Brief Summary:
Study of IMR-687 in adult participants with sickle cell anemia (SCA) (homozygous HbSS or sickle-β0 thalassemia).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Sickle Cell Disease Drug: IMR-687 Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a proof-of-concept study in adult SCA participants, ages 18 to 55 years old, to examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK), as well as the potential pharmacodynamic (PD) effects and clinical efficacy, of IMR-687 across a range of doses.

IMR-687 was administered in 2 populations of participants with SCA: those who were not receiving hydroxyurea (HU) and those who were receiving a stable dose of HU according to standard of care.

 Drug: IMR-687
Oral administration of IMR-687 once daily with or without HU.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Matching placebo was administered for 16 (Week 17) or 24 weeks (Week 25).
 Drug: Placebo
Oral administration of placebo once daily with or without HU.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number Of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) And Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 (after dosing) through up to Week 24 ]
    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE was defined as any AE that resulted in 1 or more of the following outcomes: death, required or prolonged hospitalization, life-threatening, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect, or other medically important event. A summary of serious and all other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Of Participants Who Did Not Concomitantly Receive HU: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) Of IMR-687 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Week 25 ]
    For PK assessments of participants who did not concomitantly receive HU, serial blood samples for IMR-687 plasma concentrations were drawn predose at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after administration of study drug; and at 24 hours after administration of study drug. Day 1 (single-dose) and steady-state (Week 25) assessments are presented.

  2. PK Of Participants Who Did Not Concomitantly Receive HU: Area Under The Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 To 24 Hours Postdose (AUC0-24h) Of IMR-687 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Week 25 ]
    For PK assessments of participants who did not concomitantly receive HU, serial blood samples for IMR-687 plasma concentrations were drawn predose at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after administration of study drug; and at 24 hours after administration of study drug. Day 1 (single-dose) and steady-state (Week 25) assessments are presented.

  3. PK Of Participants Who Concomitantly Received HU: Cmax Of IMR-687 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Week 17 ]
    For PK assessments of participants who concomitantly received HU, serial blood samples for IMR-687 PK were drawn predose at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after administration of study drug; and at 24 hours after administration of study drug. Day 1 (single-dose) and steady-state (Week 17) assessments are presented.

  4. PK Of Participants Who Concomitantly Received HU: AUC0-24h Of IMR-687 [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Week 17 ]
    For PK assessments of participants who concomitantly received HU, serial blood samples for IMR-687 plasma concentrations were drawn predose at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after administration of study drug; and at 24 hours after administration of study drug. Day 1 (single-dose) and steady-state (Week 17) assessments are presented.

  5. PK Of Participants Who Concomitantly Received HU: Cmax Of HU [ Time Frame: Baseline (1 and 2) and Week 17 ]
    For PK assessments of participants who concomitantly received HU, serial blood samples for HU PK were drawn predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 8, and 10 hours after self-administration of the prescribed dose of HU. HU in the presence (end of treatment [EOT]: Week 17) or absence of IMR-687 (Baselines 1 and 2) are presented. HU concentration data were not sorted with respect to HU dose.

  6. PK Of Participants Who Concomitantly Received HU: AUC0-24h Of HU [ Time Frame: Baseline (1 and 2) and Week 17 ]
    For PK assessments of participants who concomitantly received HU, serial blood samples for HU PK were drawn predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 3, 6, 8, and 10 hours after self-administration of the prescribed dose of HU. HU in the presence (EOT: Week 17) or absence of IMR-687 (Baselines 1 and 2) are presented. HU concentration data were not sorted with respect to HU dose.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change From Baseline In F-Cells [ Time Frame: Baseline, EOT (Week 25 for participants without HU and Weeks 17 or 25 for participants with HU) ]
    Absolute least squares (LS) mean change from baseline at EOT is presented. Change from baseline in pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers was analyzed using mixed models for repeated measures with covariate of treatment, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, and baseline value.
