LYFGENIA is a gene therapy treatment specifically made for you, using your own cells.
A sequence of DNA responsible for controlling inherited traits
An immature cell that has the potential to develop into any blood cell type, including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets
A protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body
In a LYFGENIA clinical study, VOEs were defined as any of the following events requiring evaluation at a medical facility: an episode of acute pain with no medically determined cause other than vaso-occlusion, lasting more than 2 hours, acute chest syndrome, acute hepatic sequestration, or acute splenic sequestration
What if you had the ability to treat sickle cell disease from within, without a donor?
As a one-time treatment, LYFGENIA works by adding functional copies of the beta-globin [[gene]] to your [[blood stem cells]] to help your body make anti-sickling [[hemoglobin]], so that you can potentially decrease or stop experiencing [[vaso-occlusive events (VOEs)]].
