Study Summary

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that causes the red blood cells to change their shape from a round shape to a half-moon/crescent or sickled shape. People who have SCD have a different type of protein that carries oxygen in their blood (hemoglobin) then people without SCD. This different type of hemoglobin makes the red blood cells change into a crescent shape under certain conditions. Sickle-shaped cells are a problem because they often get stuck in blood vessels blocking the flow of blood, and cause inflammation and injury to the important areas in the body. Lexiscan is drug that may prevent this inflammation and injury caused by the sickle shaped cells. This drug is approved by the FDA to be used as a fast infusion during a heart stress test in people who are unable to exercise enough to put stress on their heart by making it beat faster. Lexiscan has never been studied in patients with SCD and has never been given as a long infusion.

Primary Outcome

Per protocol, Lexiscan was considered "safe" if well tolerated based on number of DLTs reported. Stage 1 of the study was a 3+3 dose escalation study. Three doses were tested: 0.24 mcg/kg/hr (dose level 0), 0.6 mcg/kg/hr (dose level 1), and 1.44 mcg/kg/hr (dose level 2). Dose escalation continued until 6 participants were treated at the maximum planned dose (dose level 2). We studied a total of 15 patients in Stage 1. In Stages 2 and 3, if at least 2/3 participants tolerated the dose, an additio
