Authorised Phase I and Phase II (Integrated)- First administration to humans Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis caused by mutations in the TCIRG1 gene

A phase I/II open label study to assess safety, feasibility and efficacy of ex vivo expanded, autologous haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell populations that contain CD34+ cells transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding the TCIRG1 cDNA in children with autosomal recessive osteopetrosis caused by mutations in the TCIRG1 gene.

EU CTIS ID: 2024-518972-30-00

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • 1. Diagnosis of autosomal recessive osteopetrosis caused by mutations in the TCIRG1 gene, defined by one of the following: Clinical Trial Protocol Document FORM SOP-SC-008.02 Revision 2 Page 16 of 39 EU CT number: 2024-518972-30-00 Protocol number: ARO-FT024-01 Protocol date: 12/02/2025 Protocol version: 1.0 TEMP SOP-GEN-000.05 Rev.4 a. Clinical features of osteopetrosis and documented pathogenic/likely pathogenic biallelic variants (homozygosity or compound heterozygosity, whereby at least 1 allele must contain a known pathogenic mutation) in the TCIRG1 gene causing malignant infantile osteopetrosis. b. If a patient presents with clinical features suggestive of severe osteopetrosis (e.g., generalized osteosclerosis, club-shaped long bones, skull base sclerosis, recurrent fractures and osteomyelitis, cranial nerve entrapment leading to visual and/or hearing loss, bone marrow insufficiency) and at least one pathogenic/likely pathogenic mutation of the TCIRG1 gene.
  • 2. Age: ≥ 28 days and ≤ 2 years old
  • 3. Body weight: ≥ 4 kg

You likely can't join if

  • 1. Availability of a medically appropriate, logistically feasible, fully HLA-matched (10/10) sibling or unrelated donor. The chances of finding a suitable, fully matched unrelated donor should be estimated through a preliminary donor bank search by an experienced transplant team. If the patient is judged unlikely to be treated with a fully matched allogeneic HSCT within 6 weeks from activating search procedures, he/she can be considered eligible for this gene therapy study. This criterion will not be applied to patients whose country of origin does not offer an allogeneic HSCT as a treatment option.

The study team makes the final eligibility decision.

Questions & answers

Do participants get paid in this trial?

This listing doesn't specify compensation. Many trials still reimburse travel or offer a stipend, so it's worth asking the study team when you connect.

Is it free to join, and do I need insurance?

Searching and applying through BridgeMD is free. In clinical trials the study-related treatment and visits are generally provided at no cost to you. You usually don't need insurance to take part - confirm specifics with the study team.

How long does this study last?

The listing doesn't state an exact length. The study team walks you through the schedule and number of visits before you decide to enroll.

Who can join this trial?

This study is enrolling all sexes, 0-17 years. The study team makes the final eligibility decision.
