Sickle cell gene therapy shows promise in reducing pain crises
NCT ID NCT05353647
First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026
Summary
This study tests a gene therapy that modifies a patient's own blood stem cells to increase fetal hemoglobin, a healthy type that prevents sickling. The goal is to reduce or eliminate severe pain crises in people with sickle cell disease. The trial involves 25 participants aged 13 to 40 with severe disease, and uses a virus to deliver the genetic change. While the approach aims for long-term benefit, patients may still require ongoing care, so it is classified as disease control.
