event (AE) assessment, blood laboratory evaluations of functional protein made from the target gene (CYBB, encodes for gp91^phox), and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing to identify rates of gene repair and off-target mutation.

The final study follow-up under this protocol will be at 5 years, but long-term follow-up under a separate NIH protocol will continue annually to 15 years after treatment.

Objectives:

Primary Objectives:

  • To evaluate the safety of BE autologous CD34+ cells.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of BE autologous CD34+ cells.

  • Engraftment capability of BE HSPCs.
  • Efficiency in restoring gp91^phox expression
  • Efficiency in restoring NADPH oxidase function.

  • Evaluate clinical benefit by improvement of baseline clinical problems such as recurrent infections, growth failure, malnutrition, inflammatory bowel disease, or antibiotic usage.
  • Assess stability of gene correction by serial measurement of percent of nucleotide-converted alleles.

Exploratory Endpoints:

  • Evaluate specificity by assessing for off-target edits at predicted sites with high-throughput sequencing of the 5 most common candidate off-target loci identified by a comprehensive in vitro screen, Circularization for High-throughput Analysis of Nuclease Genome-wide Effects by sequencing (CHANGE-seq-BE), in peripheral blood cells.
  • Determine rate of random off-target edits WGS.

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 12 inclusion and 25 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Suk S De Ravin, M.D. ((301) 496-6772, sderavin@mail.nih.gov), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the safety of base-edited autologous CD34+ cells (time frame: Initiated from the time of the infusion of base-edited cells through 2 years post-infusion). 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 NCT06325709, 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 5 Nov 2026.
