    Abstract Hematopoietic gene therapy is based on the transplantation of gene-modified autologous hematopoietic stem cells and since the inception of this approach, many technological and medical improvements have been achieved. This review focuses on the clinical studies that have used hematopoietic gene therapy to successfully treat several rare and severe genetic disorders of the blood or immune system as well as some non-hematological diseases. Today, in some cases hematopoietic gene therapy has progressed to the point of being equal to, or better than, allogeneic bone marrow transplant. In others, further improvements are needed to obtain more consistent efficacy or to reduce the risks posed by vectors or protocols. Several hematopoietic gene therapy products showing both long-term efficacy and safety have reached the market, but economic considerations challenge the possibility of patient access to novel disease-modifying therapies. © 2023 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS on behalf of French Society of Pediatrics.

    Abstract In cell and gene therapy, achieving the stable engraftment of an abundant and highly polyclonal population of gene-corrected cells is one of the key factors to ensure the successful and safe treatment of patients. Because integrative vectors have been associated with possible risks of insertional mutagenesis leading to clonal dominance, monitoring the relative abundance of individual vector insertion sites in patients' blood cells has become an important safety assessment, particularly in hematopoietic stem cell-based therapies. Clinical studies often express clonal diversity using various metrics. One of the most commonly used is the Shannon index of entropy. However, this index aggregates two distinct aspects of diversity, the number of unique species and their relative abundance. This property hampers the comparison of samples with different richness. This prompted us to reanalyze published datasets and to model the properties of various indices as applied to the evaluation of clonal diversity in gene therapy. A normalized version of the Shannon index, such as Pielou's index, or Simpson's probability index is robust and useful to compare sample evenness between patients and trials. Clinically meaningful standard values for clonal diversity are herein proposed to facilitate the use of vector insertion site analyses in genomic medicine practice.

    Abstract The first attempts at hematopoietic stem cell-based gene therapy (HSC-GT) were reported >25 years ago for primary immune deficiencies, marking the beginning of a vibrant field of translational and therapeutic research. Since then, many HSC-GT studies have been conducted in diverse genetic diseases. The approach has been improved over time, showing biological and therapeutic efficacy with an overall excellent safety record. Within a defined regulatory and ethical landscape, the field of HSC-GT has reached industrialization and commercialization stages, with a landmark recent approval by the European Medicines Agency of the first HSC-GT medicine for human use. At such a pivotal stage, it is important to look back at 25 years of European applied research in this field. This review highlights some of the key contributions of European teams to the field of HSC-GT, focusing in particular on the development of safer gene transfer vectors and international cooperation.

    Abstract The recent wave of clinical studies demonstrating long-term therapeutic efficacy highlights the enormous potential of gene therapy as an approach to the treatment of inherited disorders and cancer. While in recent years lentiviral vectors have dominated the field of ex vivo gene therapy in man, adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have become the platform of choice for the in vivo gene delivery, both local and systemic.Despite the achievements in the clinic however, a number of hurdles remain to be overcome in gene therapy, these include availability of scalable vector production systems, potential issues associated with insertional mutagenesis, and concerns related to immunogenicity of gene therapeutics. For AAV vectors, clinical trials showed that immunity directed against the vector could either prevent transduction of a target tissue or limit the duration of therapeutic efficacy.-

    Initial observations in the context of a gene therapy trial for hemophilia spurred over a decade efforts by gene therapists and immunologists to understand the mechanism and identify factors that contribute to AAV's immunogenicity, including the prevalence of B cell and T cell immunity to wild type AAV in humans and the interaction of AAV vectors with the innate and adaptive immune system. Despite a number of important contributions in particular in the more recent past, our knowledge on the immunology of gene transfer is still rudimental; this is partly due to the fact that the basic understanding of the complex balance between tolerance and immunity to an antigen, key aspect of gene transfer with AAV, keeps evolving rapidly.-

    However, continuing work towards a better definition of the interaction of viral vectors with the immune system has led to significant advances in the knowledge of the factors influencing the outcome of gene transfer, such as the vector dose, the immune privilege of certain tissues, and the induction of tolerance to an antigen. A better understanding of the structure-function relationship of the viral capsid has boosted the development of novel immune-escape vector variants. In addition, novel immunomodulatory strategies were established to prevent or reduce anti-capsid immunity have been developed and are being tested in preclinical models and in clinical trials. Together, these advances are bringing us closer to the goal of achieving safe and sustained therapeutic gene transfer in humans.-

    Abstract The development of prophylatic or therapeutic medicines for infectious diseases is one of the priorities for health organizations worldwide. Innovative solutions are required to achieve effective, safe, and accessible treatments for most if not all infectious diseases, particularly those that are chronic in nature or that emerge unexpectedly over time. Genetic technologies offer versatile possibilities to design therapies against pathogens. Recent developments such as mRNA vaccines, CRISPR gene editing, and immunotherapies provide unprecedented hope to achieve significant results in the field of infectious diseases. This review will focus on advances in this domain, showcasing the cross-fertilization with other fields (

    Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), or Hunter syndrome, is a rare X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disorder due to a mutation in the lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene. IDS deficiency leads to a progressive, multisystem accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and results in central nervous system (CNS) manifestations in the severe form. We developed up to clinical readiness a new hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy approach for MPS II that benefits from a novel highly effective transduction protocol. We first provided proof of concept of efficacy of our approach aimed at enhanced IDS enzyme delivery to the CNS in a murine study of immediate translational value, employing a lentiviral vector (LV) encoding a codon-optimized human IDS cDNA. Then the therapeutic LV was tested for its ability to efficiently and safely transduce bona fide human HSCs in clinically relevant conditions according to a standard vs. a novel protocol that demonstrated superior ability to transduce bona fide long-term repopulating HSCs. Overall, these results provide strong proof of concept for the clinical translation of this approach for the treatment of Hunter syndrome.

    Abstract With an increasing number of gene therapy clinical trials and drugs reaching the market, it becomes important to standardize the methods that evaluate the efficacy and safety of gene therapy. We herein report the generation of lentiviral standards which are stable, cloned human cells prepared from the diploid HCT116 cell line and which carry a known number of lentiviral vector copies in their genome. These clones can be used as reference cellular materials for the calibration or qualification of analytical methods that quantify vector copy numbers in cells (VCN) or lentiviral vector genomic integration sites (IS). Cellular standards were used to show the superior precision of digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) over quantitative PCR (qPCR) for VCN determination. This enabled us to develop a new sensitive and specific VCN ddPCR method specific for the integrated provirus and not recognizing the transfer plasmid. The cellular standards, were also useful to assess the sensitivity and limits of a ligation-mediated PCR (LM-PCR) method to measure IS showing that at least 1% abundance of a single IS can be detected in a polyclonal population but that not all IS can be amplified with similar efficiency. Thus, lentiviral standards should be systematically used in all assays that assess lentiviral gene therapy efficacy and safety.
