The Novel use Of Hydroxyurea in an African Region with Malaria (NOHARM) study is the first
placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial of hydroxyurea treatment in a malaria endemic
region. NOHARM has now achieved full enrollment; all children have completed the blinded
portion of the protocol and are in the open-label study treatment portion.
This extension study of maximum tolerated dose (MTD), addresses the next critical set of
questions about the optimal dosing and monitoring of hydroxyurea treatment for children with
SCA in low-resource settings. By providing guidance about optimal hydroxyurea treatment, the
NOHARM MTD Study will directly inform policies that can transform the health of African
children living with SCA.

Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria: - Children with confirmed SCA who participated in the NOHARM study of hydroxyurea at the Mulago Hospital Sickle Cell Clinic (MHSCC), will be eligible for the MTD study after completing both 12-months of blinded study treatment and then an additional 12-months of open-label hydroxyurea for the second year of the study. - The age range for enrollment into NOHARM, which began in 2014, was 1-4 years. Therefore, the children who will be enrolled in the follow up MTD study will be 3-6 years of age. Exclusion Criteria: - Not willing to come for all scheduled clinical visits or accept randomization |
