Eligibility
Recruits 20 paediatric patients.
- Vulnerable Population
- Adolescents are included (the protocol and public documents list adolescent-specific SIS and ICFs and parent/guardian ICFs for both Italy and Germany). CTIS flag "isVulnerablePopulationSelected" is false, and separate adolescent and parent/guardian informed consent/assent materials are provided (adolescent ICFs and parent ICFs in country-specific languages).
Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Participants with TDT and SCD: Eligible for autologous stem cell transplant as per investigator's judgment.\n- Participants with TDT: Diagnosis of TDT as defined by: Documented homozygous β-thalassemia or compound heterozygous β-thalassemia including β-thalassemia/hemoglobin E (HbE). Participants can be enrolled based on historical data, but a confirmation of the genotype using the study central laboratory will be required before busulfan conditioning History of at least 100 milliliter (mL)/kilograms (kg)/year or 10 units/year of packed red blood cells (RBC) transfusions in the prior 2 years before signing the consent or the last rescreening for patients going through re-screening\n- Participants with SCD: Diagnosis of severe SCD as defined by: Documented SCD genotypes History of at least two severe VOCs events per year for the previous two years prior to enrollment"}
Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Participants with TDT and SCD: A willing and healthy 10/10 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor is available per investigator's judgement Prior hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) Clinically significant and active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection as determined by the investigator\n- Participants with TDT: Participants with associated α-thalassemia and >1 alpha deletion, or alpha multiplications Participants with sickle cell β-thalassemia variant\n- Participants with SCD: History of untreated moyamoya syndrome or presence of moyamoya syndrome at screening"}
Endpoints

Recruitment
- Planned Sample Size
- 20
- Recruitment Window Months
- 36
- Consent Approach
- Informed consent is provided via subject information sheets and ICFs tailored by age: adult ICFs, adolescent-specific SIS and ICFs, and parent/guardian ICFs are available. Country-specific documents exist for Italy and Germany (document lists include adolescent, parent and adult ICFs in Italian and German). A pregnancy-specific information/ICF document is also listed.
