摘要

A French gene-therapy trial that cured nine children of a severe disease, but gave two of them cancer, looks set to restart after a 22-month suspension. The trial involves children who suffer from severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID). These children lack innate defences against infections and without treatment they can only survive in isolated environments. One US gene-therapy trial for the disease has also restarted, and others are likely to resume this year. The suspension of the trials had deeply shaken the gene-therapy field, because SCID was the only disease that had ever been cured by such therapy. Researchers at the annual meeting of the American Society of Gene Therapy in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last week saw the resumption of the SCID trials as a bright spot after a long dark spell for the field.
