About this trial

This is a non-randomized, open label, single-dose study in up to 41 participants with β-thalassemia major. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of KL003 cell injection in subjects with β-thalassemia major.

Secondary outcomes

1

The proportion of participants achieved Transfusion Independence (TI)for at least 6 months

TI 6 is defined as Hb ≥ 90.0 g/L after reinfusion and without disease-related routine blood transfusion for 6 months

Time frame
From time of KL003 infusion through Month 24
2

The proportion of participants achieved TI 12

TI 12 is defined as Hb ≥ 90.0 g/L after reinfusion and without disease-related routine blood transfusion for 12 months

Time frame
