Plain-language summary
This is a single-arm, multi-site, single-dose, Phase 3 study in 23 participants less than or equal to (\<=) 50 years of age with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT), also known as β-thalassemia major, who do not have a β0 mutation at both alleles of the hemoglobin β (HBB) gene. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using LentiGlobin BB305 Drug Product.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Participants \<= 50 years of age at the time of consent or assent (as applicable), and able to provide written consent (adults, or legal guardians, as applicable) or assent (adolescents or children). Provided that the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) has approved enrolling participants younger than 5 years of age, participants younger than 5 years of age may be enrolled if they weigh a minimum of 6 kilograms (kg) and are reasonably anticipated to be able to provide at least the minimum number of cells required to initiate the manufacturing process.
* Diagnosis of TDT with a history of at least 100 milliliter per kilogram per year (mL/kg/year) of pRBCs in the 2 years preceding enrollment (all participants), or be managed under standard thalassemia guidelines with \>= 8 transfusions of pRBCs per year in the 2 years preceding enrollment (participants \>= 12 years).
* Clinically stable and eligible to undergo (HSCT).
* Treated and followed for at least the past 2 years in a specialized center that maintained detailed medical records, including transfusion history.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Presence of a mutation characterized as β0 mutation at both alleles of the β-globin gene HBB.
* Positive for presence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 or 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2), hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C (HCV).
* A white blood cell (WBC) count less than (\<) 3×10\^9/Liter (L), and/or platelet count \< 100×10\^9/L not related to hypersplenism.
* Uncorrected b…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
