Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two milestone treatments, Casgevy and Lyfgenia, representing the first cell-based gene therapies for the treatment of sickle cell...
On Wednesday, Kendric Cromer, a 12-year-old boy from a suburb of Washington, became the first person in the world with sickle cell disease to begin a commercially approved gene therapy that may...
The independent committee is helping the FDA think through how it should evaluate a treatment called exa-cel that could potentially cure people of sickle cell disease, a painful and deadly...
The FDA approved a groundbreaking treatment to cure sickle cell disease by using CRISPR gene-editing technology. An FDA panel said the treatment is safe enough for clinical use. Before the approval, the only cure for the disease was a bone marrow transplant.
A national, multicenter clinical trial (BMT CTN 1507) of low-dose haploidentical (half-matched) bone marrow transplant to treat severe sickle cell disease found the treatment to be safe and curative for adults with serious sickle cell-related health complications.
The only cure for painful sickle cell disease today is a bone marrow transplant. But soon there may be a new cure that attacks the disorder at its genetic source. On Tuesday, advisers to...
Advancements in gene-modification technology teach red blood cells to reproduce normal hemoglobin—to potentially cure SCD forever.
To prevent pain crises and alleviate anemia in people living with SCD, researchers, including those in our group, have been studying new ways to prevent blood cells from sickling. We believe that reducing sickling should also improve anemia as red blood cells will be less likely to breakdown.
