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.

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