Authorised Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT)

A Phase 3b Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of a Single Dose of Autologous CRISPR Cas9 Modified CD34+ Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (CTX001) in Subjects with Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia or Severe Sickle Cell Disease

EU CTIS ID: 2024-514641-12-00

What this study is testing

To assess HbF levels over time, after a single dose of autologous CRISPR/Cas9 modified CD34+ human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (hHSPCs)(CTX001) in adolescent and adult subjects with either Transfusion dependent β-Thalassemia (TDT) or severe sickle cell disease (SCD)

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Participants with TDT and SCD: Eligible for autologous stem cell transplant as per investigator's judgment.
  • Participants with TDT: Diagnosis of TDT as defined by: Documented homozygous β-thalassemia or compound heterozygous β-thalassemia including β-thalassemia/hemoglobin E (HbE). Participants can be enrolled based on historical data, but a confirmation of the genotype using the study central laboratory will be required before busulfan conditioning History of at least 100 milliliter (mL)/kilograms (kg)/year or 10 units/year of packed red blood cells (RBC) transfusions in the prior 2 years before signing the consent or the last rescreening for patients going through re-screening
  • Participants with SCD: Diagnosis of severe SCD as defined by: Documented SCD genotypes History of at least two severe VOCs events per year for the previous two years prior to enrollment

You likely can't join if

  • Participants with TDT and SCD: A willing and healthy 10/10 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor is available per investigator's judgement Prior hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) Clinically significant and active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection as determined by the investigator
  • Participants with TDT: Participants with associated α-thalassemia and >1 alpha deletion, or alpha multiplications Participants with sickle cell β-thalassemia variant
  • Participants with SCD: History of untreated moyamoya syndrome or presence of moyamoya syndrome at screening
