Jesse Gelsinger (1981-1999) was the first person publicly known to have died in a gene therapy clinical trial. He had ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, a genetic liver condition. In a trial at the University of Pennsylvania, he received an injection intended to correct his genetic issue but died from a severe immune response. His death raised serious ethical concerns and led to an investigation that found multiple regulatory violations by trial organizers. The incident halted gene therapy trials in the U.S. for a period, significantly impacting research in this field.
