Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an open label, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study in approximately eight adults with severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using BIVV003.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subject participation in this study will be approximately 136 weeks. Enrolled subjects will be asked to participate in a separate long-term follow-up study to monitor the safety and efficacy of BIVV003 treatment for a total of 15 years post-transplant.

BIVV003

Participants will receive plerixafor as subcutaneous (SQ) administration followed by myeloablative conditioning therapy with intravenous (IV) busulfan. BIVV003 will then be administered as a 1-time IV infusion of autologous Cluster of Differentiation 34 + Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cell (CD34+HSPC) transfected ex vivo with zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNAs) targeting the B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11A (BCL11A) locus.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Plerixafor

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Plerixafor subcutaneous injection will be administered prior to apheresis.

Busulfan

Intervention Type DRUG

Busulfan IV infusion will be administered as myeloablative conditioning therapy.

BIVV003

Intervention Type GENETIC

BIVV003 will be administered as an IV infusion following myeloablative conditioning with busulfan.
