Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-CRISPR associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) technology has become a revolutionary tool in medicine, offering substantial potential for treating a wide range of diseases, including hematological disorders, cancers, genetic conditions, and ophthalmological diseases. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy, safety, and applicability of CRISPR/Cas9 in clinical trials. A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases was conducted. All studies, up to November 2024, meeting the eligibility criteria assessing the application of CRISPR for the treatment of diseases were included. A quality assessment of the included studies was conducted using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement for systematic reviews and meta-analyses was followed, and a total of 17 studies were included. This systematic review of CRISPR/Cas9 technology focused on its effectiveness and safety across various diseases. In nonmalignant hematological disorders, CRISPR successfully treated -thalassemia and sickle cell disease, resulting in high transfusion independence and the elimination of disease crises. In malignant hematological disorders, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, CRISPR-engineered chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells achieved an 83.3% complete remission rate. Furthermore, CRISPR-based CAR-T cells showed promising results in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In oncology, lung cancer and other solid tumors are among the diseases that have been safely engineered using CRISPR gene editing technology. For genetic disorders, CRISPR improved vision in retinal degeneration and reduced symptoms in hereditary angioedema and transthyretin amyloidosis with mild side effects. The results demonstrated CRISPR's potential across a wide range of conditions. In conclusion, the findings underscore the potential role of CRISPR/Cas9 technology across a wide range of diseases. However, challenges remain, including optimizing delivery systems, minimizing off-target effects, addressing immunogenicity concerns, and ethical considerations.
