Study Summary

Background: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder. People with SCD have abnormal hemoglobin in their red blood cells. Researchers are investigating the safety and efficacy of an investigational medicine called AG-348 (mitapivat sulfate) to determine if it will help people with SCD. Objective: To test the tolerability and safety of AG-348 in people with SCD. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with SCD. Design: Participants will have 8 visits over approximately 14 weeks. At the first visit participants will be screened with a medical history, a physical exam, blood and urine testing, and an EKG. During the following 5 visits, participants will stay at the clinic for 1 night each. Participants will take study drug in increasing doses up to visit 6, after which the drug will be tapered off. All visits will include physical exam, blood, and urine tests. The last visit will occur 4 weeks after stopping the drug. Participants will provide DNA from the blood samples they provide. The DNA will be tested for an inherited gene that can cause differences in response to the study drug. Researchers may also test other genes to see if they can find any genes that interact with SCD.

Primary Outcome

To assess the clinical safety and tolerability of multiple escalating doses of AG-348, an allosteric activator of the enzyme pyruvate kinase, in subjects with stable sickle cell disease (SCD). Safety and tolerability were assessed by frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 5.0.
