- Charité says Mohammed was Germany’s first patient to receive a Crispr-based medicine in regular treatment.
- Casgevy was first administered to him in May 2026, and the treatment is expected to last about twelve months.
- The procedure involved infusing 900 million genetically modified stem cells; full hemoglobin production is expected after about six months.
- The treatment requires 15 years of follow-up because Charité says long-term safety and efficacy data remain unavailable.
We also still have no data on the long-term safety and efficacy of the gene therapy.— Lena Oevermann, Charité physician and head of the program for hemoglobinopathies
