Summary
This study tested a drug called crizanlizumab in 36 men with sickle cell disease who suffer from priapism—painful, unwanted erections lasting an hour or more. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce how often these episodes happen over 26 weeks. Participants reported their erections using an electronic system, and the results were compared to their baseline rates.
