A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Oral GSK4172239D Compared With Placebo in Sickle Cell Disease Participants Aged 18 to 50 Years

We're studying a new oral medication for adults with sickle cell disease.

Phase 1

This study is for people aged 18 to 50 with sickle cell disease (SCD). It will test a new drug, GSK4172239D, to see if it is safe and how it behaves in the body compared to a placebo (a harmless pill with no medicine). The study has three parts: Screening, Treatment, and Follow-up. During Screening, participants will be checked to make sure they can join. In the Treatment period, they will be randomly given either the GSK4172239D drug or the placebo. This is a **single-dose** and **dose-escalation** study, meaning participants will receive one dose and the dose amount may increase. Some participants will also take the drug with food in a special group called the Food Effect Cohort.

  • Time Commitment: Includes Screening, Treatment, and Follow-up periods.
  • Participation: Randomized to receive either the study drug or placebo.
  • Eligibility: Must have SCD and meet specific health criteria.
