Betibeglogene autotemcel (Zynteglo — Bluebird Bio), an autologous lentiviral vector cell-based gene therapy, has been approved by the FDA for one-time treatment of transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia in children and adults. Exagamglogene autotemcel (Casgevy), a cell-based gene therapy that uses CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, was approved earlier this year for the same indication in patients ≥12 years old.

Exagamglogene autotemcel (Casgevy – Vertex), a cell-based gene therapy recently approved for treatment of sickle cell disease1, has now been approved by the FDA for treatment of patients ≥12 years old with transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia. Casgevy is the first gene therapy that uses CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology to be approved in the US for any disorder. Betibeglogene autotemcel (Zynteglo), an autologous lentiviral vector cell-based gene therapy, was approved in the US in 2022 for treatment of transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia.

Casgevy and Lyfgenia: Two Gene Therapies for Sickle Cell Disease

   
The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics • January 22, 2024;  (Issue 1694)
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...
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.
