Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: CTX001

CTX001 (autologous CD34+ hHSPCs modified with CRISPR-Cas9 at the erythroid lineage-specific enhancer of the BCL11A gene). Participants will receive single infusion of CTX001 through central venous catheter.

Biological: CTX001
Administered by intravenous infusion following myeloablative conditioning with busulfan.
