Phase 1: testing autologous bone marrow derived CD34+ HSPCs electroporated with BCL11A enhancer targeting Cas9 ribonucleoprotein for Sickle Cell Disease

A promising approach for the treatment of genetic diseases is called gene therapy. Gene therapy is a relatively new field of medicine that uses genetic material (mostly deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)) from the patient to treat his or her own disease.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07708350 · Daniel Bauer · enrollment listed as 5

What this phase means

Phase 1: the first tests in people. The main question is safety and dose, not whether it cures the condition. Groups are small. Side effects are watched 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 autologous bone marrow derived CD34+ HSPCs electroporated with BCL11A enhancer targeting Cas9 ribonucleoprotein, or Sequencing Assay for Variant rs114518452. The registry lists allocation as na. A promising approach for the treatment of genetic diseases is called gene therapy.

They plan to enroll about 5 people at Boston. Taking part typically means an infusion or injection of a biologic, using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
