One-Time treatment aims to halt devastating childhood brain disease
⭐️ CURE ⭐️ CompletedThis study tested a one-time gene therapy called OTL-200 for children with early-onset metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare and fatal genetic brain disease. The treatment involved collecting a child's own blood stem cells, fixing the genetic error in a lab, and returning th…

Experimental enzyme treatment tested on single child with devastating brain disease
Disease control CompletedThis study tested an experimental enzyme replacement therapy for a child with late infantile MLD, a rare and severe brain disease. The child had previously received a stem cell transplant but still needed additional treatment. Researchers gave intravenous enzyme infusions every o…

Doctors test gene fix for devastating childhood brain disease
Disease control CompletedThis early-stage trial tested a gene therapy for metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare and severe genetic disorder that damages the brain and nervous system. Researchers collected blood stem cells from 20 pre-symptomatic or early-symptomatic children with MLD, used a modifie…

Doctors inject gene therapy directly into Children's brains to fight rare fatal disease
Disease control CompletedThis early-stage study tested a new gene therapy approach for children with a rare, severe brain disease called metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD). Doctors injected a modified virus carrying a healthy gene directly into the brains of five young children (ages 6 months to 4 years)…

Gene test cuts diagnosis time for devastating childhood brain diseases from years to months
Diagnosis CompletedThis study tested whether using whole genome sequencing (a complete genetic map) as a first test could diagnose children with rare, inherited brain disorders called leukodystrophies faster and more accurately than the standard step-by-step approach. Researchers enrolled 236 child…
