Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Readiness for Discharge From HospitalDay 1 up to the latest day when all 6 criteria of readiness-for-discharge were met (up to an average of Day 8)

Time to readiness-for-discharge from hospital was defined as the difference (in hours) between the time and date when all criteria for readiness-for-discharge were met and the start time and date of the first infusion (loading dose) of study drug. Criteria for readiness-for-discharge were met when all of the applicable 6 criteria (in relation to treatment of VOC and complications related to the VOC) were documented to have occurred. The six criteria were: 1) only oral pain medication was required, 2) acute complications related to the VOC (such as acute chest syndrome, stroke, priapism) had resolved to the extent that management could be in an outpatient setting, 3) IV opioids had been discontinued, 4) IV hydration had been discontinued, 5) IV antibiotics had been discontinued and 6) red blood cell (RBC) transfusion was no longer required for treatment of this VOC.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Discharge From HospitalDay 1 up to the latest day when the order of hospital discharge was issued by a qualified healthcare provider (up to an average of Day 8)

Time to discharge from hospital was defined as the difference (in hours) between the time and date of the hospital discharge order from a qualified healthcare provider and the start time and date of the first infusion (loading dose) of study drug.

Cumulative Intravenous (IV) Opioids Consumption From Time of Loading Dose of Study Drug to Discharge From HospitalDay 1 up to the latest day when IV opioid was discontinued (up to an average of Day 8)

Cumulative IV opioid consumption was reported as cumulative IV opioid use (standardized using morphine equivalent units \[MEU\]), from the start of the first infusion (loading dose) of study drug until hospital discharge.

Time to Discontinuation of Intravenous (IV) OpioidsDay 1 up to the latest day when IV opioid was discontinued (up to an average of Day 8)

Time to discontinuation of IV opioids was defined as the difference (in hours) between the stop time and date of the latest IV opioid dose and the start time and date of the first infusion (loading dose) of study drug.

Cumulative Intravenous (IV) Opioids Consumption Within First 24 Hours Post-Loading Dose of Study Drug24 hours post first IV infusion of loading dose of study drug on Day 1

Cumulative IV opioid consumption (standardized using MEU) was reported as IV opioid use in the first 24 hours from the start time of the first IV infusion (loading dose) of study drug.

Percentage of Participants Re-hospitalized for Vaso-Occlusive Crisis (VOC) Within 3 Days of Discharge From HospitalWithin 3 days of discharge from hospital, where discharge from hospital was any day from Day 1 to an average of Day 8

Percentage of participants who were re-hospitalized for a vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) within 3 days of discharge from hospital are reported.
