Official Title: Autologous Transplantation of Bone Marrow CD34+ Stem/Progenitor Cells After Addition of a Normal Human ADA cDNA by the EFS-ADA Lentiviral Vector for Adenosine Deaminase (ADA)-Deficient Severe Combined

Brief Summary: In this current study, the investigators will determine whether using a lentiviral vector (based on HIV-1) will be more effective and safer at gene transfer to hematopoietic stem cells compared to previous gene transfer vectors based on murine (mouse) retroviruses for ADA-deficient SCID. The level of gene transfer in blood cells and immune function will be measured as endpoints.

Detailed Summary: The study will be open to twenty (20) infants and children diagnosed with ADA-deficient SCID who do not have a medically eligible, HLA-identical sibling donor for bone marrow transplantation. The EFS-ADA lentiviral vector with the human ADA cDNA will be used to transduce autologous CD34+ cells from the bone marrow of these subjects. The subjects will receive 4 mg/kg busulfan prior to re-infusion of their gene-modified cells. Safety is the primary endpoint. During the follow-up phase, the investigators will determine whether the cells can engraft and produce mature cells that contain and express the corrected ADA gene in the absence of PEG-ADA enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), which will be withheld at Day +30 following transplant. Efficacy studies to evaluate level of immune reconstitution will begin in the first year and will continue in the second year. This Phase I/II clinical trial will be performed at Mattel Children's Hospital, UCLA and at the Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center, NIH.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Assess safety by recording clinical toxicities. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Safety will be assessed by recording clinical adverse events.
  • Assess safety by determining absence or presence of exposure to replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Replication-competent lentivirus exposure will be assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to VSV-G protein.
  • Assess safety by evaluating the absence or development of monoclonal expansion or leukoproliferative complications from vector insertional effects [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Monoclonal expansion of blood cells by vector-mediated activity will be assessed by nrLAM-PCR
  • Overall survival [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Overall survival will be assessed
  • Event-free survival [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Event-free survival will be assessed by determining the numbers of subjects who remain alive with adequate immune reconstitution and do not need an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant or re-institution of enzyme replacement therapy.
