Betibeglogene autotemcel |
Betibeglogene autotemcel adds functional copies of a modified β-globin gene into the patients' HSCs through transduction of autologous CD34+ cells with BB305 LVV, thereby addressing the underlying genetic cause of the disease. After betibeglogene autotemcel infusion, transduced CD34+ HSCs engraft in the bone marrow and differentiate to produce RBCs containing biologically active βA-T87Q-globin (a modified β-globin protein) that will combine with α-globin to produce functional Hb containing βA-T87Q-globin (HbAT87Q). |
