A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Use of a Cryopreserved Formulation of OTL-103 in Subjects With Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome

September 23, 2025 updated by: Fondazione Telethon

A Single Arm, Open-label Clinical Trial of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Therapy With Cryopreserved Autologous CD34+ Cells Transduced With Lentiviral Vector Encoding WAS cDNA in Subjects With Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS)

This is an open-label, single arm study to evaluate the cryopreserved formulation of OTL-103 Gene Therapy. OTL-103 consists of autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells in which the gene encoding for the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome is introduced by means of a third generation lentiviral vector.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 65 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age: up to 65 years

  • Diagnosis of WAS defined by genetic mutation and at least one of the following criteria:

    • Severe Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) gene mutation, defined by literature data (genotype/phenotype studies).;
    • Absent WASP expression, assessed by flow cytometry;
    • Severe clinical score (Zhu clinical score ≥ 3);
  • No human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical related donor available for hematopoietic stem cells transplant (HSCT).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • End-organ dysfunction, severe active infection not responsive to treatment or other severe disease or clinical condition which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
  • Malignant neoplasia (except local skin cancer) or a documented history of hereditary cancer syndrome.
  • Myelodysplasia, cytogenetic alterations characteristic of myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukaemia , or other serious haematological disorders
  • Documented human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with evidence of residual cells of donor origin
  • Symptomatic herpes zoster, not responsive to specific treatment
  • Evidence of acute tuberculosis
  • Acute or chronic stable Hepatitis B
  • Presence of positive Hepatitis C RNA test result at screening
  • Patients not eligible for mobilization protocols in order to obtain CD34+ cells
  • Previous Gene Therapy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Annualized rate of severe infections from 6 to 18 months after gene therapy compared with 1 year before gene therapy
Time Frame: 18 months
18 months
Annualized rate of moderate and severe bleeding episodes up to 1 year after gene therapy compared with 1 year before gene therapy
Time Frame: 12 months
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
