Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Etavopivat   Cohort A: Single-agent etavopivat in patients with cTCD, or patients with aTCD (11 maximum patients with cTCD). Patients will be enrolled into a 52-week primary treatment period and a 48-week optional extension treatment period. The optional extension treatment period will allow continued assessment of safety of etavopivat in paediatric patients. Patients will receive a dose of 400 mg (two 200 mg oral tablets) etavopivat QD (once daily). Cohort B: Etavopivat in combination with HU – a) patients with aTCD on stable dose of HU, b) patients with cTCD on stable dose of HU (11 maximum patients). Patients will be enrolled into a 52-week primary treatment period and a 48-week optional extension treatment period. The optional extension treatment period will allow continued assessment of safety of etavopivat in paediatric patients. Patients will receive a dose of 400 mg (two 200 mg oral tablets) etavopivat QD (once daily). A separate study is planned to offer study patients prolonged etavopivat treatment until available for prescription in their country or until development of etavopivat is otherwise discontinued. If/when such a study becomes available, patients may transfer to the new study after completion of the 52-week primary treatment period. Patients need to perform the assessments scheduled for End of Primary Treatment (EOPT) and will not complete the End of Study (EOS) visit before transfer to a separate study. This will potentially lead to closure of study 4202-HEM-204 before all patients have completed the extension treatment period.

This includes patients with cTCD (170-199 cm per s) or aTCD (Greater than or equal to 200 cm per s).
Note: Patients with aTCD must have refused transfusion therapy.
5. Hb Greater than or equal to 6g per dL and Lesser than or equal to 9 g per dL at Screening.
6. For participants with aTCD and cTCD and already taking HU, the dose of HU (mg per kg) must be stable (no more than a 20-percentage change in dosing except for weight-based changes) for at least 90 days prior to start of study treatment with no anticipated need for dose adjustments except for weight-based changes during the study, in the opinion of the Investigator.

Brief Summary  

This is an open-label, Phase 2 study in adolescent patients 12 to 16 years old (inclusive) with increased risk of stroke based on elevated TAMMV in the MCA and/or ICA as measured by TCD, including both cTCD and aTCD. The study will enroll 23 patients (accounting for potential 20% drop-out) into each of 2 treatment cohorts:

Cohort A: Single-agent etavopivat in patients with cTCD, or patients with aTCD who are not candidates for hydroxyurea (HU), as determined by investigator (11 maximum patients with cTCD)

Cohort B: Etavopivat in combination with HU – a) patients with aTCD on stable dose of HU, b) patients with cTCD on stable dose of HU (11 maximum patients) 

Patients will be enrolled into a 52-week primary treatment period and a 48-week optional extension treatment period. The optional extension treatment period will allow continued assessment of safety of etavopivat in paediatric patients. A separate study is planned to offer study patients prolonged etavopivat treatment until available for prescription in their country or until development of etavopivat is otherwise discontinued. If/when such a study becomes available, patients may transfer to the new study after completion of the 52-week primary treatment period. Patients need to perform the assessments scheduled for End of Primary Treatment (EOPT) and will not complete the End of Study (EOS) visit before transfer to a separate study. This will potentially lead to closure of study 4202-HEM-204 before all patients have completed the optional extension treatment period. Etavopivat will be administered at 400 mg once daily (QD). The study objectives to assess impact on TCD velocities will be met after all subjects complete 52 weeks of treatment, discontinue, or withdraw
