First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This early-stage study tested a new drug, Pociredir (FTX-6058), in 45 adults with sickle cell disease. The main goal was to check safety and how the body processes the drug. Researchers also looked at whether it could increase fetal hemoglobin, which may help reduce painful crises. This is not a cure, but a potential way to manage the disease.
