Phase 3: testing Crizanlizumab for Sickle Cell Disease

A phase III, multi-center, randomly assigned, compared with a dummy treatment, neither you nor the study doctors know who gets the real treatment study to assess how well it works and safety of crizanlizumab (5 mg/kg) versus dummy treatment (placebo), with or without hydroxyurea/hydroxycarbamide therapy, in adolescent and adult Sickle Cell Disease patients with frequent vaso-occlusive crises.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06439082 · Novartis Pharmaceuticals · enrollment listed as 354

What this phase means

Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
