A Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Crizanlizumab (5 mg/kg) Compared With Placebo in Adolescent and Adult Sickle Cell Disease Patients Who Experience Frequent Vaso-Occlusive Crises (SPARKLE)
brief summary
A phase III, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to assess efficacy and safety of crizanlizumab (5 mg/kg) versus placebo, with or without hydroxyurea/hydroxycarbamide therapy, in adolescent and adult Sickle Cell Disease patients with frequent vaso-occlusive crises.
detailed description
Study CSEG101A2303 (SPARKLE) is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study to assess efficacy and safety of crizanlizumab 5 mg/kg versus placebo, with or without hydroxyurea/ hydroxycarbamide therapy (HU/HC), in Sickle Cell Disease patients aged 12 years and older with frequent vaso-occlusive crises (4-12 events in 12 months prior to the screening visit).
Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the crizanlizumab 5 mg/kg or placebo treatment arm. Central randomization will be stratified by concomitant HU/HC usage (yes/no) and region (South America, North America, and sub-Saharan Africa) at baseline.
