Study Summary

Hydroxyurea (HU) is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat adults with sickle cell anemia. Hydroxyurea has also been tested and used with children with sickle cell anemia. However, there are not many studies describing the disposition of drug in children less than 5 years old. The FDA has requested this study to better understand how children ages 2 to 17 years with sickle anemia absorb and eliminate the drug (this is called pharmacokinetics). The investigators will measure how much Hydroxyurea (HU) gets into the bloodstream at different time points after taking this medication.

Primary Outcome

Cmax, Area Under Curve, Tmax. Also, the following pharmacokinetic parameters will be derived for each participant using standard techniques: Apparent absorption rate constant, Apparent terminal elimination rate constant, Apparent steady state volume of distribution, Apparent plasma clearance. A compartment, model-based, classical fitting paradigm of the plasma concentration vs. time data will be applied to each subjects' data. Standard goodness of fit criteria will be employed.
