Every person’s experience may be different. Studies show that people who receive gene therapy for sickle cell have different benefits, such as decreased pain and lower levels of sickled hemoglobin. Any conditions or types of organ damage from sickle cell that happened before receiving the therapy may not improve or change after gene therapy.  

Your clinical trial team will create a follow-up plan to monitor your health. Researchers will use your data (and the data of others) to determine if gene therapy can be considered a cure for sickle cell disease.  

Clinical trials show that those who participate in gene therapy have less sickled hemoglobin, less hemolysis and little to no vaso-occlusive pain events. Those who participate in gene therapy may also have improved health-related quality of life, including improved emotional and psychosocial wellbeing, general health and less bodily pain.
