Brief Summary:
This is a Phase I/II clinical trial of gene transfer for treating Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) using a safety and efficiency improved self-inactivating lentiviral vector TYF-ARSA to functionally correct the genetic defect. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the gene transfer clinical protocol.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) Biological: Lentivirus-mediated delivery of ARSA to the CNS. Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare lysosomal storage disease. This disease is an inherited single gene autosomal recessive defect. MLD is caused by a mutation in the ARSA gene encoding arylsulfatase A which leads to a deficiency in sulfatide degradation, resulting in its accumulation in oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells and some neurons. A critical level of sulfatide storage can trigger demyelination, the hallmark of MLD, which results in multiple neurological symptoms. MLD has different onset ages including late infancy (1-2 years), adolescence (4 years-before sexual maturity) and adulthood (after sexual maturity). MLD patients are normally rescued by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a matched healthy donor. However, HSCT must be performed at a very early stage of the disease thus restricting its therapeutic opportunies in MLD patients. This trial aims to treat MLD using a safety and efficiency improved self-inactivating lentiviral vector carrying a functional MLD gene to correct the genetic defect by intracerebral injection to delivery the lentiviral vector carrying a normal ARSA gene to correct the pathogenic defect. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety of the improved self-inactivating lentiviral vector TYF-ARSA, the in vivo gene transfer clinical protocol and the efficacy of degradative metabolite in patients at the time of treatment, assessment of vector integration sites, and finally the long-term correction of the related pathological symptoms.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Lentivirus-mediated delivery of ARSA to the CNS.
Intracerebral injection with lentiviral TYF-ARSA vector carrying the functional gene
 Biological: Lentivirus-mediated delivery of ARSA to the CNS.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety of intracerebral injection of lentiviral TYF-ARSA. [ Time Frame: up to 1 year follow up ]
    Safety of intracerebral injection of lentiviral TYF-ARSA, determined by number of participants with treatment-related adverse events (AEs), according to scheduled assessments, vital signs, & physical examinations as assessed by CTCAE v4.0. AEs & clinically significant abnormalities (meeting grade 3, 4, or 5 criteria according to CTCAE) will be summarized by maximum intensity & relationship to study drug(s). Grade 1 & 2 AEs will be summarized if related to study therapy.

  2. Altered disease progression [ Time Frame: up to 3 year follow up after treatment ]
    Altered disease progression based on biochemical analysis and MRI brain imaging analysis.
