-
In August 2025, Pfizer is reevaluating its strategy after its investigational sickle cell disease therapy did not meet the primary endpoint in the Phase III THRIVE-131 trial (NCT04935879). The study, which assessed the P-selectin inhibitor inclacumab in patients aged 16 and older with sickle cell disease, failed to show a significant reduction in vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) over 48 weeks, raising uncertainty about the drug’s future development.
-
In June 2025, Ellarity has begun dosing the first participant in its Phase I clinical trial of CLY-124, an oral drug candidate for treating sickle cell disease (SCD). This milestone follows the US FDA’s approval of the company’s investigational new drug (IND) application. The global study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the therapy, initially in healthy volunteers and later in patients with SCD.
-
In June 2025, The US FDA has granted a special designation to Vascarta’s lead candidate, VAS-101 (Vasceptor), for treating sickle cell disease (SCD). This designation provides benefits such as seven years of market exclusivity post-approval and exemptions from certain FDA fees. VAS-101 is a patented topical curcumin formulation developed using Vascarta’s transdermal delivery technology to overcome the poor bioavailability and limited efficacy of oral curcumin. Preclinical animal studies suggest that VAS-101 may help reduce chronic pain, enhance red blood cell stability, and lower inflammation in patients with SCD.

Sickle Cell Disease Overview
Sickle Cell Disease is a hereditary blood disorder caused by a mutation in the gene that produces hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen. This mutation leads to the formation of abnormally shaped, rigid “sickle” red blood cells that can block blood flow, causing pain episodes known as vaso-occlusive crises, anemia, organ damage, and increased risk of infections. SCD is typically inherited from both parents and affects millions worldwide, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Management focuses on preventing complications, reducing pain, and improving quality of life.
