Clinical Trial Summary

This study is being conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of an investigational drug, PF-04447943, in subjects with stable sickle cell disease with and without co-administration with hydroxyurea. This study will also aid in selecting the doses for future studies and evaluation of substances in the blood which may help access the effectiveness of the drug.

- Treatment with an investigational drug within 2 months (or as determined by the local requirement, whichever is longer) or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of study medication.

- 12-lead ECG demonstrating QTc >450 or a QRS interval >120 msec msec at Screening.

- Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.

- A family history of long QT syndrome and/or ECG abnormalities at screening or randomization, including those listed below:

- Subjects with pre-randomization evidence of QTcF prolongation (defined as >450 ms) at screening or baseline are not eligible for randomization.

- Predominant heart rhythm other than normal sinus rhythm eg, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia.

- Atrioventricular (AV) block greater than first degree.

- Use of concomitant medications that prolong the QT/QTc interval

- Pregnant females and, breast feeding females and females of childbearing potential; male and female subjects of childbearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use highly effective methods of contraception as outlined in this protocol for the duration of the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose of investigational product.

- Subjects who lack the capacity to consent for themselves.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Important (PCI) Change From Baseline in Vital Signs Number of participants with changes from baseline in vital signs meeting the following criteria is presented: (1) maximum increase from baseline in supine systolic blood pressure (SBP) >=30 millimeters of mercury (mmHg); (2) maximum increase from baseline in supine diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >=20 mmHg; (3) maximum decrease from baseline in supine SBP >=30 mmHg; and (4) maximum decrease from baseline in supine DBP >=20 mmHg. Baseline up to 30 days post last dose on Day 29
Primary Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Important (PCI) Change From Baseline in Neurologic Function Clinical assessment of neurologic functions included cranial nerve function, coordination, deep tendon reflexes, muscle strength, and reflexes (left and right ankles). Clinical importance of neurologic function changes was determined by the investigator. Baseline up to Day 29
Primary Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Important (PCI) Change in Physical Examination Findings Physical examination included head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, skin, heart and lung examinations, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and neurological systems. Clinical importance of physical examination changes was determined by the investigator. Baseline up to 30 days post last dose on Day 29
Primary Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Treatment-Emergent Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings Maximum absolute values and increases from baseline were summarized for PR interval (time from the beginning of P wave to the start of QRS complex, corresponding to the end of atrial depolarization and onset of ventricular depolarization), QRS complex (time from Q wave to the end of S wave, corresponding to ventricle depolarization), and QTcF interval (time from the beginning of Q wave to the end of T wave corresponding to electrical systole corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula). Number of participants with ECG findings meeting the following criteria is presented: (1) PR interval >=300 msec; (2) QRS complex >=200 msec; (3) QTcF interval: 450 to <480 msec; (4) QTcF interval: 480 to <500 msec; (5) QTcF interval >=500 msec; (6) PR interval percent increase from baseline >=25/50 percent; (7) QRS complex percent increase from baseline >=25/50 percent; (8) QTcF interval increase from baseline: 30 to <60 msec; (9) QTcF interval increase from baseline >=60 msec. Baseline up to 30 days post last dose on Day 29
Primary Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Important (PCI) Change From Baseline in Symptoms of Sickle Cell Disease The following symptoms were assessed: anemia; fatigue; chronic pain; acute pain; infections; fever; swelling hands; swelling feet; abdominal swelling; pale skin; pale nail beds; yellow tint to skin; whites of eyes turned yellow; stroke. Number of participants with changes from baseline deemed potentially clinically important by the investigator is presented. Baseline up to 30 days post last dose on Day 29
Primary Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product or medical device, regardless of its causal relationship with study treatment. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; was life-threatening (immediate risk of death); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent AEs are events between first dose of study drug and up to follow-up visit (30 days post last dose on Day 29) that were absent before treatment or that worsened after treatment. AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs. Day 1 to 30 days post last dose on Day 29
