Impact of Different Definitions of Vaso-Occlusion on Efficacy Assessments in Sickle Cell Disease Clinical Trials. (PubMed, Adv Ther) - "Differences exist in definitions of vaso-occlusion and pain events used in SCD clinical trials. Severe VOCs (exa-cel), VOC (voxelotor), and SCPCs (crizanlizumab and L-glutamine) were more broadly inclusive than severe VOEs (lovo-cel and reni-cel) or painful crisis (hydroxyurea). Clinically, these differences resulted in differing numbers of patients being considered free from vaso-occlusion pain events, underscoring the challenge in comparing frequencies of pain events across SCD clinical trials."

Reni-Cel, an Investigational AsCas12a Gene-Edited Cell Medicine, Led to Sustained Hemoglobin Normalization and Increased Fetal Hemoglobin in Patients with Severe Sickle Cell Disease Treated in the RUBY Trial (TCT-ASTCT-CIBMTR 2025) - P1/2 | "Autologous CD34 + hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are mobilized using plerixafor, collected, and edited at the HBG1/ 2 promoters. Results with reni-cel treatment were promising, including reliable and prompt engraftment, early Hb normalization, and durable increases in HbF. The data also demonstrate improvement in hemolysis markers, sustained high levels of editing, resolution of VOEs, and a safety profile consistent with myeloablative conditioning with busulfan. These findings build on clinical evidence supporting continued investigation of reni-cel in the RUBY trial."
