About this trial
This first-in-human, Phase 1 clinical trial will test the feasibility of the manufacturing and the safety of the administration of CD4\^LVFOXP3 in up to 30 evaluable human participants with IPEX and evaluate the impact of the CD4\^LVFOXP3 infusion on the disease.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Body weight greater than 8 kg, unless assessed as able to tolerate leukapheresis
FOXP3 gene mutation
Medical history of progressive symptoms of IPEX with persistency of some symptoms and/or signs requiring immune suppressive medication. The participant may or may not be on immunosuppression at time of starting the study.
Uncontrolled IPEX disease but unable to tolerate immune suppressive medication
Disqualifiers
Medical instability
Less than 6 months life expectancy
Inability to meet limits for steroid dosing
Eligible for an HLA matched sibling or matched unrelated donor blood stem cell transplant, and be willing to undergo transplant.
Trial design
Sequential
Treatments tested in this trial
CD4^LVFOXP3
Biological/VaccineInfusion of autologous CD4+ T cells that have undergone lentiviral-mediated gene transfer of: i) healthy human FOXP3 gene leading to persistent high FOXP3 expression and acquisition of Treg-like cell function; and ii) human CD271 surface marker gene that allows tracking and quantification of the CD4\^LVFOXP3 in the blood.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Meet target cell number for dose manufacturing
No more than two products fail the target cell dose and established release criteria.
Find the safe maximum tolerated dose
No more than 1 out of 6 participants may experience a related dose limiting toxicity or treatment emergent adverse events.
Secondary outcomes
Change in Diarrhea incidence
Stool Diary records - extent of diarrhea as measured by frequency and volume of stools, and the presence or absence of blood and/or mucus, and stool studies at specified time points (for all ages).
Change in GI Symptoms - Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale
Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale (GSRS) (for patients ≥12 years old).
Change in Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI measured as kg/m\^2.
Change in age-specific percentiles of height
