This review provides an overall outcome and progress in gene therapy clinical trials for SCID-X, ADA-SCID, WAS, X- CGD, and the recent developments in genome editing technology applied in HSCs for developing potential therapy, particular in the key studies for PIDs. Children with this disease have a defective gene, called gamma-c, which prevents a subset of the cells of the immune system from forming, and predisposes the children to life-threatening infections.
#Scid gene therapy trial#
The incidence of all severe combined immunodeficiency disorders is 1 in 60,000 newborns and it is estimated that one-quarter to one-third of these cases are X-linked SCID. Gene Therapy A few years ago, a clinical trial began in France in the hope of curing children with a type of genetic immune deficiency called SCID-X1. This group of disorders can be caused by variants in more than 20 genes. In addition to the viral vector based gene therapy, the recent fast moving forward developments in genome editing using engineered nucleases in HSCs has provided a new promising platform for the treatment of PIDs. X-linked SCID is the most common form of a group of severe combined immunodeficiency disorders. Families of children who choose gene therapy must enroll in a clinical trial. Gene therapy trials for ADA-SCID are currently on hold and updates will be made when they are available.
The viral vector had integrated in their genomes next to a cancer-causing gene. Hence, the overall outcome from the clinical trials for the different PIDs has been very encouraging. The most common treatment for SCID is an allogeneic bone marrow transplant, which will introduce normal. Gene therapy is an experimental treatment currently available for children with X-linked SCID and Artemis SCID. Then, from 2002 to 2004, five of the 20 children in a SCID gene therapy trial in Europe developed leukemia.
Despite of some pitfalls at early stage clinical trials, the field of gene therapy has advanced significantly in the last decade with improvements in viral vector safety, preparatory regime for manufacturing high quality virus, automated CD34 cell purification. It is safe to say that the current clinical successes of gene therapy for inherited disorders and for cancer (e.g., using chimeric antigen receptor T lymphocytes) directly stem from the seminal work performed on gene therapy for SCID (811). Of the 10 children who received the therapy between 20, most were babies the one older child, who was 15 at the time, was the only participant whose immune function was not restored by the treatment, suggesting the therapy is most effective in younger children, Kohn said. As gene delivery systems improve and the malignancy. 10 years after: Assessing and refining gene therapy for ADA-SCID.
In past two decades the gene therapy using genetic modified autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) transduced with the viral vector has become a promising alternative option for treating primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs). Gene therapy continues to be controversial because of its associated risk for therapy induced-malignancy.
