Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of CTX001 in Pediatric Participants With Severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)

Description

This is a single-dose, open-label study in pediatric participants with severe SCD and hydroxyurea (HU) failure or intolerance. The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous CRISPR-Cas9 modified CD34+ human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (hHSPCs) (CTX001).

Conditions

Sickle Cell Disease, Hydroxyurea Failure, Hydroxyurea Intolerance, Hemoglobinopathies, Hematological Diseases
