- Registration Number
- NCT06578507
- Lead Sponsor
- Theravia
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this interventional, phase II, national, multicentric, non-randomised, open-label study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy and safety of Hydroxycarbamide Paediatric dispersible tablets with a twice daily dosing regimen in children with Sickle Celle Disease between 9 months to 11 years of age.
Participants will:
* Take Hydroxycarbamide twice a day every day for 12 months
* Visit the clinic at screening, baseline, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

Group Intervention Description Hydroxycarbamide Pediatric dispersible tablet Hydroxycarbamid Hydroxycarbamide Pediatric dispersible tablet will be administered twice daily during 12 months.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evaluate the PK exposure for Hydroxycarbamide Paediatric dispersible tablets administered BID through area under the curve (AUC) 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment initiation Evaluate the PK exposure for Hydroxycarbamide Paediatric dispersible tablets administered BID through maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment initiation Evaluate the PK exposure for Hydroxycarbamide Paediatric dispersible tablets administered BID through time to obtain the maximum concentration (Tmax) 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment initiation
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Absolute mean change from baseline in HbF levels Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment initiation Daily AUC (AUC0-24h) at maintenance dose derived from the final PPK model Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment initiation Absolute mean change from baseline in haematological parameters Baseline,1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment initiation Distribution of the scores related to the ease of using the administration kit for treatment administration to the child based on a 5-point Likert scale evaluated by the parent(s) or legally acceptable representative(s) 3 months after treatment initiation Score 1 : very difficult to score 5 : very easy
Proportion of patients with a relative difference in Cmax ≥ 30% from BID maintenance dose relative to the one simulated on a once daily regimen giving an equivalent AUC0-24h. Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment initiation Number of SCD events occurring during the study Baseline, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after treatment initiation HC plasma concentrations and HbF levels Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment initiation Acceptability score based on a 5-point Likert scale evaluated by the parent(s) or legally acceptable representative(s) 3 months after treatment initiation Compliance with Hydroxycarbamide Paediatric dispersible tablets administered BID by treatment unit accountability calculated by the pharmacy (patient will bring the kits with used and unused bottles to the pharmacy at each visit) Baseline, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after treatment initiation Number of adverse events (AEs) and percentage of patients reporting at least one AE Baseline, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after treatment initiation Acceptability score based on a hedonic face scale evaluated by the child from 3 years old 3 months after treatment initiation
