Metachromatic Leukodystrophy Mld

This is a Phase I/II clinical trial of gene therapy for treating Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) using a safety and efficacy improved self-inactivating lentiviral vector TYF-ARSA to functionally correct the genetic defect. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the direct gene transfer clinical protocol.

This is a Phase I/II clinical trial of gene therapy for treating Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) using a safety and efficacy improved self-inactivating lentiviral vector TYF-ARSA to transduce patient-derived hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), with the goal of achieving therapeutic gene correction through transplantation of genetically modified HSCs. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the gene therapy clinical protocol.

CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
