Brief Summary

Prolong proposes to test safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of SANGUINATE™ in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. Prolong's preclinical studies showed that SANGUINATE™ was safe in a number of different animal models and toxicology studies. In this Phase I trial, Prolong will test whether it is also safe and tolerable in sickle cell patients. The study will be conducted in 15 adult (\>18 years) patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluate the safety and tolerability of two dose regimen for SANGUINATE™ in sickle cell disease patients

  The following assessments will be used to evaluate the safety of SANGUINATE™ administration: * adverse events, serious adverse events * laboratory abnormalities by highest toxicity grade * laboratory abnormalities by largest increase in toxicity grade from baseline

  7 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Determine the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of SANGUINATE™ in sickle cell disease patients. Mean values by treatment received will be calculated for the following PK parameters for PEGylated bovine hemoglobin:

Study Arms (2)

Low dose SANGUINATE™

160 mg/kg of SANGUINATE™. SANGUINATE™ (PEG-bHb-CO) an OTA is composed of three moieties, polyethylene glycol, bHb and carbon monoxide that act in a specific manner to promote the delivery of oxygen to tissue. SANGUINATE™ was not developed to be used as a blood substitute. It is instead an oxygen transfer agent intended to functionally deliver and release oxygen to hypoxic tissues.

High dose of SANGUINATE™

320 mg/kg of SANGUINATE™. SANGUINATE™ (PEG-bHb-CO) an OTA is composed of three moieties, polyethylene glycol, bHb and carbon monoxide that act in a specific manner to promote the delivery of oxygen to tissue. SANGUINATE™ was not developed to be used as a blood substitute. It is instead an oxygen transfer agent intended to functionally deliver and release oxygen to hypoxic tissues.

Study Population

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) patients

You may qualify if:

• Patients must understand and be willing to give written informed consent prior to any study procedures or evaluations and be willing to adhere to all study schedules and requirements.
• Hb levels: \> 6 gr/dl - \<10 gr/dl;
• Age: \> 18 - 65 years;
• Body Mass Index ≥20 and ≤30 kg/m2;
• Documented 12-lead ECG with no clinically significant abnormalities, as determined by the Investigator;
• Female subjects of reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy (β-HCG) test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Day 0 prior to dosing. Female subjects must also be non-lactating;
• Adequate venous access and can receive intravenous infusions;
• Frequency of ER hospitalizations \< 6x/yr for SCD pain events documented "medical history".

You may not qualify if:

• In medical opinion of investigator, the patient is not an appropriate candidate;
• Patient is infected;
• The patient is Febrile;
• Patient has Acute chest syndrome or documented Sickle Cell Crisis;
• Patient with hemoglobin above 10gr/dl or below 6 gm/dl
• If female, pregnant or lactating;
• History of clinically significant disease, as determined by the Investigator;
• History of allergy or major allergic reaction considered to be clinically significant by the Investigator;
• Physical examination or 12-lead ECG result(s) considered to be clinically significant by the Investigator;
• Received or intending to receive a vaccination in the two weeks prior to dosing, or anytime during study participation;
• Unable to comply with study attendance, protocol procedures or other study requirements;
• Frequency of ER hospitalizations \> 6x/yr for SCD pain events;
• Patient has Renal or liver dysfunction;
• Patient has Severe pulmonary hypertension (index \> 3 meters per sec based on documented Echocardiograph);
• Any history of significant cardiac, renal, neurologic, metabolic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, chronic hepatic disease or any other disease which in the judgment of the investigator would interfere with the study or confound the results;
