    As the first clinical study published in a top academic journal based on CRISPR gene editing in the treatment of β0/β0 severe thalassaemia, the article published detailed clinical data and more comprehensively interpreted the efficacy and safety characteristics of patients treated with BRL-101


    Posted by Nature Medicine


    In January 2013, Xixi (pseudonym) was born in a happy family of 4 in Ningyuan County, Hunan Province.


    In this way, in the long process of waiting for a suitable type, Xixi could only accept the conventional treatment methods of regular blood transfusion and taking iron pills, but even with such a conservative treatment method, the one-year treatment cost is not enough.


    Xixi's mother said that since Xixi was diagnosed with the disease, she had been taking care of the children at home, and Xixi had an older brother.


    Beta-thalassemia is an inherited hemolytic disease that is prevalent worldwide and is one of the most common monogenic diseases


    The twists and turns, fortunately encountered "gene therapy"

    2020 is the 7th year that Xixi was diagnosed with β-thalassemia major


    On April 29, 2020, Xixi officially accepted the CRISPR gene editing treatment; on June 23, 2020, Xixi successfully got rid of blood transfusion dependence


    "I want to be a basketball player in the future"

    Now is the 2nd anniversary of Xixi's follow-up visit.


    On the 2nd anniversary of the follow-up, the attending doctor Fu Bin, deputy chief physician, took a group photo with "Xixi"


    Gene therapy, one-time treatment can achieve a life-long curative effect,

    At present, Bangyao Bio has achieved good results in the clinical trial of the treatment of β0/β0 thalassaemia patients with its self-developed hematopoietic stem cell platform (ModiHSC ® ) based on gene editing technology, and has successfully helped many cases nationwide Patients with β-thalassemia are free from transfusion dependence
    .
    It is worth mentioning that the outstanding achievements of Bangyao Biotechnology in the field of thalassemia have been selected into the treatment methods section of the second edition of the Blue Book on the Prevention and Control of Thalassaemia in China (2020); and on May 31, 2022, The clinical application of "BRL-101 autologous hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell injection" of Bangyao Bio has been accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the State Food and Drug Administration (acceptance number: CXSL2200236)
    .
    In the future, the age of the research subjects for this project will be further expanded to 35 years old, which is expected to benefit the "old and difficult group" in the field of thalassemia transplantation - the elderly and patients with no hope of matching
    .

    As a cell gene pharmaceutical company with the mission of "leading innovation with gene editing, developing breakthrough therapies, and benefiting all mankind", Bangyao Biotechnology has continuously overcome industry barriers and carried out a multi-target strategic layout.
    Excellent clinical results have been achieved in projects such as thalassemia, non-viral PD1 site-specific integration of CAR-T, and UCART
    .
    In the future, we will continue to accelerate the transformation and implementation of innovative drugs to benefit patients with rare genetic diseases and malignant tumors around the world, including thalassemia!
