Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of BRL-101 in Subjects With Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia

A Phase 1/2 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Single Dose Intravenous Infusion of BRL-101 in Subjects With Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia

This is a non-randomized, open label, multi-site, single-dose, phase 1/2 study in subjects with Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia (TDT). The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous CRISPR-Cas9 modified CD34+ human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (hHSPCs) (BRL-101)

This clinical trial is a multi-center, single-arm, single-dose, open-label study without dose escalation. The proposed dose is ≥ 3 × 106 CD34 + cells/kg administered as a single intravenous infusion. The primary objective of Phase 1 is to explore the safety of the study drug in different age groups. For subjects of each age group, myeloablative conditioning and dosing of the remaining subjects was initiated only after completion of dosing and safety observations and assessments in sentinel subjects. The Phase 2 primary objective was to determine the effectiveness of BRL-101 administered intravenously to patients with TDT.
