Summary
This trial tested a gene therapy to treat X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1), a rare genetic disorder that leaves boys without a working immune system. Five boys received a corrected copy of their faulty gene using a self-inactivating retroviral vector. The goal was to restore their immune defenses so they could fight infections normally, without needing lifelong medication.
