Globin gene addition | Addition of modified β-globin gene (bT87Q; LentiGlobin=lovotibeglogene autotemcel; bb1111) | bluebird bio | Phase 3; recruiting | NCT02140554 and NCT04293185 | 35 Group C patients infused by July, 2021, with a median duration of follow-up 20·9 months (range 8·5–28·5); 28 (97%) of 29 evaluable patients were free of severe VOCs |
Globin gene addition | Addition of γ-globin gene (ARU-1801) | Aruvant | Phase 1/2; not recruiting | NCT02186418 | As of November, 2021, four patients have been infused; three (75%) patients with >12 months follow-up had reduced or absent VOCs |
Globin gene addition | Addition of modified β-globin gene, (bAS3; DREPAGLOBE) | Assistance Publique—Hôpitaux de Paris | Phase 1/2; not recruiting | NCT03964792 | No clinical trial results posted yet |
Globin gene addition | Addition of modified β-globin gene (bAS3-FB) | University of California, Los Angeles | Phase 1; recruiting | NCT02247843 | No clinical trial results posted yet |
HbF induction | shRNA knockdown of BCL11A gene (BCH-BB694) | Boston Children’s Hospital | Phase 2; recruiting | NCT03282656 and NCT05353647 | Ten patients infused by November, 2022, with a median duration of follow-up of 30·5 months (range 2–50); nine (90%) of ten patients had reduced or absent VOCs |
VOCs=vaso-occlusive crises. shRNA=short hairpin RNA.
