Phase 3 Clinical Trials:

A Research Study Looking at Long-term Treatment With Etavopivat in People With Sickle Cell Disease or Thalassaemia

Study Details | Source

  • Sponsor: Novo Nordisk A/S
  • Etavopivat is a new medicine under development for treating blood disorders like sickle cell disease and thalassaemia. Sickle cell disease and thalassaemia are inherited blood disorders that affect haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen through the body. This study is looking into how safe treatment with etavopivat is and how well it works over a long period of time. The study will last for up to 264 weeks, but it will end earlier if etavopivat is approved in the participant’s country.
  • Interventions: DRUG: Etavopivat A | DRUG: Etavopivat B
  • Primary Outcomes Measures: Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), reported for each indication and age group separately, Measured as number of events., Baseline (week 0 of FLORAL) to end of study (week 264, or earlier)|Number of adverse reactions, reported for each indication and age group separately, Measured as number of adverse reactions., Baseline (week 0 of FLORAL) to end of study (week 264, or earlier)
