COMPLETED Phase 1

Phase I/II Study of Retroviral-Mediated Transfer of Iduronate-2-Sulfatase Gene Into Lymphocytes of Patients With Mucopolysaccharidosis II (Mild Hunter Syndrome)

NCT00004454 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the safety and feasibility of treating mucopolysaccharidosis II (mild Hunter syndrome) by lymphocyte gene therapy. II. Determine the levels of iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme in these patients attained by infusing increasing doses of lymphocytes transduced with a retroviral vector designed for insertion and expression of this iduronate-2-sulfatase gene (L2SN). III. Determine the duration of survival of these transduced cells in these patients. IV. Determine whether monthly infusion of L2SN-transduced lymphocytes accomplishes metabolic correction (as measured by glycosaminoglycan excretion), decrease in liver or spleen volume, any therapeutic effect upon cardiac and pulmonary dysfunction, or any other effects from treatment.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00004454

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00004454 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 2 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), which has 237 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Mucopolysaccharidosis II appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which lymphocyte gene therapy is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00004454 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
