Lentiviral-mediated Gene Therapy of Fanconi Anemia Patients Subtype A

Summary

This is an open, Phase I / II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a hematopoietic gene therapy procedure with an orphan drug consisting of a lentiviral vector carrying the FANCA gene for patients with Fanconi Anemia of Subtype A . CD34 + cells derived from bone marrow and / or mobilized peripheral blood (fresh and / or cryopreserved) from patients with Fanconi subtype A (FA-A), will be transduced ex vivo with a lentiviral vector carrying the gene FANCA (orphan drug) . After transduction the cells will be inoculated in patients in order to restore their hematopoiesis with genetically corrected stem cells.
