About this trial

This is a non-randomized, open-label, single-dose study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment with lentiviral vector encoding βA-T87Q-globin gene transduced autologous hematopoietic stem cells transfusion in subjects with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female age between 3-35 years

Diagnosis of transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia and a history of at least 100 mL/kg/year of pRBCs or ≥8 transfusions of pRBCs per year for the prior 2 years

Documented baseline, or pretransfusion, Hb level≤7 g/dL

Karnofsky performance status ≥70 for subjects≥16 years of age; Lansky performance status of ≥70 for subjects<16 years of age

Disqualifiers

Presence of clear contraindications for hematopoietic stem cell collection

Diagnosis of composite α thalassemia

A white blood cell (WBC) count <3×10^9/L, and/or platelet count <100×10^9/L not related to hypersplenism

Subjects with severe iron overload at the time of screening: severe iron overload of the liver showed by MRI, serum ferritin ≥ 5000 ng/mL, or moderate to severe iron overload of the heart
