LYFGENIA is an autologous hematopoietic stem cell-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of patients 12 years of age or older with sickle cell disease and a history of vaso-occlusive events.2

Following treatment with LYFGENIA, patients with α-thalassemia trait (-α3.7/-α3.7) may experience anemia with erythroid dysplasia that may require chronic red blood cell transfusions. LYFGENIA has not been studied in patients with more than two α-globin gene deletions.

HOW IT WORKS

LYFGENIA is a single dose autologous gene addition therapy2

Designed to produce anti-sickling adult hemoglobin (HbAT87Q) to potentially decrease or stop vaso-occlusive events (VOEs).2†‡§

CLINICAL EFFICACY

A one-time transformational sickle cell disease (SCD) gene therapy with the potential to decrease or stop VOEs2†

88% (n=28/32, CI: 71, 97) of evaluable patients in Study 1-C achieved complete resolution of VOEs between 6 and 18 months after infusion of LYFGENIA.2‡§

VOE-CR = elimination of VOEs between 6 and 18 months post infusion.2

VOEs were defined as any of the following events requiring evaluation at a medical facility: an episode of acute pain with no medically determined cause other than vaso-occlusion, lasting more than 2 hours, acute chest syndrome, acute hepatic sequestration, or acute splenic sequestration.2

After the primary evaluation period to last follow-up, 4 of 28 patients who achieved VOE-CR experienced VOEs.2

§The efficacy of LYFGENIA was studied in a single-arm, 24-month, open-label, multicenter Phase 1/2 study (Study 1-C) and a long-term follow-up study. In Study 1-C, 32 patients with a history of at least 4 VOEs in the 24 months prior to informed consent were evaluated for VOEs.2
