Extractions: By Tabitha M. Powledge In September, Jesse Gelsinger, a teenage patient undergoing experimental gene therapy for a rare genetic disorder, died at the Institute for Human Gene Therapy at the University of Pennsylvania. People die during experimental treatments all the time because they are usually terribly sick. But Jesse was not particularly ill, and his father says the researchers played up the potential benefits of the study and played down the potential risks. The researchers deny this, so Jesse's father is talking about filing suit.
Gene Therapy Study Likely To Resume - International Herald Tribune NEW YORK U.S. regulators have given permission for a company to resume a gene therapy study in which a woman died, the company was expected to announce http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/11/26/america/gene.php

The death had threatened to be another black eye for gene therapy, a field that has not had much success in treating disease and that suffered a setback in 1999 when a teenager died while participating in a clinical trial at the University of Pennsylvania. A spokeswoman for the Food and Drug Administration said it could not comment on its communications with companies involving drugs in clinical trials. The agency halted the trial in July after the death of the woman, Jolee Mohr, 36, of Taylorville, Illinois.

The direct cause of her death appeared to be a fungal infection, histoplasmosis, according to testimony at a review of her case in September by an advisory committee to the National Institutes of Health. But the committee said it was too early to conclude that the gene therapy had not been a factor.
Gene Therapy To Repair Injured Tendon-Health/Science-The Times Of LONDON A research team from University of Rochester Medical Centre is developing freezedried implants loaded with gene therapy solution that can help http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/HealthScience/Gene_therapy_to_repair_injured_
Extractions: Tendons are elastic cords that anchor muscle to bone and enable flexing muscle to move limbs. In many standard repair attempts, surgeons implant an autograft, a piece of tendon from elsewhere in the same patient. Along with requiring patients to sacrifice tendon, the problem with 'live' autografts is that both the graft and the graft site 'know' they have been injured. That signals immune cells and chemicals to rush into the graft site, seeking to fight infection. Unfortunately, those same processes cause inflammation and scarring, which in turn cause implanted tendon to stick to the joint. To work properly, the tendon must be free to glide across the joint. Tendon adhesions, a longstanding post-surgical problem, cause pain and permanently limit range of motion.

The Scientist : Gene Therapy Trial On Hold As the US Food and Drug Administration prepares to investigate the death of a patient in a phase I/II gene therapy trial for inflammatory arthritis, http://www.the-scientist.com/news/home/53453/
Extractions: By Chandra Shekhar NEWS [Published 31st July 2007 04:57 PM GMT] As the US Food and Drug Administration prepares to investigate the death of a patient in a phase I/II gene therapy trial for inflammatory arthritis, researchers in the field say the treatment's delivery vector, an adeno-associated virus (AAV), was unlikely to be the culprit. "Vectors in this class have been used on hundreds of patients over the last 12 years, and are not associated with acute toxicity," said Terence Flotte of the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. Flotte has been a principal investigator in several clinical trials of AAV-based gene therapy, but is not associated with the trial in question. "I've never seen anything like this," he told The Scientist . "Whatever this is, it's unusual."

A three-year-old boy has developed leukaemia as a result of gene therapy, Great Ormond Street children's hospital in London said yesterday. The boy, who was born without an immune system, was given gene therapy as a baby to save his life.
