VIDEO: Novel GBT440 improves blood parameters in sickle cell disease

ORLANDO – A novel small molecule agent improved hematologic parameters and was associated with significant reduction in sickling of red blood cells in patients with sickle cell disease.

The drug was shown to increase hemoglobin in both healthy volunteers and patients, reduce reticulocytosis, and improve biomarkers of hemolysis and inflammation.

In an interview, Dr. Claire Hemmaway of Queens Hospital in Romford, England, discusses early results from a phase I/II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial.
