Abstract
Therapeutic innovation to address sickle cell disease (SCD) is at an historical apex, characterized by a drug discovery, development, and commercialization landscape that includes potentially curative gene therapies. Given the wide geographic distribution of SCD, with a major presence in Africa, it is imperative that new medicines are designed to meet the specific needs of persons with SCD everywhere. Target product profiles (TPPs) detail the desired attributes of new medicines and serve as a guide for drug developers. To support research efforts for curative treatments for SCD, we mobilized a large multi-disciplinary expert group to generate consensus-driven TPPs for and SCD gene therapies, utilizing a modified Delphi methodology supplemented with virtual workshops. The main findings are TPPs that describe 20 minimal and optimal criteria for novel gene therapy products in categories of scope (3 criteria), performance/safety (11 criteria), manufacturing (4 criteria), and administration (2 criteria). TPPs for and products differed in some performance/safety criteria and all criteria pertaining to manufacturing and administration. These outputs will ideally support development of durable treatments that are safe, efficacious, and practical for persons with SCD in global settings.

Methods for targeted genome editing and engineering,
Methods and technology development for cell reprogramming and directed differentiation of pluripotent cells,
Methods for gene and cell vector delivery,
Development of biomaterials and nanoparticles for applications in gene and cell therapy and regenerative medicine,
Analysis of gene and cell vector biodistribution and tracking,
Pharmacology/toxicology studies of new and next-generation vectors,
Methods for cell isolation, engineering, culture, expansion, and transplantation,
Cell processing, storage, and banking for therapeutic application,
Preclinical and QC/QA assay development,
Translational and clinical scale-up and Good Manufacturing procedures and process development,
Clinical protocol development,
Computational and bioinformatic methods for analysis, modeling, or visualization of biological data,
Negotiating the regulatory approval process and obtaining such approval for clinical trials.
