Clinical research
Being tested in people in registered clinical trials. Being in trials is not evidence that a treatment works or is safe.
Bu denemenin test ettiği şey
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.

Bir deneme sonucunun ne anlama geldiği, ne anlama gelmediği
Erken aşama sonuçları az sayıda katılımcıdan ve kısa takip sürelerinden elde edilir. Daha fazla kişiyle ve daha fazla zamanla değişebilirler; ayrıca katılımcı aranan, devam eden ya da tamamlanmış bir araştırma, bir tedavinin işe yaradığını kanıtlamış sayılmaz. Katılım kriterleri katıdır; uygunluğa bir web sitesi değil, araştırma merkezi karar verir.
