Pociredir Study for Sickle Cell Disease
This study checks if a new drug called Pociredir is safe and works well for people with sickle cell disease (SCD). Sickle cell disease is a condition where red blood cells become shaped like a sickle, causing pain and other problems. We're looking at how the body processes the drug (pharmacokinetics) and how it affects the body (pharmacodynamics). Participants must be between 18 and 65 years old. They will take Pociredir for 12 weeks, then have 4 weeks of follow-up. Different groups will get different doses, starting at 6 mg per day, either 2 mg or 12 mg, and possibly higher. The study aims to see how safe the drug is and if it helps increase fetal hemoglobin, which might reduce sickle cell problems.
- The study lasts for 16 weeks, with 12 weeks of taking the drug and 4 weeks of follow-up.
- Participants should not have had certain treatments like Hydroxyurea or other SCD drugs recently.
- Eligibility requires certain health conditions related to SCD and specific lab results.
