Eligibility

Key Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of TDT as defined by:

• Documented homozygous or compound heterozygous ß-thalassemia including ß-thalassemia/hemoglobin E (HbE). Participants can be enrolled based on historical data, but a confirmation of the genotype using the study central laboratory will be required before busulfan conditioning

• History of at least 100 mL/kilograms (kg)/year of packed RBC transfusions in the prior 24 months before signing of consent (or the last rescreening for patients going through repeat screening) or, for participants initiating transfusion therapy <24 months before signing of consent, requirement for packed RBC transfusion at least every 3 to 4 weeks for =6 months

• Eligible for autologous stem cell transplant as per investigator's judgment.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

• A willing and healthy 10/10 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor is available per investigator's judgement

• Prior hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)

• Participants with associated a-thalassemia and >1 alpha deletion, or alpha multiplications

• Participants with sickle cell ß-thalassemia variant

• Clinically significant and active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection as determined by the investigator

Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
