Gene Therapy with Modified Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells for Patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA
Sponsor: University of Manchester
Summary
Patients with MPS IIIA have a clinical disorder marked by severe and progressive brain disease and neurological symptoms due to the accumulation of undigested glycosaminoglycans in all cells of the body. This study will be the first in human clinical trial to explore the safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of ex vivo gene therapy (autologous CD34+ cells transduced with a lentiviral vector containing the human SGSH gene) in MPSIIIA patients. Following treatment with the gene therapy patients will be followed up for a minimum of 3 years.
Official title: A Phase I-II, Study of Autologous CD34+ Haematopoietic Stem Cells Transduced Ex Vivo with CD11b Lentiviral Vector Encoding for Human SGSH in Patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA (MPS IIIa, Sanfilippo Syndrome Type A)

Autologous CD34+ cells transduced with a lentiviral vector containing the human SGSH gene
Autologous CD34+ haematopoietic stem cells from MPS IIIA patients will be genetically modified ex vivo using CD11b.SGSH Lentiviral vector (LV), a self-inactivating LV expressing the SGSH gene codon optimized for human use and regulated by a human CD11b myeloid-specific promoter. Cells will be cryopreserved prior to patient administration.
