Summary

This early-phase study tests the safety of a one-time gene-edited stem cell treatment for people with severe sickle cell disease. The therapy uses CRISPR technology to boost fetal hemoglobin, which may reduce painful crises and other complications. Up to 25 participants aged 18 to 24 will receive their own edited stem cells and be monitored for engraftment and side effects.
