Brief summary

This is a phase 2, randomized, multiple-dose, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CSL889 (human hemopexin) when given intravenously (IV) to adults and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD) experiencing vaso-occlusive crises (VOC). The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CSL889 in study participants, and to assess how CSL889 affects the time it takes for VOC to resolve in participants with SCD.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALCSL889

CSL889 is a solution for infusion to be administered by the IV route.

DRUGPlacebo

Inclusion criteria

* At the time of informed consent: * 18 years of age (adults); or * 12 to less than (\<) 18 years of age (adolescents, where approved and when enrollment for adolescents has been opened by the sponsor, with the endorsement of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee \[IDMC\]) * Diagnosed with SCD (any genotype). * Presented at the study site with a new acute VOC necessitating treatment with parenteral opioids.

Exclusion criteria

* VOC pain onset greater than (\>) 72 hours before administration of first parenteral opioid. * Must not have a history of \> 5 VOCs requiring hospital admission in the past 6 months; or signs and / or symptoms of ACS; or new neurological symptoms suggestive of acute stroke or transient ischemic attack; or any stage (acute kidney injury) AKI; or been discharged from inpatient hospital admission for VOC or other vaso-occlusive event within 14 days before the current presentation. * Serum hemoglobin \< 6 g/dL, serum ferritin ≥ 2000 ng/mL, receiving an approved medication for SCD that has not been on a stable, well-tolerated regimen, currently taking methadone or buprenorphine.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hospital admission rateUp to Day 28 (EOS Visit)Hospital admission rate in participants with SCD presenting with VOC who received greater than or equal to (≥) 1 dose of CSL889 in the acute care setting.
Length of hospital stay (If hospitalized)Up to Day 28 (EOS Visit)
Percentage of participants experiencing acute chest syndrome (ACS), acute kidney injury (AKI), or strokeFrom the start of investigational product (IP) administration up to Day 8
Length of acute care stayUp to Day 28 (EOS Visit)
Total Length of acute care and hospital stayUp to Day 28 (EOS Visit)
Re-presentation rate to an acute care facility for VOC or ACS after dischargeFrom discharge up to Day 28
Hospital admission rate for VOC or ACS after dischargeFrom discharge up to Day 28
Opioid consumptionFrom the time of enrollment to discharge (up to Day 28 [EOS Visit])Opioid consumption will be measured in morphine milligram equivalent units.
Number of participants with ≥ 30% pain reduction by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scoreWithin 4 hours after the start of CSL889 infusionThe NRS for pain is a validated self-reported 11-point pain severity scale (where 0 means no pain and 10 means the most or worst possible pain) that can be used in adults, adolescents, and children ≥ 8 years of age with SCD.
