New drug tested for debilitating blood disorder

NCT ID NCT01245179

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety of an oral drug called panobinostat in adults with sickle cell disease who haven't responded well to standard treatment. Researchers want to find the highest dose patients can tolerate without severe side effects. The study will also check if the drug increases fetal hemoglobin, which can reduce sickle cell complications.
