One banked product, several SCID genotypes.

Developmental invisibility · Durable graft

Transplant is curative in SCID when access is timely — but a donor search costs weeks, and gene therapy reaches only selected genotypes at selected centers. A banked donor product is genotype-agnostic and available on demand.

The need

Timing decides the outcome.

SCID is a pediatric emergency. Outcomes depend heavily on how quickly a child reaches transplant, and only a minority of countries screen newborns for it today.

A product that is already banked, engineered and released removes the donor search from the critical path.

The approach

Invisible while engrafting, normal once mature.

Developmental invisibility protects the graft through engraftment, then hands back a fully functional immune system: HLA class I is restored as the cells mature, so the reconstituted immune compartment behaves normally.

Path

A rare-disease cell & gene therapy route.

Regulatory route

Cell & gene therapy IND path, developed for rare-disease and pediatric transplant settings.

Evidence package

CD34+ HSPC validation · multilineage immune reconstitution · genome-editing and insertion safety.

Execution

Children's National Hospital advisory relationship, into the U.S. pediatric transplant network.

Regulatory routes shown are planning hypotheses, not approval claims. Children's National is an advisory relationship, not a signed partnership.
