A Phase I Study of Adenovirus-Mediated Transfer of the Human Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Gene to a Lung Segment of Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis
10 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
A third-generation adenoviral vector containing recombinant human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene was delivered by bronchoscope in escalating doses to the conducting airway of 11 volunteers with cystic fibrosis. Assessments of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), efficiency of gene transfer, and cell-mediated and humoral immune responses to vector administration were performed. DLT,...
