Sickle cell drug safety in pregnancy: small study completed

NCT ID NCT07554547

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study monitored pregnancy and infant outcomes in 13 women with sickle cell disease who were treated with the drug crizanlizumab (Adakveo) during pregnancy or shortly before. The goal was to track rates of fetal loss and birth defects. Because it was a small observational study, it provides early safety data but cannot prove the drug is safe or effective during pregnancy.
