Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Diagnosis of SCD or sickle beta thalassemia (excluding Hemoglobin C)
* Between 12 and 60 years of age, inclusive
* At least one episode of a SCD-related crisis or complication (e.g., vaso-occlusive crisis, acute chest syndrome, priapism) per year for an average of 3 years or one episode of acute chest syndrome over the prior 5 years
* Screening (untransfused) HbF level \>/= 2% as analyzed by a central laboratory
* If receiving hydroxyurea therapy, must be receiving a stable dose for at least 6 months
* Able and willing to give informed consent
* If female, must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of dosing
* If female, must not be of childbearing potential defined as post-menopausal by at least 2 years or surgically sterile, or must agree to use a medically accepted form of contraception throughout the study
* If the sexual partner of a male subject is a WCBP, she must agree to use a medically accepted form of birth control for themselves or their partner throughout the study
* In the view of the Investigator, able to comply with necessary study procedures

Exclusion Criteria

* Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion within 3 months prior to beginning study medication
* Participation in a regular blood transfusion program
* More than 4 hospitalizations for acute sickle cell-related events in the previous 12 months
* An acute vaso-occlusive event within 3 weeks prior to receiving first dose of study medication
* Pulmonary hypertension requiring oxygen
* QTc \> 450 msec on screening
* Alanine transaminase (ALT) \> 3X upper limit of normal (ULN)
* Creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) \> 20% above the ULN
* Serum creatinine \>1.2 mg/dL
* An acute illness (e.g., febrile, gastrointestinal \[GI\], respiratory) within 72 hours prior to receiving first dose of study medication
* History of syncope, clinically significant dysrhythmias or resuscitation from sudden death
* Chronic opiate use which, in the view of the Investigator, could confound evaluation of an investigational drug
* Current abuse of alcohol or drugs
* Received another investigational agent within 4 weeks, or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to administration of study medication
* Currently pregnant or breast feeding a child
* Known infection with HIV-1
* Infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C such that patients are currently on therapy or will be placed on therapy during the trial
