The purpose of this global Phase I/II study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary food effect of ITU512 including the fetal hemoglobin (HbF)-inducing capacity of ITU512. This will be the first evaluation of the potential therapeutic effect of ITU512.
The study consists of a first-in-human Phase I study (Part 1) in healthy adult participants, and a Phase II study (Part 2) in adolescent and adult patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Part 1 will comprise of Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 1C. Part 2 will comprise of Part 2A, Part 2B and optional Part 2C extension. Recruitment centres listed below are planned to join Part 2 of the study. |
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a life-threatening genetic disorder with the global burden residing in sub-Saharan Africa. SCD is caused by a single mutation in the β globin gene resulting in the production of an abnormal form of hemoglobin. Patients with SCD are protected at birth due to high levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF), encoded by the γ globin gene. However, symptoms of SCD arise when expression of HbF declines, typically in the first year of life. ITU512, an orally available investigational compound, has been proven in pre-clinical studies to induce HbF expression, a therapeutic strategy which has been associated with improvement in clinical outcomes and increased survival in SCD patients.
