Who the study is looking for
- Diagnosis of transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) as defined by
- Documented homozygous β-thalassemia or compound heterozygous β-thalassemia including β-thalassemia/hemoglobin E (HbE). Participants can be enrolled based on historical data, but a confirmation of the genotype using the study central laboratory will be required before busulfan conditioning
- History of at least 100 mL/kg/year or ≥10 units/year of packed RBC transfusions in the prior 2 years before signing the consent or the last rescreening for patients going through re-screening
- Eligible for autologous stem cell transplant as per investigator's judgment
