What is Zynteglo?

Zynteglo is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved one-time gene therapy manufactured by Bluebird Bio, Inc. It is a treatment option that gained FDA approval on August 17, 2022, for adults and pediatric patients 4 years and older with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDT) who require regular red blood cell transfusions. It is only approved in TDT patients who do not have a β0/β0 genotype.

Beta-thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that causes a reduction of normal hemoglobin and red blood cells in the blood, through mutations in the beta-globin gene, leading to reduced levels of oxygen in the body. This can lead to dizziness, weakness, fatigue, and bone abnormalities.

Zynteglo is only available at Qualified Treatment Centers (QTCs), based on their experience in stem cell transplantation, cell and gene therapy, and beta-thalassemia. It is a lentiviral vector gene therapy, where each dose is created using the patient’s own genetically modified bone marrow stem cells to produce functional beta-globin. Zynteglo can help patients achieve transfusion independence where they maintain a sufficient level of hemoglobin without any RBC transfusions for at least a year.

What doses of Zynteglo are available?

Zynteglo is available as a cell suspension for IV infusion. It contains a minimum of 5x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg of body weight.

Zynteglo active ingredients

The active ingredient of Bluebird Bio’s gene therapy Zynteglo is betibeglogene autotemcel (beti-cel). It adds functional copies of a modified β-globin gene into the patient’s hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).
