Chokri Ben Lamine: EHA26 – SCD Curative Therapy Pathway

Chokri Ben Lamine, Assistant Consultant at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, shared a post on X:

EHA26SCD Curative Therapy Pathway

EHA-SWG and  EBMT-HWP joint recommendations highlight who should be considered for:

  • Allogeneic HCT
  • Cell and gene therapy

in sickle cell disease

Key clinical logic:

  • Confirm HbSS and severe HbSβ⁰ genotype
  • Assess for severe clinical presentation
  • If HLA-matched family donor is available, proceed to allo-HCT assessment
  • If no matched donor is available and eligibility criteria are met, assess for gene therapy at a transplant center.

Practical message:

Curative therapy in SCD is becoming algorithm-driven, but still needs expert individualized review:

  • genotype
  • disease severity
  • donor availability
  • age
  • regulatory and scientific updates
  • patient-centered risk–benefit discussion
