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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 early-stage trial tests a gene therapy for people with hemophilia A, a bleeding disorder. The treatment uses a modified virus to deliver a working gene into the patient's own stem cells, which are then infused back. The goal is to help the body produce clotting factor VIII, potentially reducing bleeding episodes. Only 10 participants are enrolled to check safety first.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Lentiviral factor VIII gene modified stem cells
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a long-term way for people with hemophilia A to produce their own clotting factor, reducing or eliminating the need for regular factor VIII infusions.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 10 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. There is a risk of side effects, and the gene therapy may not work as hoped.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Able to provide informed consent and comply with requirements of the study. 2. Males ≥2 years with confirmed diagnosis of hemophilia A (endogenous factor VIII ≤2 IU/dL or ≤2% of normal). 3. A minimum average of 4 bleeding events per year requiring episodic treatment of factor VIII infusions or prophylactic factor VIII infusions. 4. No measurable factor VIII inhibitor as assessed by the central laboratory and have no prior history of inhibitors to factor VIII protein. 5. Agree to use reliable barrier contraception until 3 consecutive samples are negative for vector sequences. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Significant liver dysfunction as defined by abnormal alanine transaminase, bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase. 2. History of inhibitor against factor VIII. 3. Evidence of active hepatitis B or C and currently on antiviral therapy. 4. Have serological evidence of HIV-1 or HIV-2 with CD4 counts ≤200/mm3 (subjects who are HIV+ and stable with CD4 count \>200/mm3 and undetectable viral load are eligible to enroll). 5. Any evidence of active infection or any immunosuppressive disorder. 6. Participated in a gene transfer trial within the last 6 months or in a clinical trial with an investigational drug within the last 12 weeks. 7. Unable or unwilling to comply with study assessments.
