Authorised Human Pharmacology (Phase I)- First administration to humans Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (FHL)

MUNC13.4 - A phase I/II Open Label non randomized study, monocentric, single arm, evaluating Safety and Efficacy of Gene Therapy of FHL 3 caused by mutations in the human UNC13D gene by transplantation of a single dose of autologous CD34+ cells transduced ex vivo with the UNC13D LV vector expressing the UNC13D cDNA

EU CTIS ID: 2023-507334-24-00

What this study is testing

assessing the initial safety of treatment with MUNC-CD34 and MUNC-T3, including the mobilisation procedure, conditioning regimen and transplantation with LV-EF1a-UNC13D lentiviral vector gene modified autologous hematopoietic stem cells combined with transduced autologous T-cell in Munc 13.4 deficient patients.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • 1. Patient aged from 3 months up to 17 years old
  • 2. Patient with a FHL caused by mutation of the UNC13D gene.
  • 3. Complete remission is defined by the normalization of clinical and laboratory parameters:
  • 4. Patient eligible for an allogeneic HSCT in absence of an HLA geno-identical donor (at diagnostic or after failure of a previous HSCT (rejection or loss of the graft))
  • 5. Parental, guardian’s patient signed informed consent.
  • 6. For patients of childbearing age : willing to use an effective method of contraception during the trial and for at least 12 months post-infusion
