Study summary

This is a multi-center multi-national rollover study to allow continued access to crizanlizumab for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) who are on crizanlizumab treatment in a Novartis-sponsored study (parent study) and are benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator.

Read the detailed description

There will be no screening period for this study as patients will transfer directly from parent studies. After providing informed consent, all eligible participants should start Crizanlizumab treatment at the earliest convenience following the treatment schedule of 28 days of the last dose in the parent study. Crizanlizumab will be administered at the same dose/schedule as in the parent study.

Study participants will have a safety follow up visit conducted 105 days after last administration of study treatment. The safety follow up at 105 days is not applicable for those participants who continue to receive Crizanlizumab after end of treatment visit either commercially or through PSDS.

The study is expected to remain open for 10 years from the first Patient's first visit (FPFV) in this clinical study or until study treatment becomes commercially available and is reimbursed in the respective indication or until such time that all enrolled patients no longer need treatment with Crizanlizumab, or a PSDS treatment plan is allowed and approved as per local laws and regulations, whichever comes first

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Written /assent, according to local guidelines, signed by the adult patients. In the population under 18 years, it will be signed by the patient and/or by the parents or legal guardian prior to enrolling in the rollover study and receiving study medication
  2. SCD patient currently enrolled in a Novartis-sponsored study receiving crizanlizumab and has fulfilled all the requirements in the parent study. Patient is currently benefiting from the treatment with crizanlizumab as determined by the investigator and has completed the treatment schedule as planned in the parent study
  3. Patient has demonstrated compliance to the planned visit schedule in the parent study, and in the opinion of the investigator has shown willingness and ability to comply with future visit schedules

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient had permanently discontinued from crizanlizumab study treatment in the parent study before the parent study completion
  2. Ongoing/unresolved treatment-related Grade 3 or higher AEs, and/or any ongoing AE requiring dose interruption. Patients meeting all other eligibility criteria may be enrolled once toxicities have resolved unless those toxicities were grade 4
  3. Concurrent participation in any other clinical trial other than the parent study or plan to participate in any other investigational clinical trial
  4. Pregnant or nursing women
  5. Women of who are unwilling to be on highly effective during dosing and until 15 weeks after stopping treatment with crizanlizumab
  6. SCD patients who do not meet parent study protocol criteria to continue with crizanlizumab
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2031, 120 months after the start.

Of 20 phase 4 interventional studies under Anemia, Sickle Cell, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 41. This study's planned 120 months is above that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 8, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
