What the study is about
This is a single-dose, open-label study in participants with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) or severe sickle cell disease (SCD). The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous CRISPR-Cas9 modified CD34+ human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (hHSPCs) using CTX001.
Being studied: CTX001
Conditions: Beta-Thalassemia; Thalassemia; Hematologic Diseases; Genetic Diseases, Inborn; Hemoglobinopathies; Sickle Cell Disease; Sickle Cell Anemia

Key Inclusion Criteria
- Participants with TDT and SCD:
- Eligible for autologous stem cell transplant as per investigator's judgment.
- Participants with TDT:
- Diagnosis of TDT as defined by:
- Documented homozygous β-thalassemia or compound heterozygous β-thalassemia including β-thalassemia/hemoglobin E (HbE). Participants can be enrolled based on historical data, but a confirmation of the genotype using the study central laboratory will be required before busulfan conditioning
- History of at least 100 milliliter (mL)/kilograms (kg)/year or 10 units/year of packed red blood cells (RBC) transfusions in the prior 2 years before signing the consent or the last rescreening for patients going through re-screening
- Participants with SCD:
- Diagnosis of severe SCD as defined by:
- Documented SCD genotypes
- History of at least two severe VOCs events per year for the previous two years prior to enrollment
Key Exclusion Criteria
- Participants with TDT and SCD:
- A willing and healthy 10/10 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor is available per investigator's judgement
- Prior hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
- Clinically significant and active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection as determined by the investigator
- Participants with TDT:
- Participants with associated α-thalassemia and >1 alpha deletion, or alpha multiplications
- Participants with sickle cell β-thalassemia variant
- Participants with SCD:
- History of untreated moyamoya syndrome or presence of moyamoya syndrome at screening
Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
