Apheresis for Immunodeficiency Research (LAD-1, DOCK8, GATA2 Deficiency)

This observational study aims to collect blood stem cells from individuals with certain immune system disorders (LAD-1, DOCK8, or GATA2 Deficiency). Researchers want to test if they can fix the problems with these cells in a lab setting, which could lead to new gene therapy treatments. Gene therapy uses your own modified cells to treat disease, avoiding issues with donor transplants. To join, you must be between 18 and 40 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of one of these conditions, with specific genetic or cell markers. The main goal is to see if they can successfully collect these stem cells within 5 days for further research.

Study design
This is an observational study involving a planned enrollment of 7 participants. It is designed to provide a source of mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells for laboratory research.
What's involved
You would receive filgrastim or a filgrastim biosimilar for five days. This would be followed by a single apheresis procedure to collect blood stem cells.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, which is the ability to correct cell defects in a test tube, is measured at 5 days. No further follow-up for participants is specified.
