Clinical research
Being tested in people in registered clinical trials. Being in trials is not evidence that a treatment works or is safe.
Apa yang diuji dalam uji klinis ini
The trial that started clinical gene editing. Years before CRISPR was a tool, patients with HIV had their own immune cells taken out, had a gene edited with zinc finger nucleases, and had them returned. It showed that a permanent, targeted edit could be made in a patient's cells and given back safely.
A Phase 1 study of autologous CD4 T cells with CCR5 disrupted by zinc finger nucleases in people with HIV. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, it reported that infusion was safe and that modified cells persisted, establishing the clinical feasibility of therapeutic genome editing.

Apa yang dimaksud dan tidak dimaksud oleh hasil uji klinis
Hasil fase awal berasal dari jumlah peserta yang kecil dan waktu tindak lanjut yang singkat. Hasilnya dapat berubah seiring bertambahnya peserta dan waktu, dan uji klinis yang sedang merekrut, aktif, atau bahkan sudah selesai belum membuktikan bahwa suatu pengobatan berhasil. Kriteria pendaftaran sangat ketat; kelayakan ditentukan oleh pihak uji klinis, bukan oleh sebuah situs web.
