  • Research summary

    Summary of Results

    The study was early terminated due to the results of the interim analysis which demonstrated that while the study drug (IMR-687) was generally well tolerated, it failed to show any meaningful benefit in transfusion burden or improvement in most disease-related biomarkers. Investigators were notified on 06 April 2022 to contact patients and instruct them to stop taking the study drug and return to the site for their last study visit. Based on these results, the sponsor decided to discontinue this study as well as future development of IMR-687 in in sickle cell disease, therefore an abbreviated CSR has been issued.
