A Safety and Efficacy Study of Cryopreserved OTL-200 for Treatment of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD)

Italy10 participantsStarted 2018-01-25

Plain-language summary

OTL-200 is autologous CD34+ cells transduced with lentiviral vector containing human arylsulfatase A (ARSA) complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) used for the treatment of MLD. MLD is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) characterized by severe and progressive demyelination affecting the central and peripheral nervous system. This study will assess safety and efficacy of treatment using cryopreserved formulation of OTL-200 in pediatric subjects with pre-symptomatic Early Onset MLD (Late Infantile (LI) to Early Juvenile (EJ) MLD) and early symptomatic EJ MLD.

Inclusion criteria

. an older sibling affected by MLD (index case), whose age of symptom onset was \<=6 years of age (i.e., had not celebrated 7th birthday). Subjects will be classified as LI, EJ or intermediate LI/EJ based on age of symptom onset in the index case and their ARSA genotype; LI: symptom onset in index case \<=30 months of age and genotype typically 0/0; EJ: symptom onset in index case \>30 months and \<= 6 years of age with genotype typically 0/R; Intermediate LI/EJ: symptom onset in index case \<= 6 years of age but unable to unambiguously characterize index case as LI or EJ OR
. if MLD is diagnosed in a pre-symptomatic child without an older affected sibling, (e.g.) incidentally or via newborn screening) and the totality of the data available to the investigator strongly suggest that the subject has an early onset variant of MLD likely to benefit from gene therapy, and the subject is \<=6 years of age (i.e., has not celebrated 7th birthday), the subject may be considered eligible after discussion and approval by the Orchard medical monitor.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
