Recruiting EARLY_PHASE1 Sickle Cell Disease

New treatment option for Sickle Cell Disease

Official title CS-206 in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06565026

What this study is testing

What is CS-206?

CS-206 is an investigational medicine, given as an injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for sickle cell disease.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The goal of this open label, single-arm clinical study is to learn about the safety and efficacy of CS-101 injection in treating sickle cell disease.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study

  • Participants must have at least one of the following conditions
  • At least 2 occurrences of any of the following events within 2 years prior to screening.
  • Acute pain crisis: requiring a visit to a medical facility and administration of pain medications (opioids or intravenous NSAIDs) or red blood cell transfusions.
  • Acute chest syndrome: defined by the presence of a new pulmonary infiltrate on a chest X-ray, associated with pneumonia-like symptoms, including chest pain, fever, or respiratory distress.
  • Priapism lasting more than 2 hours and necessitating a visit to a medical facility for intervention.

  • Participants who have failed, not tolerated, refused the standard of care for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), or are unable to access the standard of care due to the availability
  • Other situations deemed appropriate for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation according to the sickle cell anemia treatment guidelines, as determined by the investigator.

  • people who have received or are receiving luspatercept treatment within 3 months prior to screening.
  • people who have previously received any gene therapy for the disease.
  • people with a fully matched related donor who are already scheduled for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  • More than 10 unplanned hospitalizations or emergency visits within 12 months prior to screening, which the investigator believes are related to significant chronic pain rather than acute pain crisis (VOC).
