Brief Summary: The purpose of this Phase 1/2 study is to determine the feasibility and safety of stem cell collection and gamma-globin gene transfer, and success of gene correction in subjects with sickle cell disease
Detailed Description: This study will assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of gene transfer using ARU-1801 (CD34+ cells transduced with the gamma-globin lentiviral vector). Gene transfer will occur ex-vivo into CD34+ enriched human bone marrow or plerixafor-mobilized peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) collected from subjects with severe sickle cell disease (SCD). Subjects will undergo reduced intensity chemotherapy conditioning with single-dose melphalan to facilitate engraftment of ex-vivo ARU-1801 via IV infusion. Subjects will return to the study site at regular intervals for follow-up for 2 years after the ARU-1801 infusion. It is anticipated that a separate long-term follow-up (LTFU) clinical study will be initiated, in which all subjects completing the 2 year study visit will be asked to consent and enroll, and will followed for a further 13 years.
