The objective of this study is to assess the therapeutic safety and preliminary efficacy of a hematopoietic cell-based gene therapy consisting of autologous CD34+ enriched cells transduced with a lentiviral vector carrying the FANCA gene in subjects with Fanconi anemia subtype A (FA-A).
This is a pediatric open-label Phase 1 clinical trial and will include a safety evaluation and preliminary assessment of the efficacy of hematopoietic gene therapy consisting of autologous CD34+ enriched cells transduced with a lentiviral vector carrying the FANCA gene in subjects with FA-A. CD34+ cells will be transduced ex vivo with the therapeutic lentiviral vector and infused following transduction, without any prior conditioning. After transduction, product quality control evaluations will be carried out in aliquots of the transduced population. Investigational product will be infused via intravenous infusion with no upper or lower limit; a dose of ≥5 x 105 CD34+ cells/kg body weight will be considered optimal. The active agent is a self-inactivating lentiviral vector carrying the therapeutic FANCA gene and the therapeutic product is subject's autologous HSCs that have been transduced with the lentiviral vector. The vector contains the functional FANCA gene.

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v.5.0
Evaluation of safety associated with treatment with RP-L102
Time frame: 3 years
Phenotypic correction of T-lymphocytes in peripheral blood after infusion of RP-L102
Assessment of the percentage of peripheral blood T-cells with DEB-induced chromosomal aberrations that decreases from over or equal to 50% at 0-2 months post-infusion to less than 50% during months 6-36 post-infusion (confirmed in at least 2 determinations conducted in each interval).
Time frame: 3 years
Phenotypic correction of hematopoietic cells in bone marrow after infusion of RP-L102
During months 6-36 post-infusion, the survival of bone marrow colony forming units to 10nM MMC increases to over or equal to 10% than values determined at 0-2 months post-infusion. (1 determination is considered valid).
Time frame: 3 years
Engraftment of gene-corrected hematopoietic cells after infusion of RP-L102
The level of gene marking of the FANCA-LV provirus in total peripheral blood cells is at least 0.1 vector copy number/nucleated cell during months 6-36 post-infusion. (This should be confirmed in at least 2 determinations conducted at different intervals). An increase in the vector copy number/peripheral blood cell is observed from 0-2 months post-infusion to the 3rd year post-infusion. (This should be confirmed in at least 2 determinations conducted in each interval periods).
Time frame: 3 years
Prevention or rescue of bone marrow failure after infusion of RP-L102
Assessment of the need for treatment of bone marrow failure 6-36 months post-infusion. During the 3rd year post-infusion, peripheral blood parameters: hemoglobin levels, neutrophils, and platelets will be assessed and considered stable if they remain at over or equal to 80% of values determined at pre-treatment evaluation visit or immediately prior to mobilization before the administration of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor.
