Talk Papers are subject to change as more information becomes available. Media Inquiries: 301-827-6242 January 14, 2003 Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA FDA PLACES TEMPORARY HALT ON GENE THERAPY TRIALS In a precautionary measure, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today placed on "clinical hold" all active gene therapy trials using retroviral vectors to insert genes into blood stem cells. FDA took this action after it learned that a second child treated in a French gene therapy trial has developed a leukemia-like condition. Both this child, and another who had developed a similar condition last August, had been successfully treated by gene therapy for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency disease (X-SCID), also known as "bubble baby syndrome." Infants with X-SCID have a gene defect that leads to a complete lack of white blood cells that can fight infection. Without treatment, they die from complications of infectious diseases during the first year of life. The only treatment for this condition is a bone marrow transplant.

Extractions: Blood Therapeutics Vaccines Allergenics ... About Us The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) regulates human gene therapy products - products that introduce genetic material into the body to replace faulty or missing genetic material, thus treating or curing a disease or abnormal medical condition. CBER uses both the Public Health Service Act and the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act as enabling statutes for oversight. FDA has not yet approved any human gene therapy product for sale. However, the amount of gene-related research and development occurring in the United States continues to grow at a fast rate and FDA is actively involved in overseeing this activity. FDA has received many requests from medical researchers and manufacturers to study gene therapy and to develop gene therapy products. Such research could lead to gene-based treatments for cancer, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, hemophilia, wounds, infectious diseases such as AIDS, and graft-versus-host disease.

Extractions: MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, Gene therapy has matured as an exciting new field of research which will have a significant impact on biology and medicine during the next decade. Both pathogenesis of various diseases and basic biological pathways can be studied by gene transfer techniques. Thus, gene transfer will provide a versatile tool for researchers to solve emerging biological questions. However, it is also evident that systematic basic research is needed to improve gene transfer vectors and delivery methods before the full potential of gene transfer techniques can be realized. Finnish scientists have been active in the field of gene therapy for several years. Since the number of researchers engaged in gene transfer and gene therapy studies has steadily increased, it was felt that it is time to establish Finnish Gene Therapy Society. The major aims of the Society are to foster the exchange of ideas between research groups and individual scientists, to organize scientific meetings and training courses and to inform general public about basic aspects and recent developments of gene therapy. Finnish Gene Therapy Society will also establish a Fund for travel grants for promising young scientists. We plan to maintain an updated www home page in order to improve exchange of ideas and information in the field of gene therapy. I am looking forward to working with you to create a very active and stimulating Society. I also welcome all comments and suggestions regarding future activities of the Society.
American Scientist: Gene Therapy
gene therapy At its core, the notion of gene therapy or gene correctionis scientifically sound. Next Section. © American Scientist 1999.
http://www.sigmaxi.org/amsci/articles/99articles/kmiecintro.html

Extractions: May-June 1999 Gene Therapy Investigators have been searching for ways to add corrective genes to cells harboring defective genes. A better strategy might be to correct the defects. Most of the gene therapy techniques developed so far are of the gene-addition variety; that is, they attempt to provide a good copy of a gene to a cell that harbors a bad one. The hope is that the good, corrective gene will compensate for the bad one and restore the cell to its proper function. Gene addition has been achieved by a variety of means not only in test-tube experiments, but in clinical trials involving real patients as well. Yet, to date, the results of these trials have been disappointing. Even the most successful clinical trial has fallen short of therapeutic efficacy. Unfortunately, many of these trials have been widely publicized and, in some cases, oversold in popular books and magazine articles. Having failed to live up to the inflated expectations created by such publicity, these disappointing trial results have left a general impression that gene therapy cannot now or ever fulfill its initial promise. But these clinical trials may have been conducted before the technology was fully mature, driven in part by investor demands on biotechnology companies to rush products to market. Such clinical trials were almost certainly destined to fall short of the mark.

http://www.sigmaxi.org/amsci/articles/99articles/Kmiec.html

Extractions: Eric B. Kmiec It has been the hope of biomedical researchers to find ways to fix the genes that cause disease. Over a decade ago, when researchers at MIT realized that viruses could be modified to carry corrective genes into cells, gene therapy seemed to be an eventuality. But to date, no one has found a way to reliably control the therapeutic genes to make them clinically useful. Our author surveys the history of this field and gives us a peek at the future of gene therapy, where the emphasis may be less on replacing defective genes and more on correcting them.

Extractions: In one of the first treatments of its kind, UK doctors have used gene therapy to cure a toddler of a potentially fatal disorder. Scientists at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London successfully treated 18-month-old Rhys Evans, who had a condition preventing him from developing an immune system. The problem, called severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is caused by a single mutated gene, and meant that he had to live in sterile conditions or risk picking up a life-threatening infection.
