CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing of Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells for Friedreich’s ataxia

Translational Candidate Autologous human CD34+ HSPC of patients with Friedreich’s ataxia, modified ex vivo using CRISPR/Cas9 to remove the GAA expansion mutation in frataxin Area of Impact Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) for which there is no effective treatment available Mechanism of Action The proposed therapy intervention is intended to impact the target indication of Friedreich's ataxia […]

MPS II: Plasma cell delivery of iduronate sulfatase

Translational Candidate The patient’s own B cells will be engineered to express the therapeutic enzyme needed for care in Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) patients Area of Impact MPS II, a rare genetic disease causing multi-organ symptoms and death by age 15, if not treated. Current treatment does not address major symptoms. Mechanism of Action […]

Cellular Immune Tolerance Symposium

Efficacy and safety of cryopreserved autologous CD34+ HSC transduced with EFS lentiviral vector encoding for human ADA gene in ADA-SCID subjects

Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding the human ADA gene (or "OTL-101") Indication Adenosine Deaminase – Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (or ADA-SCID) Therapeutic Mechanism This project will lead to a License Application for OTL-101 as a treatment for ADA-SCID. The patient’s own stem cells ("autologous") are […]

Pre-Clinical To Clinical Gene Therapy Development For CMT4J

Therapeutic Candidate or Device AAV9 Gene Therapy For An Ultra-Rare Disease Called CMT4J Indication CMT4J or the FIG4 Gene Therapeutic Mechanism Gene Therapy through an Intrathecal One-Time Injection Unmet Medical Need CMT4J is an ultra-rare disorder that presently lacks any available treatment options and represents an underserved orphan population. Project Objective Successful Filing of an […]

Ex vivo Engineering of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells for the Treatment of Hypophosphatasia

Therapeutic Candidate or Device Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells collected from patients with hypophosphatasia and genetically modified with a lentiviral vector to release TNALP Indication Hypophosphatasia (HPP) Therapeutic Mechanism We are proposing a cell-based enzyme replacement therapy for HPP: autologous gene-modified hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) will be infused into the patient and will engraft into the bone […]

Genome Editing of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells to Treat Severe Mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 (Hurler Syndrome)

Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous blood stem cells edited to restore iduronidase expression Indication Severe Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 1 (MPS1/ Hurler's syndrome) Therapeutic Mechanism Autologous blood stem cells undergo genome editing to restore the production of the missing enzyme. These cells are returned to the patient to replace their bone marrow, where they can secrete functional […]

Ex vivo transduced autologous human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells for treatment of cystinosis

Therapeutic Candidate or Device Transduced Hematopoietic Stem Cells from Peripheral Blood Stem Cells of adults and pediatric patients with cystinosis Indication Autologous hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy for patients with cystinosis Therapeutic Mechanism Direct transfer of proteins from interstitial macrophages to host cells via long tubular protrusions called tunneling nanotubes, transplantion of autologous HSC modified […]
