Clinical trials of gene therapy for sickle cell disease were started in 2014. [227] [228] In February LentiGlobin BB305, a gene therapy treatment undergoing clinical trials for treatment of beta thalassemia gained FDA "breakthrough" status after several patients were able to forgo the frequent blood transfusions usually required to treat the ...
Gene therapy for hemoglobinopathies was first trialled in 2014 on a single patient with sickle cell disease (a fault in the beta globin gene), [77] and followed by clinical trials in which a number of patients with either sickle cell or beta thalassemia were successfully treated. [78]
Lovotibeglogene autotemcel, sold under the brand name Lyfgenia, is a lentiviral gene therapy used for the treatment of sickle cell disease. [1] [3] [4] [5]The most common side effects include stomatitis (mouth sores of the lips, mouth, and throat), low levels of platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells, and febrile neutropenia (fever and low white blood cell count), consistent with ...
“The use of the word ‘cure’ in relation to sickle cell disease or thalassemia has, up until now, been incompatible,” she said in a statement, calling the MHRA's approval of gene therapy ...
Regulators on Friday approved two gene therapies for sickle cell disease that doctors hope can cure the painful, inherited blood disorder that afflicts mostly Black people in the U.S. The Food and ...
With the discovery of various types of immune-related disorders, there is a need for diversification in prevention and treatment. Developments in the field of gene therapy are being studied to be included in the scope of this treatment, but of course more research is needed to increase the positive results and minimize the negative effects of gene therapy applications.

Victoria Gray was the first patient ever to be treated with the gene-editing tool CRISPR for sickle-cell disease. [1]This marked the initial indication that a cure is attainable for individuals born with sickle-cell disease and another severe blood disorder, beta-thalassemia.
Gene therapy for hemoglobinopathies was first trialled in 2014 on a single patient with sickle cell disease (a fault in the beta globin gene), [92] and followed by clinical trials in which a number of patients with either sickle cell or beta thalassemia were successfully treated. [93]
