One-Time gene therapy could free kids from lifelong blood transfusions

NCT ID NCT05356195

Summary

This study is testing whether a single treatment using genetically modified stem cells can help children with severe beta-thalassemia become independent from regular blood transfusions. Researchers collect the child's own blood stem cells, use gene editing technology to correct the genetic defect, then return the modified cells to the patient. The main goal is to see if participants can go at least 12 consecutive months without needing any blood transfusions after receiving the treatment.
