Key Takeaways
  • All four non-Chinese patients treated with CS-101/CS-206 achieved durable clinical remission without transfusions or vaso-occlusive crises.
  • TBE produced rapid hematopoietic engraftment with neutrophil recovery at day 13 and platelet recovery at day 21 in the SCD patient.
  • No off-target edits or product-related adverse events were detected across treated patients during median follow-up of ~16–18 months.
