Doctors test One-Time gene fix for 'Bubble Boy' disease

NCT ID NCT03538899

Summary

This study is testing a new gene therapy for a rare and life-threatening immune disorder in babies called Artemis-deficient SCID. Doctors take a child's own blood stem cells, use a virus to insert a healthy copy of the faulty gene, and then return the corrected cells. The goal is to see if this one-time treatment can safely give the child a working immune system for life, especially when a matched sibling donor for a traditional transplant is not available.
