NCT ID NCT04443907
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This early-phase study tested a one-time treatment using the patient's own genetically modified stem cells to boost fetal hemoglobin, which can reduce painful crises and other severe complications of sickle cell disease. Only 4 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated. The goal was to see if the treatment was safe and could lower disease burden, but long-term management would still be needed.
