Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic effects of GBT440 compared with placebo in healthy subjects and subjects with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety, as assessed by frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs), and changes in vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), and laboratory assessments as compared to baseline [30 - 118 days]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Blood and plasma area under the concentration time curve (AUC) of GBT440 [30 - 118 days]
- Blood and plasma maximum concentration (Cmax) of GBT440 [30 - 118 days]
- Blood and plasma time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of GBT440 [30 - 118 days]
- Percentage of hemoglobin occupied or modified by GBT440 [30 days]
- Change from baseline in heart rate and pulse oximetry following exercise testing in healthy volunteers [30 days]
Other Outcome Measures
- Percentage of sickled cells under ex vivo conditions [30 - 90 days]
- Effect of GBT440 on hemolysis as measured by LDH, direct bilirubin, hemoglobin, and reticulocyte count [30 - 118 days]
- Change from baseline in pain as measured by visual analog scale [30 days]
- Change from baseline in fatigue as measured by questionnaire [30 - 118 days]
- Exercise capacity as measured by 6-minute walk test [30 - 90 days]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

-
Subjects with sickle cell disease who smoke >10 cigarettes per day; have hemoglobin level <6 g/dL or >10.4 g/dL (> ULN (appropriately corrected for gender) for Cohort 15) at screening; have aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >4x upper limit of normal or alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or alkaline phosphatase (ALK) >3x upper limit of normal reference range (ULN) at screening; have moderate or severe renal dysfunction
