Study of the Effect of Etavopivat on Cerebral Hemodynamic Response in Children With Sickle Cell Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT05725902
- Lead Sponsor
- Forma Therapeutics, Inc.
- Brief Summary
An open-label, single arm study in patients 12 to 21 years of age with SCD to evaluate the effects of etavopivat on cerebral and muscle hemodynamics.
- Detailed Description
This study is a pilot, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the effect of etavopivat on cerebral hemodynamics, as measured by frequency domain near-infrared spectroscopy/diffuse correlation spectroscopy (FDNIRS/DCS) in participants 12 to 21 years of age with sickle cell disease (SCD). Cerebral blood flow (CBF), oxygen ejection fraction (OEF), and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) will be assessed FDNIRS/DCS in participants prior to, periodically throughout, and after 24 weeks of treatment with etavopivat. Approximately 12 participants will be enrolled.
The duration of study treatment will be 24 weeks. The study duration for individual participants may last up to 36 to 38 weeks and includes the Screening Period (up to 4 weeks before study treatment), the 24-week treatment period, a Safety Follow-up Visit at 4 weeks (+ 7 days) after the last dose of study drug, and an End of Study (EOS) visit approximately 8 weeks (± 7 days) after the last dose of study drug. A participant is considered to have completed the study if he or she has completed all phases of the study including the last visit or the last scheduled procedure shown in the Schedule of Events.

Group Intervention Description Etavopivat Etavopivat Single-arm, open-label
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Effect of etavopivat on cerebral blood flow (CBF) 24 weeks Change in cerebral blood flow (CBF) assessments from baseline will be summarized with descriptive statistics by nominal study visit.
Effect of etavopivat on cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) 24 weeks Change in CMRO2 assessments from baseline will be summarized with descriptive statistics by nominal study visit.
Effect of etavopivat on oxygen ejection fraction (OEF) 24 weeks Change in OEF assessments from baseline will be summarized with descriptive statistics by nominal study visit.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Relationship between CBF and change in Hb levels 24 weeks The change from baseline of CBF will be correlated to the corresponding post-baseline assessment for change in Hb.
Relationship between oxygen ejection fraction (OEF) and change in Hb levels 24 weeks The change from baseline of OEF will be correlated to the corresponding post-baseline assessment for change in Hb.
Relationship between cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) and change in Hb levels 24 weeks The change from baseline of CMRO2 will be correlated to the corresponding post-baseline assessment for change in Hb.
