A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of ICA-17043 (With or Without Hydroxyurea) in Patients With Sickle Cell Anemia.
A Phase II, Multicenter, Twelve-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Dose-Range-Finding Study of the Efficacy and Safety of ICA-17043 With or Without Hydroxyurea Therapy in Patients With Sickle Cell Anemia

ICA-17043 is being developed for the chronic treatment of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) in both adults and children. ICA-17043 is a potent and specific inhibitor of a channel in human red blood cells (RBCs) that blocks RBC dehydration. ICA-17043 is expected to inhibit RBC dehydration and thus should prevent or delay the sickling process. By reducing sickled cells, an improvement in anemia, a reduction in painful crises, and ultimately, less end-organ disease is anticipated.
