- Proportion of patients with adverse events and serious adverse events [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
- Incidence of Adverse Events
- Incidence of Serious Adverse Events
- Proportion of patients with changes in safety cardiac parameters [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
-
Changes in 12-lead ECG parameters that are clinically significant and measured in milliseconds (ms).
The parameters are: PR interval, QRS duration, QT interval, ST segment duration and T wave duration.
- Changes in 12-lead ECG parameters that are clinically significant and interpreted by the investigator as consistent with ischemia or infarction.
-
- Proportion of patients with changes in clinical laboratory tests [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]a. Clinically significant changes in clinical laboratory tests including serum chemistry, serum hematology and urinalysis
- Proportion of patients with clinically significant abnormal vital signs [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]
- Blood pressure measured in mmHg
- Pulse measured in beats per minute
- Respiration rate measured in breaths per minutes
- Temperature as measured in degrees F0 or C0
- PK of IMR-867: Maximum plasma concentration of IMR-687 (Cmax) [ Time Frame: 1, 4 and 12 weeks ]Cmax will be recorded from the PK serum samples collected.
- PK of IMR-867: Area under the Curve (AUC) of IMR-687 [ Time Frame: 1, 4 and 12 weeks ]AUC will be recorded from the PK serum samples collected
- PK of hydroxyurea: Maximum plasma concentration of hydroxyurea [ Time Frame: Baseline and 4 weeks ]Cmax will be recorded from the PK serum samples collected.
- PK of hydroxyurea: Area under the curve (AUC) of hydroxyurea [ Time Frame: Baseline and 4 weeks ]AUC will be recorded from the PK serum samples collected
