Oct 9, 2024, 09:25 PM
Bluebird Bio's gene therapy for cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy has shown long-term benefits for patients, with most of the 32 treated patients remaining free of major disability after a median of 6 years. However, concerning findings have emerged, with seven children developing blood cancer, specifically myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 14 to 92 months post-treatment.
