A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Determine Efficacy and Safety of SIL-8301 in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Patients With a Predominantly Hemolytic Phenotype
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.
• 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
