Vertex Pharmaceuticals announced new long-term data for CASGEVY™ (exa-cel) at the 2024 EHA Congress. Data from the CLIMB-111, -121, and -131 trials, with follow-up over five years, show CASGEVY as a transformative and durable treatment for severe sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT). The efficacy results showed that 92.3% of patients with SCD were free from vaso-occlusive crises for at least 12 months, and 94.2% of TDT patients were transfusion-independent for at least 12 months. The safety profile was consistent with busulfan conditioning and autologous stem cell transplant.
