Gene-modified stem cell treatment for transfusion-dependent thalassemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving you your own (autologous) gene-modified blood stem cells can improve transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia and its safety. It may help people who do not have a fully matched donor and need an alternative approach to care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 6 to 35, and you can sign informed consent.
- You have confirmed transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (you need regular red blood cell transfusions).
- You must be able to keep taking your current iron chelation medicine on schedule.
- Your blood/marrow genetic and leukemia screening (gene panel) must not show certain cancer-related findings.
- You cannot have a fully HLA-matched donor available for transplant (unless the monitoring team says it’s okay).
- You must not have major infections, serious organ problems, low blood counts, or certain past treatments.

This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own blood stem cells, edited with CRISPR technology, to reduce or eliminate the need for blood transfusions in people with beta-thalassemia.
This trial tests a new gene-editing treatment called CS-101 for people with beta-thalassemia major who need regular blood transfusions. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and can reduce or eliminate the need for transfusions.
This trial tests a one-time treatment that uses your own (autologous) stem cells that have been changed by gene methods, then returned to you to help manage transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. It aims to check safety and whether it can reduce the need for frequent blood transfusions or improve blood health.
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy using your own blood stem cells to treat severe beta-thalassemia. It may help you stop needing regular blood transfusions.
This trial tests a new treatment called KL003 for people with beta-thalassemia who need regular blood transfusions. The treatment uses your own stem cells (collected from your blood) to try to reduce or stop the need for transfusions.
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy using your own stem cells to help you produce healthy red blood cells and reduce or eliminate the need for regular blood transfusions. It is for people with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia who are between 3 and 35 years old.
