Gene therapy trial for children with cystinosis
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new gene therapy called DFT383 for children aged 2 to 5 with nephropathic cystinosis. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and can help improve kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 2 and 5 years old (inclusive up to 5 years and 364 days).
- You have been on oral cysteamine therapy for at least 6 months.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of nephropathic cystinosis and signs of renal fanconi syndrome.
- Your kidney function is relatively good (eGFR of 60 or higher).
- You have received all age-appropriate vaccines.
- You have not had a kidney transplant, stem cell transplant, or gene therapy before.

This study looks at how cysteamine affects the bone health of people with nephropathic cystinosis, a rare genetic condition. It includes children and adults who are already taking cysteamine by mouth and will follow the study plan closely.
This trial looks at the use of cysteamine to treat cystinosis, a rare inherited condition. It may help lower harmful cystine buildup in the body and improve outcomes, especially early in life.
This trial tests a one-time gene replacement therapy given into the fluid around the brain to help children with CTNNB1 neurodevelopmental syndrome. The goal is to see if replacing the faulty gene can improve development and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a new inhaled medicine (BMD003) that delivers CFTR mRNA to help correct the genetic defect causing cystic fibrosis. It is for patients who are 12 years or older, have stable CF, and meet certain lung function and weight criteria.
This trial tests a gene therapy that uses a child's own stem cells to treat autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (a genetic bone disease). It aims to improve bone health and reduce complications like fractures and vision loss.
This study gathers information from people with cystinosis to learn more about the condition. You may be able to join if you have a confirmed diagnosis.
