Study Summary

The primary goal of the Phase III SCATE trial is to compare 30 months of alternative therapy (hydroxyurea) to standard care (observation) in children with sickle cell anemia and conditional (170 - 199cm/sec) Transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities. For the alternative regimen (hydroxyurea) to be declared superior to the standard treatment regimen (observation), the hydroxyurea-treated group must have a three-fold reduction in the incidence of conversion to abnormal TCD velocities (≥ 200 cm/sec), compared to the standard treatment arm.

Primary Outcome

The primary endpoint of the SCATE trial is the cumulative incidence of conversion to abnormal maximum TAMV (time-averaged mean velocity) measured by transcranial doppler (TCD) ultrasonography. Subjects must have conditional velocities at baseline, defined as 170 - 199 cm/sec, which indicate moderate stroke risk. Abnormal velocities are defined as ≥ 200 cm/sec, which indicate high stroke risk. The number of conversions from conditional velocities to abnormal velocities in each treatment arm will
