Study summary

This is a multi-center, long-term safety and efficacy follow-up study for participants with cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD) who have received Lenti-D Drug Product (eli-cel) in a parent clinical study (Study ALD-102 or Study ALD-104).

After completing a parent clinical study (approximately 2 years), eligible participants will be followed for an additional 13 years for a total of 15 years post-drug product infusion. No investigational drug product will be administered in this study.

Study population

Participants with cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD) who have received Lenti-D Drug Product in a parent clinical study will be expected to participate in this long-term follow-up study.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Provision of written for this study by the participant or participant's parent(s)/ legal guardian(s) and written informed assent by participant, if applicable
  • Have received eli-cel in a parent clinical study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • There are no exclusion criteria for this study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Groups and cohorts

  • Long-term followup

    Participants who have received Lenti-D Drug Product in a parent clinical study (bluebird bio-sponsored clinical studies ALD-102 and ALD-104) and who meet the eligibility criteria for the Study LTF-304 will be followed in this long-term followup study for 13 years (for a total of 15 years of follow-up after drug product infusion in the parent studies).

    Genetic: No interventional drug product utilized in this follow-up study

Interventions

  • GeneticNo interventional drug product utilized in this follow-up study

    Participants received a single IV infusion of Lenti-D Drug Product (also known as elivaldogene autotemcel or eli-cel) in either parent Study ALD-102 or ALD-104. The objectives of this long-term follow-up study are to assess long-term safety and efficacy following completion of participation in parent studies. Vector copy number (VCN) measurement, safety evaluations, disease-specific assessments, and assessments to monitor for long-term complications of autologous transplant are conducted in this study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Major functional disability (MFD)-free survival

    The MFDs are loss of communication, cortical blindness, tube feeding, total incontinence, wheelchair dependence, complete loss of voluntary movement.

    Time frame: 15 years post-drug-product infusion

  2. Number of participants with malignancies

    Time frame: 15 years post-drug-product infusion

  3. Number of participants who experience graft versus host disease (GVHD)

    Time frame: 15 years post-drug-product infusion

  4. Number of participants with immune-related adverse events (AEs)

    Time frame: 15 years post-drug-product infusion

  5. Number of participants with new or worsening hematologic disorders

    Time frame: 15 years post-drug-product infusion

  6. Number of participants with new or worsening neurologic disorders

    Time frame: 15 years post-drug-product infusion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants who undergo subsequent stem cell transplantation

    Time frame: 15 years post-drug-product infusion

  2. Change from baseline in neurological function score (NFS)

    The NFS is a 25-point score used to evaluate the severity of gross neurologic dysfunction in CALD by scoring 15 symptoms (functional domains) across 6 categories. Listed here are the 15 symptoms followed by their maximal score out of 25 points: a) Hearing / auditory processing problems-1, b) Aphasia / apraxia-1, c) Loss of communication-3, d) Vision impairment /field cut-1, e) Cortical blindness-2, f) Swallowing / other central nervous system (CNS) dysfunctions-2, g) Tube feeding-2, h) Running difficulties / hyperreflexia-1, i) Walking difficulties / spasticity / spastic gait (no assistance)-1, j) Spastic gait (needs assistance)-2, k) Wheelchair dependence-2, l) Complete loss of voluntary movement-3, m) Episodes of incontinence -1, n) Total incontinence-2, o) Nonfebrile seizures-1. A score of "0" denotes absence of clinical signs of cerebral disease. Maximal signs within a domain score the total of all grades within that domain.

    Time frame: 15 years post-drug-product infusion

  3. Number of participants without gadolinium enhancement (GdE) status on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    Contrast enhancement (gadolinium enhancement; GdE+) on brain MRI represents a clinically important radiographic biomarker of active neuroinflammatory disease and poor prognosis (in untreated patients). As such, assessment of the number of participants who remained negative for gadolinium enhancement (GdE-) was conducted for this outcome measure.

    Time frame: 15 years post-drug-product infusion

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 14, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
