Study summary

This is an open label, single arm study which enrolled 5 subjects with SCD who previously participated in the GBT440-001 study (NCT02285088).

Read the detailed description

This is an open label, single arm study which enrolled 5 subjects with SCD who previously participated in the GBT440-001 study (NCT02285088).

Dosing of study drug was 2 to 6 months, depending on subject's dose assignment in the last administration of study drug in GBT440-001 (NCT02285088).

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of up to a total of 6 months dosing of subjects with SCD who participated in the GBT440-001 study (NCT02285088).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events During Dosing of GBT440 for up to 6 Months.

    The safety evaluation will include physical examinations, blood pressure, clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum biochemistry) and adverse events.

    Time frame: 2 - 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. To Assess the Efficacy of GBT440 as Measured by Improvements in Anemia

    Data presented are hemoglobin value collected at specific time points.

    Time frame: 2 - 6 months

  2. To Observed Pharmacokinetics in Plasma and Whole Blood.

    Measure maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: 2 - 6 months

  3. To Characterize the Effect of GBT440 on Hemolysis.

    Data presented for unconjugated bilirubin at specific time point.

    Time frame: 2 - 6 months
