In this study, researchers are looking at the safety and efficacy of inclacumab, a potential treatment related to sickle cell disease (SCD). Clinical studies are conducted to learn about the effects of investigational drugs. The studies are the most important way researchers can confirm that a new drug or treatment is safe and effective.
Inclacumab is an investigational study drug related to sickle cell disease.
The THRIVE-131, phase 3 study will assess the safety and efficacy
of
inclacumab, a P-selectin
inhibitor, in
approximately 240 adult and adolescent participants (≥ 16 years of age) with SCD. Participants
will be randomized to
receive inclacumab or placebo.
Eligible participants will be administered inclacumab or
placebo
intravenous (IV) every
12 weeks.
The total duration of treatment for each participant will be 48 weeks.
Participants
that complete the study
through Week 48 will be provided the opportunity to enroll in an open-label extension (OLE)
study.*

Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. In a person living with sickle cell, some red blood cells change shape and become sickled, or banana shaped. The sickling process begins with hemoglobin, the part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen. When cells sickle, they can break down and there are fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. This can cause serious, long-term complications. Sickle cell is always causing damage in the body, even when pain might not be felt.
STATS
It is estimated that:
Americans affected
by SCD
Black or African-American babies are born with SCD
of people living with SCD usually receive their care in an emergency room
SDC is a genetic, hereditary disease
Requires medical diagnosis
Lab tests or imaging always required
Chronic: lifelong

SYMPTOMS
Pain areas: in the joints
Pain types: can be sudden
in the
chest,
can include
vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs)
Whole
body: dizziness, fatigue, low oxygen in the body, or malaise
Urinary: inability to
make concentrated or dilute urine or
blood in urine
Also common: abnormal breakdown of red blood cells,
delayed
development, inflamed fingers or toes,
pallor, shortness of breath, or yellow skin and eyes
A vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) is defined as an acute episode of pain that:
TREATMENT
Management of sickle cell is usually aimed at avoiding pain episodes, like VOCs, relieving symptoms and preventing complications. Treatments might include medications and blood transfusions. Vaccinations and penicillin can be used to help prevent life-threatening infections.
