About this study

Official title: Autologous Transplantation of Bone Marrow CD34+ Stem/Progenitor Cells After Addition of a Normal Human ADA Complementary DNA (cDNA) by the EFS-ADA Lentiviral Vector for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Due to Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency (ADA-SCID)

The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of autologous transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (CD34+ cells) from the bone marrow (BM) of ADA-deficient SCID infants and children following human ADA cDNA transfer by the EFS-ADA lentiviral vector. The level of gene transfer in blood cells and immune function will be measured as endpoints.

Read the detailed description

The study is open to twenty (20) infants and children diagnosed with ADA-deficient SCID who did not have a medically eligible, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donor for bone marrow transplantation. The EFS-ADA lentiviral vector with the human ADA cDNA will be used to transduce autologous CD34+ cells from the bone marrow of these subjects. The subjects will receive 4 mg/kg busulfan prior to re-infusion of their gene-modified cells. Safety is the primary endpoint. During the follow-up phase, the investigators aim to determine whether the cells could engraft and produce mature cells that contain and express the corrected ADA gene in the absence of pegademase bovine (PEG-ADA) enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), which will be withheld at Day +30 following transplant. Efficacy studies to evaluate the level of immune reconstitution, will be performed in the first and second years of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival (OS) of Subjects Treated With Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) (1 Year)

    Overall survival is defined as the percentage of subjects alive at 12 months post- treatment with OTL-101 or HSCT

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Event-free Survival (EvFS) of Subjects Treated With Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) (1 Year)

    Event-free survival is defined as the percentage of subjects alive with no "event", an "event" being the resumption of PEG-ADA ERT or the need for a rescue allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT), or death.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. OS of Subjects Treated With Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) (2 Years)

    OS is defined as the percentage of subjects alive at 24 months post- treatment with OTL-101 or HSCT

    Measured: 24 months

  2. EvFS of Subjects Treated With Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) (2 Years)

    Event-free survival is defined as the percentage of subjects alive with no "event", an "event" being the resumption of PEG-ADA ERT or the need for a rescue allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT), or death.

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Vector Copy Number (VCN) in Peripheral Blood (PB) Granulocytes.

    Vector copy number in the PB granulocyte fraction that was T cell depleted, is a surrogate for amount of engrafted genetically modified Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) that are producing granulocytes every 3-5 days. VCN analysis was performed by Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) on DNA extracted from peripheral blood granulocytes.

    Measured: 24 months

  4. VCN in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs)

    PBMC VCN is a measure of the accumulation of peripheral blood leukocytes arising from engrafted, genetically modified HSC. VCN analysis was performed by ddPCR on DNA extracted from PBMC.

    Measured: 24 months

  5. ADA Activity in Erythrocytes

    ADA enzyme activity measured to assess the amount of functional gene product produced from the normal ADA transgene delivered by EFS-ADA LV; persistence of ADA enzyme activity over time demonstrates successful engraftment and differentiation of genetically modified HSC.

    Measured: 24 months

  6. Reduction in Deoxyadenosine Nucleotide (dAXP) in Erythrocytes

    Decreased dAXP levels coincide with increased ADA enzyme activity, detoxification was used to demonstrate functional ADA enzyme production from the introduced ADA transgene. The threshold for detoxification was <100 μmol/L.

    Measured: 24 months

  7. Change From Baseline in CD3+ T Cell Counts (2 Years)

    Immune reconstitution was assessed by change in CD3+ T Cell counts at baseline to Month 24.

    Measured: 24 months

  8. Number of Single Integration Sites Representing >30% of the Total Integration Sites (2 Years)

    Vector Integration Site Analysis (VISA) allowed determination of the distribution of vector integration sites in each subject's genome, as well as the relative clonal abundance. VISA was to be considered abnormal for a subject if, in 2 or more instances during the course of follow-up, a single integration site was found to represent >30% of the total integration sites detected.

    Measured: 24 months

  9. Severe Infection Rate Excluding the First Three Months After Treatment

    The infections of interest in this study were severe infections or opportunistic infectious episodes, defined as infections requiring hospitalization or prolonging hospitalization and/or documented infections by opportunistic pathogens. Infections that took place in the first 3 months of follow-up post treatment were excluded from calculations to avoid possible bias introduced in the data by the effects of conditioning.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Infusion of autologous EFS-ADA LV CD34+ (OTL-101), busulfan and PEG-ADA ERT in people with ADA-SCID, run by University of California, Los Angeles at 2 sites in United States.

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 40 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 3 Aug 2022. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Sep 2021). 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?

Overall Survival (OS) of Subjects Treated With Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) (1 Year) (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01852071, 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 3 Aug 2022.
