 Sickle cell disease - related symptoms before enrollment Six episodes of acute chest syndrome over the past 10 years and a history of a silent cerebral infarct, retinopathy, and priapism. Four vaso-occlusive episodes, 3 episodes of acute chest syndrome, and a silent cerebral infarct during the preceding 20 years. Twenty five vaso-occlusive pain episodes in the 2 years prior to enrollment.

Follow-up and outcomes
 Neutrophil engraftment Day +26 Day +20 Day +18

 AEs experienced since OTQ923 infusion 36 16 45
 AEs related to OTQ923 0 0 0
 Follow-up since OTQ923 infusion 18 months 12 months 6 months
 Sickle cell disease - related complications since OTQ923 infusion One vaso-occlusive crisis episode with acute chest syndrome occurring at 17 months after infusion. Recurrent intermittent priapism. No new stroke, or silent cerebral infarct. Continued mild hemolysis. Worsening osteonecrosis of femur. One vaso-occlusive crisis episode occurring at 12 months after infusion. No acute chest syndrome, stroke or priapism. Continued mild hemolysis. Persistent osteonecrosis of femoral head. One vaso-occlusive crisis occurring at 9 months after infusion.* Continued mild hemolysis. Persistent osteonecrosis of femoral head.

The observation period for post-treatment sickle cell–related events starts on the day of first OTQ923 infusion and ends on the day of last follow-up.

AEs, adverse events.

*

This event happened after the data cut off and hence the rest of the follow up is only up to 6 months.
