Pregnancy Categories:        Â
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.Â
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.  Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.
Pharmacology Â
Using gene therapy, a patient’s own hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) will be transformed to contain functional copies of the beta-globin gene (A-T87Q-globin gene).Â
It lowers the percentage of sickle hemoglobin with the intention of lowering sickled RBCs and hemolysis.Â

Why do we use lovotibeglogene autotemcel?Â
For the treatment of sickle cell disease patients having a history of vaso-occlusive episodes, the gene therapy lovotibeglogene autotemcel is being developed. Â
