Study Description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary food effect of ITU512 as well as the fetal hemoglobin (HbF)-inducing capacity of ITU512. This will be the first evaluation of the potential therapeutic effect of ITU512 in healthy participants and patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). This is a global, randomized, Phase I/II study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary food effect of single-agent ITU512 in adult healthy participants, and safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and efficacy of ITU512 in adolescent and adult patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). The study consists of a first-in-human Phase I study (Part 1) in healthy participants, and a Phase II study (Part 2) in patients with SCD.
Part 1 will comprise of Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 1C. Part 2 may include an extension part.
