This is an open label, non-randomly assigned, 2-center, phase 1/2 trial of a single infusion of sickle allele modified cluster of differentiation (CD34+) hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) in subjects with in subjects ≥12 years old to 35 years old severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The study will measure the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using CRISPR/Cas9 edited red blood cells (known as CRISPR\_SCD001 Drug Product).
Phase 2: researchers already know a roughly safe dose (from phase 1). This stage asks whether the treatment actually helps the condition, and watches side effects more closely.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are CRISPR_SCD001. The registry lists allocation as na. This is an open label, non-randomly assigned, 2-center, phase 1/2 trial of a single infusion of sickle allele modified cluster of differentiation (CD34+) hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) in subjects with in subjects ≥12 years old to 35 years old severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).
They plan to enroll about 9 people at 3 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
Transplantation of CRISPRCas9 Corrected Hematopoietic Stem Cells (CRISPR_SCD001) in Patients With Severe Sickle Cell Disease
Interventions: CRISPR_SCD001
Primary outcome (registry wording): Incidence of adverse events and grade 3 or higher serious adverse events, using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
Who it is for (from inclusion criteria)
Ages 12 Years to 35 Years
Male or female 12.00 - 34.99 years of age (at time of consent) who have one or more of the following:
2 or more episodes of splenic sequestration, defined as an acute decrease in hemoglobin by at least 2 g/dL accompanied by splenomegaly in the 2 years before enrollment
Recurrent priapism (episodes lasting at least 4 hours at least twice in the last 12 months or 3 times in the last 24 months before enrollment) recalcitrant to medical treatment
Any episode of hepatic sequestration defined as right upper quadrant pain, hepatomegaly, and rapidly decreasing hemoglobin level with hepatic dysfunction within the 2 years before enrollment
Leg ulcer recalcitrant to treatment within 2 years prior to enrollment
Participants must have adequate physical function as measured by all of the following:
Karnofsky performance score ≥60
Who the registry excludes
Participants with uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infection in the 6 weeks before enrollment (currently taking medication with evidence of progression of clinical symptoms or radiologic findings)
Participants with evidence of HIV infection or seropositivity for HIV or active hepatitis B or C
Participants who have received a Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT)
Participants who have received a solid organ transplant
Participants who have participated in another clinical trial in which the participant received an investigational or off-label use of a drug or device within 3 months prior to enrollment
Females who are pregnant or breast feeding
Participants who have had a stroke OR who are receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusions to prevent primary stroke or silent cerebral infarction
This study is not a treatment protocol and no experimental treatments are involved. Study participants may be seen as needed for clinical, translational and basic research studies, or as medically indicated.
This study will collect representative blood samples from healthy children and adults and from children and adults who have unique red blood cell features that are related to sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease is a blood disease that limits the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body.
Background: Some people with the same disorder on a genetic level have more complications than others. Researchers want to look for a link between the PKLR gene and sickle cell disease (SCD) symptoms.

What phase is NCT04774536?
Phase 1 / Phase 2. Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
Can PlainTrials tell me if I qualify for NCT04774536?
No. The inclusion and exclusion lists on this page are readable extracts of the public eligibility block. Only the study team can screen you.
