Brief Summary

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

This study evaluated a genome-edited, autologous, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) product - OTQ923 to reduce the biologic activity of BCL11A, increasing fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and reducing complications of sickle cell disease.

Detailed Description

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

CADPT03A12101 was a multicenter, multi-part, first-in-human, proof-of-concept, open label non-randomized, clinical study in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) subjects. This study included apheresis of mobilized hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing and expansion, followed by myeloablative conditioning and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) with follow-up for a minimum of one year and up to two years.

The study was divided into the following parts:

* Part A - Adult subjects were dosed with OTQ923.
* Part B - Assessment of OTQ923 in pediatric patients, however Part B was not opened.
