Official title
A Phase I/IIA Open-label Dose-Finding Study with Subsequent Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Study of L-citrulline in Sickle Cell Disease Presenting to Emergency Department (ED) in Vaso Occlusive Crisis (VOC) in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults (6 to 21 Years)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to determine if intravenous L-citrulline can abrogate an active vaso-occlusive crisis in sickle cell disease, resulting in decreased pain, reduction or elimination of opiate usage, and reduction or elimination of hospital admission. The applicant is developing intravenous L-citrulline (Turnobi™) for treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD). The current development program targets treatment of sickle cell-associated vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) specifically. The aim of Part 1 is to identify the optimum dose regimens for the Part 2 of the trial which is a double-blind, placebo controlled adaptive 'pick-the-winner' design. This study will allow assignment of more subjects to the better treatment arm/s based on emerging data. The study, initially, will evaluate efficacy and tolerability of incremental doses of intravenous (IV) L-citrulline (Turnobi™) in patients with SCD while receiving standard of care therapy for VOC.
