  • Participants with associated α-thalassemia and >1 alpha deletion, or alphamultiplications

  • 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.
