Inclusion criteria

* Patient to 47 months * SCID patients with confirmed biallelic mutations in the Artemis (DCLRE1C) gene even in the case of leaky forms characterised by a residual activity * Absence of an HLA genoidentical donor or without rapidly available HLA-compatible unrelated donor (within six weeks of diagnosis) * The patient can be treated by gene therapy without delay in case of active life threatening infections compromising the short-term prognosis and for which the delay in finding a phenoidentical donor is incompatible with the patient's condition of health. Active life threatening infections are defined as: viral respiratory infection, CMV infection, adenovirus infection, disseminated BCGitis or other infections grade ≥ 4 according to CTCAE scale * Beneficiary of a social security scheme * Parental, guardian's patient signed informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

* Unwillingness to return for follow-up during the first 2 years study and the long term follow-up * HIV-1 or 2 or HTLV1 infections * Hypersensitivity to G-CSF, busulfan or Fludarabine * Unable to tolerate general anesthesia and/or marrow harvest or peripheral blood stem cell collection (apheresis) or insertion of central venous catheter.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of transplant related mortalityUp to 100 days post treatment
Transgene copy number on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)Up to 15 years post treatmentby qPCR
Transgene copy number on sorted cell populationsUp to 15 years post treatmentDetermined on sorted cell populations CD15+,CD14+, CD19+, CD56+ and CD3+ T lymphocytes by qPCR
Detection of replication-competent lentivirus (RCL)3 months post treatment
Absence of any severe adverse events due to insertional mutagenesisUp to 15 years post treatment
Change in Artemis mRNA levelsAt Day 0, 12 months and 24 months post treatmentby RT-qPCR performed on the transduced CD34+ cells in the drug substance and on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)
Adverse eventsUp to 15 years post treatmentFrequency and severity of clinical AEs and changes in laboratory parameters
Transgene copy number in the transduced CD34+ cells in the drug substanceAt Day 0by qPCR
Change in total number of T cells6, 12, 24 months post treatmentby flow cytometry
Change in distribution of different subpopulations6, 12, 24 months post treatmentby flow cytometry, according to the WBC count: Naïve and activated/memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells will be evaluated using CCR7/CD45RA/CD45RO markers. Early thymic emigrants will be monitored by detecting CD31+CD45RA+CD4+ T lymphocytes; Stem cell-like memory CD8+ and CD4+ T cells will be quantified by counting CCR7+CD45RA+CD8+ T cells. Evaluation of the distribution of TCRαβ and TCRγδ T cells
Change in T lymphocyte in vitro proliferation in the presence of mitogens and antigens6, 12, 24 months post treatment
Change in repertoire of T lymphocytes12, 24 months post treatmentvia high-throughput sequencing of the TCR
Evaluation of the B lymphocyte compartment6 months post treatmentanalysis of the circulating B cell subpopulations by flow cytometry: total CD19+ cells, naive (CD19+IgD+CD27-), switched memory (CD19+IgD-CD27+), marginal zone (CD19+IgD+CD27+), transitional (CD19+IgD+CD27-CD24highCD38+), 21low (CD19+CD38-CD21low). Immunoglobulin levels (IgG, A, M and E) and specific antibody production after immunization (if applicable)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
End of ongoing infection before the transplantationUp to 15 years post treatment
Kinetics of immune reconstitutionUp to 15 years post treatmentKinetics of immune reconstitution
