This study examined an autologous transplant of stem cells that were genetically engineered (via a lentivirus) to produce the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A in patients with Fabry disease. It included male patients aged 18-50 with classic Type I Fabry disease who had been on enzyme replacement therapy. It was conducted in Phase 1 and has been completed.
The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
Criteria are reproduced from the ClinicalTrials.gov record in the original English. Only the trial team can determine eligibility.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male patients 18-50 years of age at the time of enrollment 2. Diagnosis of Fabry disease (FD) as defined by very low or absent α-gal A activity 3. Classic FD Type I phenotype with alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) genotyping 4. Patients on enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) prior to enrollment 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status of 0 or 1 6. Adequate organ function within 21 days prior to Pre-Treatment Phase: 7. Willing and capable of signing and giving written informed consent in accordance with Research Ethics Board (REB) requirements 8. Willing to comply with all procedures outlined in the study protocol, cooperative with the protocol schedule, able to return for safety evaluation, or otherwise likely to complete the study 9. Willing to abstain from sexual activity or willing to use condoms during sexual intercourse from day of Melphalan administration on day -1 of Phase 3 until after 12 months follow-up post-transplant. 10. Willing to not donate sperm after receiving Melphalan. Sperm banking will be recommended to any patient who would like to father children in the future. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Males with variant Fabry Disease. 2. Female gender 3. Use of immunosuppressive agents or any anticoagulant 4. Ongoing ERT-related infusion associated reactions of moderate-to-severe intensity 5.

Blood test positive for Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-2), or Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test (VDRL; Transmissible Disease (TD) testing will be done in Pre-Treatment Phase 2 - see section 5.1 for full panel of TD tests. Patients will only be excluded from the study if positive for the TD tests listed here in this exclusion). 7. Uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections 8.
