Chronic Granulomatous Disease, (NCT06559176)

This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter Phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of gene therapy by transplantation of Prime Edited autologous CD34+ stem cells modified ex vivo (PM359) in participants with autosomal recessive Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) caused by mutations in the NCF1 (Neutrophil Cytosolic Factor 1) gene.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a rare genetic disease affecting the white blood cells, leading to failure of innate immunity against a variety of human pathogens and is also associated with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Approximately 20-25% of people with CGD inherit a mutation commonly known as "delGT" in both copies of the NCF1 gene, which encodes the p47phox protein.

This study seeks to understand the safety and efficacy of a new gene editing technology, known as Prime Editing, in participants with autosomal recessive CGD caused by the delGT mutation in NCF1. Autologous CD34+ cells are collected from the participant via mobilization and apheresis, shipped to a central manufacturing facility and modified using Prime Editing to 'correct' the delGT mutation causing p47phox CGD. After manufacture, the Prime Edited stem cells (PM359) will be shipped to the study site, where they will be infused back into the participant following a preparative procedure known as conditioning.

The study will initially enroll adult participants (aged ≥ 18) and plans to then move into adolescents aged 12 - 17, followed by children aged 6 - 11.
