Beta-thalassemia major

This study follows 160 children and adults with beta-thalassemia or sickle cell disease who received a one-time treatment of their own CRISPR-edited stem cells (CTX001). The goal is to monitor long-term safety, including any new cancers or blood disorders, and to see how well the…

This phase 3 study tests whether mitapivat, an oral medication, can safely reduce the number of blood transfusions needed by adults with transfusion-dependent alpha- or beta-thalassemia. Participants receive either mitapivat or a placebo for 48 weeks. The main goal is to see if m…

This study looks at growth problems in children with thalassemia, a blood disorder. Researchers will test a program that includes health education, nutrition plans, exercise, and support to help kids grow better. The goal is to improve height, weight, and overall well-being in 36…

This trial investigates whether a 12- to 36-week program of aerobic and strength exercises can improve body composition, muscle function, and bone density in adolescents and adults with thalassemia. Participants will follow a self-directed routine of 30 minutes of exercise, 5 day…

This early-stage trial tests a one-time gene therapy called BRL-101 for people with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia, a severe blood disorder. The treatment uses the patient's own stem cells, edited with CRISPR to boost healthy hemoglobin production. The goal is to see if a…

This phase 3 trial tests a single dose of CTX001, a CRISPR gene therapy made from the child's own blood stem cells, for children with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. The goal is to help them become transfusion-free for at least 12 months. Sixteen children will receive the…

This early-stage study tests a gene therapy for people with severe beta-thalassemia who need regular blood transfusions. The treatment modifies the patient's own blood stem cells to produce healthy hemoglobin, aiming to reduce or eliminate the need for transfusions. Six participa…

This early-stage study tests a gene therapy for adults with β-thalassemia major, a severe blood disorder requiring frequent transfusions. Doctors take the patient's own stem cells, fix the faulty gene, and return the corrected cells via an IV. A low dose of busulfan prepares the …

This study tests a special treatment for red blood cells that aims to kill the Zika virus, making transfusions safer. About 692 people who need blood transfusions will receive either treated or standard blood. The goal is to see if the treated blood works just as well and is safe…

This study looks at whether storing red blood cells in a low-oxygen environment (called hypoxic storage) can improve transfusion care for adults with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. Participants already receiving these specially stored blood cells as part of their routine…

This study follows 8 people who received a one-time gene therapy (BIVV003 for sickle cell disease or ST-400 for beta-thalassemia) to see if it remains safe and effective over many years. Researchers will track serious side effects, survival, and blood markers like hemoglobin leve…

This study tests a new approach to stem cell transplants for people with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. Patients receive a combination of umbilical cord blood and stem cells from a family member, with the cord blood chosen based on specific genetic markers rather than …
