Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of CTX001 in Pediatric Participants With Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia (TDT)

Description

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

Conditions

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Diagnosis of TDT as defined by:
  • * Documented homozygous 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 mL/kilograms (kg)/year of packed RBC transfusions in the prior 24 months before signing of consent (or the last rescreening for patients going through repeat screening) or, for participants initiating transfusion therapy \<24 months before signing of consent, requirement for packed RBC transfusion at least every 3 to 4 weeks for ≥6 months
  • * Eligible for autologous stem cell transplant as per investigator's judgment.
  • * 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)
  • * Participants with associated α-thalassemia and \>1 alpha deletion, or alpha multiplications
  • * Participants with sickle cell β-thalassemia variant
  • * Clinically significant and active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection as determined by the investigator
