Authorised Human Pharmacology (Phase I)- First administration to humans IPEX syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency caused by hemizygous mutations in the gene FOXP3, which encodes an essential transcription factor required to maintain immunological tolerance by thymus-derived regulatory T (Treg) cells.

What this study is testing

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to assess the initial safety and efficacy of treatment with FOXP3-T4 alone or combined with low-dose IL-2 treatment, including the procedure and infusion with LV-FOXP3-LNGFR lentiviral vector gene-modified induced CD4+ Treg-cells in IPEX patients.
