ADA Gene Transfer Into Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells for the Treatment of ADA-SCID

Plain-language summary

This study evaluates a gene therapy (Strimvelis) in which the ADA gene is inserted into the patient's own blood stem cells, for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency caused by ADA enzyme deficiency (ADA-SCID). It included pediatric patients without an HLA-matched sibling donor for whom enzyme replacement was insufficient. It was a Phase 2 study and has been completed.
