Study summary

This is an interventional study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (HSPCs) transduced with lentiviral vector encoding functional hemoglobin subunit beta (HBB) gene in patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.

Read the detailed description

The participant's autologous HSPCs will be transduced with the self-inactivating lentiviral vector, carrying the functional HBB gene.

Study duration per participant is approximately 27 months including an approximately 30-day screening/baseline period, an approximately 60-day mobilization and product manufacture, an approximately 10-day myeloablative conditioning, 1 treatment day, and an approximately 24-month study observation period.

The endpoints will be used to assess the safety and efficacy profiles in patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Time and duration of the subject's hemoglobin (Hb)≥9.0 g/dL without receiving red blood cell infusion

    Time frame: From baseline to Month 24

Secondary outcomes

  1. The prevalence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Participants are monitored for safety from baseline up to the end of the follow-up period.

    Time frame: From baseline to Month 24

  2. The reduction of red blood cells (RBCs) transfusion requirement after product infusion compared to previous transfusion records

    The annual number of RBCs transfusions prior to product infusion will be compared to the annual number of RBCs transfusions post-infusion, and the requirement reduction duration should be reported.

    Time frame: From infusion to Month 24

  3. Number of days required to achieve successful neutrophil and platelet engraftment

    Neutrophil engraftment is defined as the time to the first of 3 consecutive days of absolute neutrophil counts (ANC)≥0.5×10\^9/L post-infusion without transfusion. Platelet engraftment is defined as the time to the first of 3 consecutive days of platelet values≥20×10\^9/L post-infusion without transfusion.

    Time frame: From infusion to Month 24

  4. Vector copy number (VCN) in peripheral blood over time

    Quantification of the lentiviral vector copy number in individual peripheral blood cells will be conducted to measure the transduction of HSPCs.

    Time frame: From baseline to Month 24
