Thalassemia Major
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a single arm, open label, single-dose, phase 1/2 study in up to 5 participants with β-thalassemia major.The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment with γ-globin reactivated autologous hematopoietic stem cells in subjects with β-thalassemia major.
Detailed description
γ-globin reactivated autologous hematopoietic stem cells will be manufactured using Glycosylase Base Editors. Subject participation for this study will be 2 year. Subjects who enroll in this study will be asked to participate in a subsequent long-term follow up study that will monitor the safety and efficacy of the treatment they receive for up to 15 years post-transplant.
Interventions
gene edited autologous hematopoietic stem cells with γ-globin expression; BRL-103
