Scientists try gene editing to fix rare 'Bubble Boy' immune disease

NCT ID NCT06559176

First seen Apr 14, 2026 ยท Last updated Apr 14, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a new gene-editing treatment for people with a rare, inherited immune disorder called chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Doctors will collect a patient's own blood stem cells, use a precise editing tool to try to fix the genetic error causing the disease, and then return the corrected cells to the patient. The main goals are to see if this process is safe and if it can restore the immune system's ability to fight infections.
