Gene Therapy in Patients with Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia
Open accessAbstract
Background Donor availability and transplantation-related risks limit the broad use of allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation in patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia. After previously establishing that lentiviral transfer of a marked β-globin (β A-T87Q ) gene could substitute for long-term red-cell transfusions in a patient with β-thalassemia, we wanted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of such gene therapy in patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia. Methods In two phase 1-2 studies, we obtained mobilized autologous CD34+ cells from 22 patients (12 to 35 years of age) with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia and transduced the cells ex vivo with LentiGlobin BB305 vector, which encodes adult hemoglobin (HbA) with a T87Q amino acid substitution (HbA T87Q ). The cells were then reinfused after the patients had undergone myeloablative busulfan conditioning. We subsequently monitored adverse events, vector integration, and levels of replication-competent lentivirus. Efficacy assessments included levels of total hemoglobin and HbA T87Q , transfusion requirements, and average vector copy number. Results At a median of 26 months (range, 15 to 42) after infusion of the gene-modified cells, all but 1 of the 13 patients who had a non-β 0 /β 0 genotype had stopped receiving red-cell transfusions; the levels of HbA T87Q ranged from 3.4 to 10.0 g per deciliter, and the levels of total hemoglobin ranged from 8.2 to 13.7 g per deciliter.

“Limited changes in the LentiGlobin vector (HPV569 vs. BB305) did not significantly alter the expression of β A-T87Q -globin per integrated vector copy, but they contributed (along with changes in vector manufacturing) to an increase in vector titers by a factor of approximately 4. 14,24,37”

A patient counted as transfusion-free was still receiving transfusions
MajorThe discussion says all seven patients with HbA T87Q of at least 8 g/dl had been free from transfusion for more than a year. Table 2 lists Patient 1103 at 8.7 g/dl but says the patient was still receiving transfusions.
“Of the 22 treated patients, 7 expressed at least 8 g per deciliter of HbA T87Q , including 3 patients with a β 0 /β 0 genotype or the severe IVS1-110 mutation; all have been free from transfusion for more than 1 year.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
