Abstract

Two cell-based gene therapies – exagamglogene autotemcel (Casgevy – Vertex) and lovotibeglogene autotemcel (Lyfgenia – Bluebird Bio) – have been approved by the FDA for treatment of sickle cell disease in patients ≥12 years old with recurrent vaso-occlusive crises. They are the first gene therapies to be approved in the US for use in sickle cell disease; Casgevy is the first treatment to be approved in the US that uses CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology.
