Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it is safe and effective for people with sickle cell disease.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 with sickle cell disease (SCD), specific genotypes, and low fetal hemoglobin can join. They must have had multiple SCD complications despite treatment with drugs like Hydroxyurea or be ineligible for chronic transfusions due to side effects.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing FTX-6058 oral capsules to see if they're safe and how they affect the body in people with SCD. It looks at how the drug moves through and out of the body, as well as its impact on disease factors.
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed but generally, participants will be monitored for any adverse reactions related to taking FTX-6058 capsules which could range from mild digestive issues to more serious blood-related problems.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: FTX-6058 oral capsule(s) in Sickle Cell participantsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cohort 1 will receive 6 mg of FTX-6058 by mouth once daily. Cohort 2 will be dosed at 2 mg once daily by mouth, and cohort 3 will be dosed at 12 mg once daily by mouth. The Sponsor will reinitiate enrolment in the 3rd cohort (12 mg cohort) with the updated inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on review of available safety and biomarker data and with the recommendation of the DMC, a subsequent 4th cohort of 20 mg and potentially a 5th cohort of 30 mg may be initiated. A total of seven cohorts may be included. Following the first cohort, doses for all subsequent cohorts will be determined following DMC review of the safety and pharmacokinetic data observed in participants from the prior and ongoing cohorts. Alternate dosing schedules may be evaluated in some of the cohorts.
