Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a non-randomized, open label, single-site, single-dose, phase 1 study in up to 5 participants (between 5 and 35 years of age, inclusive) with Transfusion-dependent α-thalassemia. The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using GMCN-508A Drug Product [autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells transduced with GMCN-508A lentiviral vector encoding the human α-globin gene].

6. Any major medical disease, laboratory test abnormality or mental illness that would render the participant ineligible for the study.
7. Immediate family member with a known Familial Cancer Syndrome.
8. Prior receipt of gene therapy, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
