Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

OBJECTIVES:

I. Compare the efficacy of hydroxyurea with or without clotrimazole in terms of limiting the severity of anemia and the rate of hemolysis in patients with sickle cell anemia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients receive oral hydroxyurea and oral clotrimazole daily for 12 months.

Arm II: Patients receive oral hydroxyurea daily for 12 months. Patients are followed at 6 weeks.
