| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In our current research we have shown that low hemoglobin levels raise resting CBF and leave patients with inadequate CVR. Our hypothesis is that GBT440 will result in higher hemoglobin levels, reduced hemolysis and decreased sickling resulting in lower viscosity, reduced CBF and increased CVR. The effect on oxygen utilization is uncertain given the contrasting effects on circulating oxygen content versus high oxygen affinity, but will be investigated in parallel. | — |
