NCT ID NCT07224360
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called anumigilimab in 63 adults with sickle cell disease to see if it is safe. Participants get weekly injections for 64 weeks, starting with a low dose that increases to their personal maximum. The goal is to reduce painful crises, but people will still need ongoing care.
