  • Participants with TDT and SCD:
  • Eligible for autologous stem cell transplant as per investigator's judgment.
  • Participants with TDT:
  • Diagnosis of TDT as defined by:
  • Documented homozygous β-thalassemia or compound heterozygous β-thalassemia including β-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

  • Participants with SCD:
  • Diagnosis of severe SCD as defined by:
  • Documented SCD genotypes
  • History of at least two severe VOCs events per year for the previous two years prior to enrollment

Exclusion 10

  • Participants with TDT and SCD:
  • 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)
  • Clinically significant and active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection as determined by the investigator
  • Participants with TDT:
  • Participants with associated α-thalassemia and \>1 alpha deletion, or alpha multiplications
  • Participants with sickle cell β-thalassemia variant
  • Participants with SCD:
  • History of untreated moyamoya syndrome or presence of moyamoya syndrome at screening
  • Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
