Brief Summary:
This Phase 1b study in adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) in steady-state (non-acutely ill) aims to evaluate safety and toxicity of NVX-508 in a multi-dosing paradigm as well as to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in this population. The information gained from this study will be used in making decisions about the appropriate dose(s) and dosing schedule in future multicenter studies of the efficacy of NVX-508 in the treatment of vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
