What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a gene therapy given by IV for ADA-SCID, a rare and life-threatening immune disorder. The treatment uses a modified virus to deliver a working gene, aiming to restore the immune system. Ten participants will be monitored for safety and immune recovery over one year.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 10 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Jun 2027

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of classical ADA-SCID based on: * A proven defective adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene as defined by direct sequencing of patient DNA. * T-cell immune deficiency defined as one or more of the following: CD3+ autologous T cells \< 300/ul, or less than 50% of normal value for in vitro mitogen stimulation, or absent proliferation in vitro to antigens. * With severe infections, including but not limited to: pneumonitis; protracted diarrhea requiring total parenteral nutrition; infection with herpes viruses or adenovirus or fungus; disseminated BCG infection. * No cytogenetic abnormalities (medullary karyotype) and no detection of main rearrangements associated with acute leukemia of children. * No prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation. * Life expectancy ≥ 2 months. * Negative for HIV infection. * Written, informed consent obtained prior to any study-specific procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * None
