Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The purpose of this local Phase IV study was to evaluate the safety of crizanlizumab specifically in Indian patients with SCD aged 16 years or older with a history of VOC leading to healthcare visit.
The study was open label and single armed. 140 patients were treated with crizanlizumab for approximately one year at a dose of 5 mg/kg in addition to receiving standard of care.
The primary objective was to assess frequency, severity and causality of serious adverse events (SAEs) during the treatment period. Secondary objective was to assess overall safety and tolerability of crizanlizumab.
