Brief summary

Study of IMR-687 in adult participants with sickle cell anemia (SCA) (homozygous HbSS or sickle-β0 thalassemia).

Detailed description

This is a proof-of-concept study in adult SCA participants, ages 18 to 55 years old, to examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK), as well as the potential pharmacodynamic (PD) effects and clinical efficacy, of IMR-687 across a range of doses. IMR-687 was administered in 2 populations of participants with SCA: those who were not receiving hydroxyurea (HU) and those who were receiving a stable dose of HU according to standard of care.

Interventions

Oral administration of IMR-687 once daily with or without HU.

DRUGPlacebo

Oral administration of placebo once daily with or without HU.

Number Of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) And Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Day 1 (after dosing) through up to Week 24An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE was defined as any AE that resulted in 1 or more of the following outcomes: death, required or prolonged hospitalization, life-threatening, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect, or other medically important event. A summary of serious and all other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

Time To First VOC Event

VOCs include the events of acute painful crisis and acute chest symptoms (includes fever, cough, sputum production, shortness of breath, tachypnea, hypoxia, and chest pain). Time to first VOC event was assessed by Kaplan Meier analysis. For this analysis, HU and without HU population groups were pooled for IMR-687 and placebo. In addition, pooled IMR-687 (all doses) are presented.

Time frame: Day 1 (after dosing) through up to Week 24
