5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is evaluating 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
CADPT03A12101 is a multicenter, multi-part, first-in-human, proof-of-concept, open label non-randomized, clinical study in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) subjects. This study includes 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 is divided into the following parts: Part A - Adult subjects dosed with OTQ923. Part B - Assessment of OTQ923 in pediatric patients. Part B will not be opened.
