This study evaluates Vebeglogene autotemcel, a gene therapy, in patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. It enrolls patients with a diagnosis of beta-thalassemia and a history of red blood cell transfusions who have low hemoglobin levels. The study is in Phase 1/Phase 2 and is active but not currently recruiting.
The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.

Exclusion Criteria: * Active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection. * A white blood cell (WBC) counts\<3×10\^9/L, and/or platelet counts\<100×10\^9/L not related to hypersplenism. * Uncorrected bleeding disorder. * Presence of severe diseases that judged not compatible with the study procedures, such as severe hepatic disease, kidney disease, lung disease, and/or cardiovascular disease. * Uncontrolled seizure disorder. * Any evidence of severe iron overload that, in the investigator's opinion, warrants exclusion. * Prior autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. * Prior receipt of gene therapy.
