CRISPR gene editing trial offers new hope for sickle cell patients
NCT ID NCT06506461
Summary
This early-stage study is testing the safety of a new gene editing treatment for severe sickle cell disease. Researchers will collect a patient's own blood stem cells, edit them in the lab using CRISPR technology to boost protective fetal hemoglobin, and then infuse them back. The goal is to see if this one-time treatment can safely reduce painful crises and other symptoms of the disease.
