Brief Summary:
This is an open label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of β-globin Restored Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells in ß-Thalassemia Major Patients

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
β-Thalassemia Major Biological: β-globin restored autologous HSC Phase 1

Detailed Description:
Subjects with ß-Thalassemia major will be recruited and their autologous hematopoietic stem cells will be collected and modified with LentiHBBT87Q system to restore the β-globin expression. After conditioning, the β-globin restored autologous hematopoietic stem cells will be infused back to patients, and a 2 years follow up visit will be conducted and the data will be collected. Participants in this study will be also asked to participant in a subsequent follow up study that will monitor the long-term safety and efficacy of the treatment for up to 13 years post-transplantation.

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. Frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 0-100 days ]
    The number and the percentage of adverse events related to transplantation in 100 days will be summarized according to NCI CTCAE 5.0.

  2. Overall survival [ Time Frame: 0-24 months ]
    Number of patients alive through the whole trial will be record.

  3. Proportion of engraftments [ Time Frame: 0-24 months ]
    Neutrophil count [ANC] >=500 /mm3 for 3 consecutive days and platelet count [PLT] >20,000/mm3 for7 consecutive days.

  4. Replication competent lentivirus (RCL) [ Time Frame: 0-24 months ]
    The percentage of RCL should be negative in the 24 months after transplant.

  5. Dynamics of viral integration sites (VIS) [ Time Frame: 0-24 months ]
    Evaluation of the percentage of participants without abnormal clonal proliferation and polyclonal engraftment at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after transplant. More than 1000 VIS retrieved from peripheral blood should be checked.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The average Insertion copy number (VCN) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells [ Time Frame: 18-24 Months ]
    The average insertion copy number (VCN) should be ≥0.1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

  2. The expression level of exogenous adult hemoglobin [ Time Frame: 18-24 Months ]
    Exogenous adult hemoglobin will be evaluated by globin chains and hemoglobin synthesis on peripheral blood by HPLC and the exogenous adult hemoglobin level is ≥2.0g/dL.

  3. Change from baseline in annualized frequency and volume of packed RBC transfusions [ Time Frame: 18-24 Months ]
    Compare the annualized number of pRBC transfusions before gene therapy with the Month 6 and Month 24 period after transplant, the percentage change will be recorded.
