Brief Summary

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

This is a single-dose, open-label study in pediatric participants with TDT. The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous CRISPR-Cas9 modified CD34+ human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (hHSPCs) (CTX001).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Diagnosis of TDT as defined by:

* Documented homozygous 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 mL/kilograms (kg)/year of packed RBC transfusions in the prior 24 months before signing of consent (or the last rescreening for patients going through repeat screening) or, for participants initiating transfusion therapy \<24 months before signing of consent, requirement for packed RBC transfusion at least every 3 to 4 weeks for ≥6 months
* Eligible for autologous stem cell transplant as per investigator's judgment.

Exclusion Criteria

* 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)
* Participants with associated α-thalassemia and \>1 alpha deletion, or alpha multiplications
* Participants with sickle cell β-thalassemia variant
* Clinically significant and active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection as determined by the investigator
