Lentiviral vector ALS20 yields high hemoglobin levels with low genomic integrations for treatment of beta-globinopathies

Laura Breda et al.

Summary: The study identified a construct called ALS20, which significantly increased adult hemoglobin levels and showed curative effects in beta-thalassemia mice with less than one copy per genome. Injection of human CD34+ cells transduced with ALS20 led to safe, long-term, and high polyclonal engraftment in xenograft experiments, potentially achieving successful treatment of beta-globinopathies with less than two copies per genome and minimizing the risk of cytotoxic events.
