Presentazione

RATIONALE

In recent years, there has been a swift evolution in development of innovative therapies for the management of thalassemia and sickle cell disease (SCD). Global collaborations have helped transition many of these advances from the bench to the bedside, with gradual integration into routine clinical practice. Conventional therapies have served patients with hemoglobinopathies for decades and significantly improved survival outcomes. Thus, it remains imperative to revisit the holistic care of patients and identify optimal strategies to merge the ‘old’ with the ‘new’ in the management of the individual patient.

On this International Thalassemia Day, we gather global experts and opinion leaders to discuss various updates in disease understanding and management for patients with hemoglobinopathies. Emerging insights on molecular pathways and clinical forms will be discussed. These would then lead the way to an overview and deep interpretation of novel data from clinical trials of bone marrow transplant, gene therapy, genome editing, and other agents that target the ineffective erythropoiesis and iron dysregulation in thalassemia, as well as sickling, hemolysis and vasculopathy in SCD. We will end the day with sharing experiences on managing patients with hemoglobinopathies during the Covid-19 pandemic.
