Safety of Reduced Conditioning Regimen Primary · Follow up phase - Median duration: 11.1 years (range: 8.01 -13.3 years)

The absence of prolonged aplasia (defined as ANC \<0.5×10\^9/L \[\<500/μL\] at Day +60, with no evidence of BM recovery and requiring backup administration) was assumed as demonstrating the safety of the RIC regimen.

TLT003 Gene Therapy8
Safety of Lentivirus Gene Transfer Into HSC Primary · after 48 hours after Telethon003 infusion

Safety and tolerability of lentiviral-transduced cell infusion. This will be evaluated on the basis of adverse events reporting and monitoring of the systemic reactions to cell infusion.

TLT003 Gene Therapy8
Sustained Engraftment of Genetically Corrected Haematopoietic Stem Cells in Peripheral Blood and/or in Bone Marrow Primary · at 1 year after Telethon003 infusion

Engraftment is characterized by the presence of gene modified cells in the BM or PB compartments. The main indicator of gene correction is detection of the WAS LVV sequences in the HSPCs and their progeny. The VCN, which is the mean number of integrated copies of the vector sequences per cell genome, was measured using PCR-based methods in DNA samples extracted from BM and PB cell populations at various timepoints post-treatment. Adequate engraftment was defined as either ≥0.04 VCN/cell in BM CD34+ cells or ≥0.01 VCN/cell in PB CD3+ cells.

Presence of Detectable Vector-derived WASP Primary · Median duration: 11.1 years (range: 8.01 -13.3 years)

The percentage of subjects who present the proportion of PB cells expressing WASP was assessed by flow cytometry analysis.

Improved T-cell Functions Primary · Follow up phase - Median duration: 11.1 years (range: 8.01 -13.3 years)

Improvement in in vitro T-cell proliferation was assessed upon stimulation with 3 doses of anti-immobilized CD3 (CD3i) monoclonal antibodies ≥1 year after Telethon003 infusion (as compared with pre-GT values) in PBMC and/or T-cell lines. The degree of correction was evaluated with respect to healthy controls.

Antigen-specific Responses to Vaccination Primary · Follow up phase - Median duration: 11.1 years (range: 8.01 -13.3 years)

The ability to mount a protective humoral response to at least 4 out of 5 nominal antigens including antibodies to T-cell dependent antigens and conjugated or unconjugated polysaccharide antigens was measured after vaccination (planned \>1 year after Telethon003 infusion). If results were available on n \<5 antigens, the rule of at least n-1 applied to define success.

GroupValue95% CI
TLT003 Gene Therapy7
Improved Platelet Count and MPV Normalization Primary · up to 3 years after Telethon003 infusion

Sustained increase in platelet count compared to baseline, analyzing the individual longitudinal profile

Overall Survival Primary · Follow up phase - Median duration: 11.1 years (range: 8.01 -13.3 years)

Participant survival was monitored throughout the study.

GroupValue95% CI
TLT003 Gene Therapy8
Lack of Immune Response to Transgene Secondary · up to 3 years after Telethon003 infusion

Anti-WASP and anti-HIV-1 antibodies (anti-p24) were monitored to evaluate response to transgene and to vector, respectively.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: Adverse events were reported in the statistical outputs from Screening onward. Post-treatment AEs were recorded during follow up - Median duration of follow-up was 11.1 (range: 8.0-13.3) years.. Reporting threshold: 0%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
