Bluebird Bio Releases Data on Current Gene Therapy Trials

<< < (30/39) > >>

BabyRiya:
Andy
If this medicine comes in 4 or 5 years and takes care of transfusion, will there be need for chelation for Thal intermedia
Can we do anything to help expedite?

Parin:
Thanks Andy, i hope  beta zero patients could use this therapy soon.

Andy Battaglia:
BabyRiya, if a patient undergoes gene therapy, they will need chelation if they were already carrying an iron load. They will not be building a new iron load, though.

BabyRiya:
Thx Andy

Hi Andy,

I just browsed through ASH conference preliminary program in 2016. I did not see any participation from Bluebird. Do you know if they dropped out from ASH.

I see Bluebird is presenting in Gene Therapy Day seminar on October 13, 2016.
