About this trial
This is a Phase I/II clinical trial of gene therapy for treating Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) using a safety and efficacy improved self-inactivating lentiviral vector TYF-ARSA to transduce patient-derived hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), with the goal of achieving therapeutic gene correction through transplantation of genetically modified HSCs. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the gene therapy clinical protocol.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Safety of auto-HSCs transduced with lentiviral TYF-ARSA
Safety of HSCs transduced with 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. AEs will be graded if related to the treatment.
