NCT ID NCT05189925

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 new approach for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a genetic condition that leaves people vulnerable to severe infections. Researchers take a participant's own white blood cells, use mRNA to correct the genetic defect, and infuse the cells back. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and feasible, and whether it can temporarily restore the cells' ability to kill germs. The study involves 25 adult males and includes a hospital stay for cell collection and infusion.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mRNA-corrected white blood cells (gp91 Grans)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a temporary way to restore infection-fighting ability in people with CGD, reducing infection risk.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 25 participants. The effect is temporary, and there may be side effects from the infusion or the cell collection process.

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: Individuals must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for study participation: * Males aged 18 to 75 years * CGD confirmed by DHR and deficiency subtype confirmed by protein analysis and/or genetic sequencing * Has a physician at home for follow-up care * Able to provide informed consent * For men who engage in activities that can result in pregnancy, agree to use contraception when engaging in sexual activities that can result in pregnancy. Contraception must be used from screening through 3 months after the CGD-Grans infusion. Acceptable methods of contraception include the following: * Hormonal contraception * Male or female condom EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Individuals meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from study participation: * Clinically unstable due to moderate to severe acute systemic infections as defined by persistent resting tachypnea, tachycardia, or hypoxia of \>20% from baseline and hypotension. * Current or history of stage 4 chronic kidney disease or estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] \<30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 within 90 days of baseline. * Unstable diabetes mellitus with hemoglobin A1c \>7.0% and fasting serum glucose \>200 mg/dL at screening. * Current or history of heart failure stage D as defined by the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association guidelines. * History of arrhythmias that are symptomatic and deemed clinically unsafe for participation by NIH CC Cardiology consultation. * Current or history of invasive cancers that require chemotherapy within 5 years of screening. * Active hepatitis B, C, or HIV infections at screening. * Unstable hypertension requiring addition of new anti-hypertensives within 2 weeks of screening. * Impaired renal function that is unstable, with serum creatinine \>3.0 mg/dL and rising. * Serum transaminases and bilirubin that are \>3 x the upper limit of normal. NOTE: For prospective subjects who, per PI assessment at screening, have abnormal liver function tests, and/or a significant history of liver disease, and/or liver-related complications of CGD, and who otherwise meet eligibility criteria \[i.e. those who do NOT meet any of the exclusion set forth herein\], a hepatology consult will be required at screening, and participation must be approved in writing by hepatology to the PI. * Electrocardiogram abnormalities indicative of acute myocardial injury, or arrhythmias that presents anesthetic risks, at screening. * Anemia with hemoglobin \<8 g/dL (transfusions to correct anemia permitted). * Thrombocytopenia (platelets \<50 x10\^9 cells/L) (platelet transfusions to correct thrombocytopenia permitted). * Profound thrombocytopenia (platelet counts \<10,000/microliter) that is not reversible with platelet transfusions. * Abnormal prothrombin time/partial thromboplastin time (PT/PTT) values outside the ranges accepted at the NIH CC that are not corrected or that cannot be attributed to presence of Lupus anticoagulant (commonly found in CGD patients). * Inherited bleeding disorder that precludes line placement. * Severe oxygen-dependent pulmonary disease that increases risks of procedures that may require sedation. * History of or current evidence of alcohol or illicit drug abuse or dependence. * Participation in a clinical protocol that includes an intervention that, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect the results of the current study. Subjects will be selected in an equitable manner from the available pool of potentially eligible individuals, without regard to factors such as gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, etc, except for age and sex.
