Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of subjects achieving transfusion independence for at least 12 consecutive months (TI12) [ Time Frame: From 60 days after last RBC transfusion up to 24 months post-CTX001 infusion] ]
  2. Proportion of subjects with engraftment (first day of 3 consecutive measurements of absolute neutrophil count [ANC] ≥500/µL on three different days) [ Time Frame: Within 42 days after CTX001 infusion ]
  3. Time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment [ Time Frame: Days post-infusion to engraftment ]
  4. Frequency and severity of collected adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Signing of informed consent through Month 24 visit ]
  5. Incidence of transplant-related mortality (TRM) [ Time Frame: Baseline (pre-transfusion) to 100 days and 1 year post-CTX001 infusion ]
  6. All-cause mortality [ Time Frame: Signing of informed consent through Month 24 visit ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of subjects achieving transfusion independence for at least 6 consecutive months (TI6) [ Time Frame: From 60 days after last RBC transfusion up to 24 months post-CTX001 infusion ]
  2. Proportion of subjects achieving at least 95 percent (%), 90%, 85%, 75%, and 50% reduction from baseline in annualized transfusions 60 days after CTX001 infusion [ Time Frame: From Day 60 up to 24 months post-CTX001 infusion ]
  3. Relative change from baseline in transfusions 60 days after CTX001 infusion [ Time Frame: From Day 60 up to 24 months post-CTX001 infusion ]
  4. Duration of transfusion free in subjects who have achieved TI12 [ Time Frame: From 60 days after last RBC transfusion up to 24 months post-CTX001 infusion ]
  5. Proportion of alleles with intended genetic modification in peripheral blood leukocytes over time [ Time Frame: Day 1 CTX001 infusion through Month 24 visit ]
  6. Proportion of alleles with intended genetic modification present in CD34+ cells of bone marrow over time [ Time Frame: Day 1 CTX001 infusion through Month 24 visit ]
  7. Change in fetal hemoglobin concentration over time [ Time Frame: Baseline (pre-transfusion) through Month 24 visit ]
  8. Change in total hemoglobin concentration over time [ Time Frame: Baseline (pre-transfusion) through Month 24 visit ]
  9. Change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) from baseline over time using EuroQol Questionnaire (5 dimensions - 5 levels of severity - EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: Screening visit through Month 24 visit ]
    The EQ-5D-5L Questionnaire consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, and 5 levels: no problems to extreme problems. The subject marks the most appropriate statement in each dimension, resulting in a 1-digit number for that dimension. The digits can be combined in a 5-digit number describing the subject's health state. The EQ VAS records the subject's self-rated health on a 100-point VAS, endpoints labelled "the best health you can imagine" and "the worst health you can imagine."

  10. Change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) from baseline over time using the Functional assessment of cancer therapy-bone marrow transplant questionnaire (FACT-BMT) [ Time Frame: Screening visit through Month 24 visit ]
    The FACT-BMT Questionnaire includes physical, social, family, emotional, and functional well-being, and treatment specific concerns of bone marrow transplantation. Each statement has a 5-point Likert-type response scale ranging from 0=not at all to 4=very much. The subject marks one number per line as it applies to the past 7 days. Questionnaires are scored; the higher the score, the better the QOL.

  11. Change in patient reported outcome (PRO) over time assessed using EQ-5D-Youth (EQ-5D-Y) [ Time Frame: Screening visit through Month 24 visit ]
  12. Change in PRO over time assessed using pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL) [ Time Frame: Screening visit through Month 24 visit ]
  13. Changes in liver iron concentration (LIC) and cardiac iron content (CIC) and ferritin parameters of iron overload [ Time Frame: Screening visit through Month 24 visit ]
  14. Proportion of subjects receiving iron chelation therapy [ Time Frame: 1 month post-CTX001 infusion through Month 24 visit ]

  • Eligible for autologous stem cell transplant as per investigator's judgment.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • A willing and healthy 10/10 Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-matched related donor is available per investigator's judgement.
  • Prior allo-HSCT.
  • Subjects with associated α-thalassemia and >1 alpha deletion or alpha multiplications.
  • Subjects with sickle cell beta thalassemia variant.
  • Clinically significant and active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection as determined by the investigator.
  • White blood cell (WBC) count <3 × 10^9/L or platelet count <50 × 10^9/L not related to hypersplenism.

Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
