Brief summary

SIL-8301 (senicapoc) is being developed for the chronic treatment of patients with sickle cell disease in both adults and children. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of senicapoc to placebo in patients with sickle cell disease that have had fewer than 2 acute sickle-related painful crises per year over the preceding 2 years, and have a predominantly hemolytic phenotype, defined as presence or history of at least one hemolytic complication and a baseline Hb of 9 g/dL or less, despite receiving hydroxyurea (an oral drug used for treatment of sickle cell disease) as standard of care. Participants will take senicapoc or matching placebo daily and continue on hydroxyurea as prescribed for up to 24 weeks.

Interventions

10 mg tablets; administered at a loading dose of 20 mg twice daily for 4 days, followed by a maintenance dose of 10 mg once daily for up to 24 weeks

DRUGPlacebo

Tablets similar in size and color; matching administration schedule

Inclusion criteria

* Documented diagnosis of sickle cell disease * 16-35 years of age * Hb ≤ 9.0 g/dL * History of no more than 1 acute SCD-related painful crises requiring a visit to a medical facility per year within the preceding 2 years * History of at least one hemolytic complication * Current treatment with hydroxyurea

Exclusion criteria

* Receipt of senicapoc in a previous investigational study * Current Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion or exchange transfusion program * History of pulmonary hypertension * Active cardiovascular, neurologic, endocrine, hepatic, or renal disorders * Diagnosis of cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer in situ, cervical cancer in situ, or breast cancer in situ) within the last 5 years * History of liver disease

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hb response rate24 WeeksProportion of participants achieving an increase in Hb of \> 1 g/dL from baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from baseline in overall score and subscale domain scores of the Participant-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)24 WeeksThe PROMIS-29 assessment for adult participants assesses depressive symptoms, anxiety, physical function, pain interference, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and ability to participate in social roles and activities. The PROMIS Pediatric-25 assessment for participants \<18 years of age assesses depressive symptoms, anxiety, physical function and mobility, pain interference, fatigue, and peer relationships. For both PROMIS assessments, a higher score indicates worse symptoms except for higher physical function values which indicate better physical function.
Sickle cell disease complication rate24 WeeksProportion of participants experiencing at least one new or worsening hemolytic complication at any time during the study
Proportion of participants with at least one category of improvement from baseline in Clinician and Patient Global Impression of Change24 Weeks
Frequency of acute sickle cell-related painful crises28 Weeks
Incidence of AEs, SAEs, and sickle cell disease related AEs28 Weeks
Change from baseline in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (u/L)24 Weeks
Change from baseline in indirect bilirubin (µmol/L)24 Weeks
Change from baseline in reticulocyte count (%)24 Weeks
Proportion of participants with a Hb increase of > 2g/dL from baseline24 Weeks
Percent change from baseline in urine albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR)24 Weeks
Change from baseline in the 6-minute walk test (6mwt)24 Weeks
Change from baseline in participant reported quality of life assessment overall score and subscale domain scores of the Adult Sickle Cell Quality of Life Measurement Information System (ASCQ-ME)24 WeeksThe ASCQ-ME is a patient-reported outcome measurement system that evaluates and monitors the physical, mental, and social well-being of patients with SCD. For each subscale, there are 5 questions using a 5 point Likert scale. Scores for each subscale range from 0 to 100, where lower scores connote worse disease impact.
