hydroxyurea betibeglogene autotemcel

Applies to: Siklos (hydroxyurea) and betibeglogene autotemcel

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Hydroxyurea may affect the manufacturing and therapeutic efficacy of the autologous hematopoietic stem cell-based gene therapy, betibeglogene autotemcel. Haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization followed by apheresis to obtain CD34+ cells is required before betibeglogene autotemcel manufacturing, which involves genetic modification of human blood cells via a lentiviral vector. Hydroxyurea can inhibit DNA synthesis and alter red blood cells, and therefore, it may interfere with the manufacturing process. No data is currently available for this interaction.

MANAGEMENT: According to the manufacturer, hydroxyurea should be avoided for at least one month, or the expected duration of hydroxyurea elimination, prior to HSC mobilization and until all cycles of apheresis have been completed.
