Title ClinicalTrials.gov Status Mechanism Notes
Gene therapies using lentiviral globin addition
  Safety and efficacy of LentiGlobin BB305 in β-thalassemia and SCD NCT02151526 Completed (March 10, 2020) Lentiviral β-A-T87Q globin vector Results published: DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1609677
  A study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the LentiGlobin BB305 drug product in severe SCD NCT02140554 Active, not recruitinga BB305 lentiviral vector encoding the human β-A-T87Q globin gene NCT03207009 and NCT02906202 related but for patients with β-thalassemia
  Gene transfer for patients with SCD NCT02186418 Active, not recruiting Autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells transduced ex vivo with gamma-globin lentiviral vector
  Safety and feasibility of gene therapy with CSL200 NCT04091737 Active, not recruiting Autologous enriched CD34+ cell fraction that contains CD34+ cells transduced with lentiviral vector encoding human γ-globinG16D and shRNA734
  Stem cell gene therapy for SCD NCT02247843 Recruiting βAS3 lentiviral vector-modified autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant
  Safety and efficacy of gene therapy of the SCD with the lentiviral vector expressing the βAS3 globin gene in patients with SCD NCT03964792 Recruiting Consists of autologous human CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells that are enriched in CD34+ cells which have been transduced ex vivo with the lentiviral vector, expressing an βAS3
  Gene transfer for SCD NCT03282656 Suspendedb Lentiviral anti-BCL11A shRNA Study paused per DSMB pending investigation of adverse event occurrence in an unrelated gene therapy study involving sickle cell patients (last update February 2021)
  A study evaluating gene therapy with BB305 lentiviral vector in SCD NCT04293185 Suspendedb CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells collected by plerixafor mobilization and apheresis, transduced with BB305 lentiviral vector encoding the human β-A-T87Q globin gene Study suspended due to the occurrence of a suspected unexpected serious adverse reaction (last update March 2021)
Gene therapies using gene editing techniques
  Transplantation of CRISPR/Cas-9 corrected hematopoietic stem cells (CRISPR_SCD001) in patients with severe SCD NCT04774536 Not yet recruiting Autologous CD34+ cell-enriched population that contains cells modified by the CRISPR/Cas-9 ribonucleoprotein
  Safety and efficacy of CRISPR/Cas-9 modified CD34+ hHSPCs NCT03745287 Recruiting Autologous CD34+ hHSPCs modified with CRISPR/Cas-9 at the erythroid lineage-specific enhancer of the BCL11A gene
  Safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BIVV003 for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with severe SCD NCT03653247 Recruiting CD34+ cells transfected ex vivo with zinc finger nuclease messenger ribonucleic acid targeting the BCL11A locus
  Safety and efficacy of genome-edited hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in SCD NCT04443907 Recruiting Genome-edited autologous HSPC investigational drug product. Drugs: OTQ923 and HIX763 Part C would include pediatric patients that received one of both experimental drugs

aCurrently not recruiting due to 2 long-term follow-up patients developed myeloid malignancies.

bCurrently suspended due to findings of NCT02140554.

βAS3 = anti-sickling beta globin gene βAS3; BCL11A = B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11A; CRISPR/Cas-9 = clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR (C) associated nuclease-9; DSMB = Data and Safety Monitoring Board; hHSPCs = human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells; SCD = sickle cell disease; shRNA = short hairpin RNA.
