Phase 2 Study of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Transfer Inducing Fetal Hemoglobin in Sickle Cell Disease
Boston Children's Hospital is conducting a gene therapy clinical trial for sickle cell disease (SCD). This project is part of an agreement between CIRM and the National Heart, Lung, and…
A Phase 1 Study of ECT-001 Expanded Cord Blood and Myeloablative Regimen with Reduced Toxicity in Patients with Severe Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder caused by a single gene mutation that results in the production of "sickle" shaped red blood cells. It affects an estimated…
Treatment of sickle cell disease by induction of mixed chimerism and immune tolerance using CD4+ T-depleted haploidentical blood stem cell transplant
Scientists at the City of Hope are conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial testing a stem cell-based therapy for adult patients with severe sickle cell disease (SCD) - a chronic, debilitating…
Clinical Trial of Stem Cell Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by a genetic mutation in the hemoglobin gene which causes red blood cells to "sickle" under conditions of low oxygen. SCD affects 1:500 African-Americans and…
Phase 2 Study of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Transfer Inducing Fetal Hemoglobin in Sickle Cell Disease
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Autologous CD34+ cells transduced ex vivo with the BCH_BB694 LCR(-HS4) bGp D12shmiR lentiviral vector Indication Sickle cell disease with severe phenotype. Therapeutic Mechanism Silencing of beta-sickle…
A Phase 1 Study of ECT-001 Expanded Cord Blood and Myeloablative Regimen with Reduced Toxicity in Patients with Severe Sickle Cell Disease.
Therapeutic Candidate or Device ECT-001 graft contains more stem and immune cells than conventional cord blood graft, leading to prompt recovery and better outcomes for patients. Indication Severe Sickle Cell…
Transplantation of CRISPR-CAS9 Corrected Hematopoietic Stem Cells (CRISPR_SCD001) in Patients with Severe Sickle Cell Disease
Therapeutic Candidate or Device CRISPR corrected blood stem cells are manufactured from persons with severe sickle cell disease and returned by transplant to the same person Indication Persons with sickle…
