Study summary

This is a prospective, longitudinal, non-therapeutic study which includes routine assessment for long-term effects, as per FDA guidelines after receipt of an allogeneic HCT or autologous genetically modified cellular products for hemoglobin disorders.

Primary objective:

- To provide long term follow up, for individuals with hemoglobin disorders undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) or receipt of an autologous genetically modified cellular product to treat their hemoglobinopathy. For individuals receiving a genetically modified cellular product, this long term follow up study is in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Read the detailed description

This protocol will provide a mechanism to appropriately monitor individuals with hemoglobin disorders that have received an allogenic HCT or an autologous genetically modified cellular product for hemoglobinopathies. Monitoring will include potential long-term adverse effects after receipt of these treatments, as well as long-term monitoring after the receipt of the genetically modified cellular product.

In context

Hemoglobinopathies

100 studies on the registry are indexed under Hemoglobinopathies; 29 are open to participants now.

This study's planned enrollment of 200 is below the median of 350 across 29 observational studies indexed under Hemoglobinopathies.

Study population

200 patients with hemoglobin disorders that have received, or are planning to receive, either a genetically modified cell product or allogenic HCT will be invited to enroll on this long term follow up study.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Receipt, or planned receipt, of an HSCT or infusion of genetically modified autologous cells for disorders within 15 years prior to enrollment

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability or unwillingness of research participant and/or legal guardian/ representative to provide written .
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To provide ongoing review of long-term clinical and psychosocial outcomes and late effects of hematopoietic stem cell transplant and gene therapy recipients at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

    Time frame: long term follow up. Can also be stated as "up to 15 years after transplant"

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jan 2035, 115 months after the start.

Of 21 observational studies under Hemoglobinopathies, half reached primary completion within 53 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 68. This study's planned 115 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 15, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
