Gene Therapy for Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD)
Bu çalışma, piruvat kinaz eksikliği (pyruvate kinase deficiency) olan hastalarda RP-L301 adlı bir gen terapisini incelemektedir; bu tedavi, hastalığa neden olan PKLR gen bozukluğunu düzeltmeyi amaçlamaktadır. PKLR mutasyonu doğrulanmış, şiddetli ve transfüzyona bağımlı anemisi olan hastalar (önce 18-50 yaş erişkinler, ardından 8-17 yaş çocuklar) katılabilmiştir. Çalışma Faz 1 aşamasında yürütülmüş ve tamamlanmıştır.

Inclusion Criteria:
* PKD diagnosis with a confirmed PKLR mutation.
* Adult Cohort ≥18 years old and \<50 years for the initial 2 patients enrolled; Pediatric Cohort ≥8-17 years for the next 2-3 patients.
* History of severe, transfusion-dependent anemia, defined as:
1. At least 6 red blood cell transfusion episodes over a prior 12-month period and Hb levels \<9.5 g/dL in the previous 12 months despite splenectomy OR
2. At least 3 red blood cell transfusion episodes per year over 2 prior years (in the absence of precipitating events such as infection or surgery) and Hb levels \<9.5 g/dL in the previous 12 months despite prior splenectomy.
OR
3. Hb levels \<8.0 g/dL despite prior splenectomy in the absence of transfusions (documented during 2 or more assessments during the prior 1-2 years) regardless of transfusion requirements.
* Adequate cardiac, pulmonary, renal and hepatic function, as detailed in relevant exclusion criteria.
* Availability of detailed medical records, including transfusion requirements, for at least the prior 2 years.
* Willing and able to read and correctly understand the patient information sheet and provide consent (or informed assent for minors) regarding study participation.
* Negative serum pregnancy test for female patients of childbearing potential.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Presence of other known causes of hemolysis (in addition to PKD). Patients with concurrent G6PD deficiency diagnosed during pre-study evaluation may be considered for eligibility if in the opinion of the Investigator, the hemolytic anemia is the result of PKD and the G6PD deficiency is considered an incidental finding.
* A venous thromboembolic event (VTE; i.e., pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) or arteriothromboembolic event (ATE; including unstable angina, myocardial infarction, stroke or transient ischemic attack) during the prior 12 months.
* Any evidence of severe iron overload that, per Investigator discretion, warrants exclusion.
* Evidence of bridging fibrosis, cirrhosis or active hepatitis on liver biopsy. Liver biopsy is required when liver iron concentration (LIC) is ≥15 mg/g on T2\* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of liver. If a liver biopsy has been performed less than 6 months prior to enrollment, it does not need to be repeated.
* Significant medical conditions including documented HIV infection, active viral hepatitis, poorly-controlled hypertension, pulmonary hypertension cardiac arrhythmia or congestive heart failure; pulmonary hypertension or ATEs (including stroke or myocardial infarction) within the 6 prior months.
* Active hematologic or solid organ malignancy, not including non-melanoma skin cancer or another carcinoma in situ. Patients with previously resected solid organ malignancies or definitively treated hematologic malignancies may be eligible if there has been no evidence of active malignancy during the prior 3 years.
* Uncontrolled seizure disorder.
* Cardiac T2\*\<10 ms by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<45% by echocardiogram or multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scanning.
* Hepatic dysfunction as defined by: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>2.5× the upper limit of normal.(ULN).
* Renal dysfunction as defined as serum creatinine \> ULN. Patients with creatinine above ULN may be eligible pending documentation of a GFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73m2 as calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation (Stevens 2006), the revised Schwartz formula (for patients under 18 years old) (Schwartz 2009), or 24-hour urine collection.
* Pulmonary dysfunction as defined by either:
* Need for supplemental oxygen during the prior 2 weeks (in absence of acute infection) or
* Oxygen saturation (by pulse oximetry) \<90%.
* Any medical or other contraindication for both leukapheresis and BM harvest procedure as determined by the treating Investigator.
* Any medical or psychiatric condition that in the opinion of the Investigator renders the subject unfit for trial participation or at higher than acceptable risk for participation.
* Poor functional status, evidenced by Karnofsky Index \<70 in adults or Lansky \<70 in children.
* Participation in another clinical trial with an investigational drug within 14 days before the informed consent signature. Participation in observational studies is allowed.
* Pregnant women or women with a positive serum pregnancy test at screening or breast feeding or planning to become pregnant within the next 24 months. Women not willing to use highly effective contraceptive methods during the complete study period.
