Advances in Disease-Modifying and Curative Therapies for Sickle Cell Disease
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
Guest: Alexis Leonard
Sickle cell disease management traditionally involves two primary treatment approaches: disease-modifying therapies and curative strategies. While disease-modifying therapies can help reduce complications associated with the disease, they do not correct or fix them, which is why curative strategies are appealing to some patients and physicians. Join Dr. Alexis Leonard as she discusses the current management landscape for sickle cell disease, including disease-modifying treatments, curative strategies, and potential gene therapies. Dr. Leonard works in the Department of Hematology at St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
