-
At least 3 months of full volume transfusion (verification of blood transfusion records can be provided) prior to screening, and Hb is maintained at ≥ 9.0 g/dL;
-
Ferritin load < 3000 μg/L, cardiac and liver iron indicates moderate or lesser iron overload; records of iron chelation treatments within 3 months before screening (including prescription or receipt) can be provided;
-
Acceptable organ functions (including heart, liver, kidney, lung and coagulation functions), stable disease condition, and suitable for busulfan pre-treatment and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation as judged by the investigator;
-
Meets follow-up requirements, adheres to treatment arrangements, and is able to return to the hospital regularly to undergo various examinations within 2 years after reinfusion of HGI-002 injection.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Patients with fully HLA-matched donors;
-
Received allogeneic transplantation, which needs to be weighed and evaluated by an expert committee; received other gene therapies;
-
Have previously undergone splenectomy;
-
Uncorrected bleeding disorder;
-
Uncontrolled epilepsy and mental illness;
-
Received hydroxyurea, ruxolitinib, decitabine, or cytarabine within 3 months prior to enrollment;

In certain clinical environments/regions, subjects who are positive for other tests can also be excluded from the trial, such as, human lymphocytic virus-1 (HTLV-1) or -2 (HTLV-2), tuberculosis, and toxoplasmosis.
