About this trial

This study will be intented to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and engraftment efficacy after myeloablative preconditioning and transplantation of autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding the human βA-T87Q-globin gene in patients with transfusion-dependent (TDT) β-thalassemia.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percentage of treated participants with Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia (TDT) who achieved transfusion independence (TI) for at least 6 months

TI defined as peripheral blood weighted average hemoglobin (Hb) \> or = 9 g/dL without packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion for 60 days after BD211 treatment, and transfusion is continuously halted for 12 months.

Time frame
24 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Hb (g/dL) level between 12 and 24 months after BD211 treatment compared with baseline Hb level

Hb (g/dL) in 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 months after drug product infusion are tested and calculated.

Time frame
24 months
2

Parameters of efficacy related to TI achievement after BD211 treatment

including a. Duration to achieve TI; b. Time from BD211 infusion to last transfusion; c. Time to reach TI from BD211 infusion; d. Mean weighted Hb (g/dL) during TI; and e. Proportion of patients achieving TI at 24 month after BD211 treatment.

Time frame
24 months
3

Parameters of efficacy related to reduced blood transfusion after BD211 treatment

Including a. Using the transfusion volume from the 2 years prior to the participant's enrollment as a baseline, compared with the transfusion volume between 12 and 24 months after BD211 treatment (mL/kg/month, mL/kg/year), the proportion of participants categorized based on a reduction in transfusion volume of 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100%; b. Using the number of transfusions from the 2 years prior to the participant's enrollment as a baseline, comparing the changes in the volume of pRBC transfusions at 12 and 24 months after BD211 treatment; c. Using the transfusion requirement volume from the 2 years prior to the participant's enrollment as a baseline, comparing the changes in the pRBC transfusion requirement volume at 12 and 24 months after BD211 treatment.

Time frame
24 months
4

Parameters of iron overload after BD211 treatment

Including a. Time from the last iron-chelation treatment to the last follow-up within 24 months; b. Decrease in serum ferritin level compared from baseline to 6 months and 12 months after BD211 infusion; c. Number and proportion of participants who did not require iron-chelation treatment for at least 6 months after BD211 infusion; d. Comparison of cardiac MRI T2 values at the end of the 24 month after BD211 treatment with the baseline values.

Time frame
24 months
