IT and IV Lentiviral Gene Therapy for X-ALD

Plain-language summary

This Phase 1/2 trial uses a high-safety, self-inactivating lentiviral vector, TYF-ABCD1, to functionally correct the defective gene in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). The vector is delivered both intrathecally and intravenously, and the safety and efficacy of this protocol are being evaluated. Eligible participants are patients aged 1 year and older with an ALD diagnosis supported by plasma VLCFA levels and brain MRI, and a neurological function score (NFS) of 1 or higher.

The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
