Study Stopped
Emerging clinical data evaluated by Pfizer and shared with regulatory authorities indicates that the risk profile of voxelotor in people with SCD exceeds the benefits observed in previously generated global research and requires further assessment.

Brief Summary
This study consists of four parts, Parts A, B, C, and D.
- Part A is a single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study in pediatric participants with Sickle Cell Disease ages 6 to 17 years.
- Part B is a multiple dose, safety, exploratory, efficacy, and PK study in adolescent participants with Sickle Cell Disease ages 12 to 17 years.
- Part C is a multiple dose, safety, tolerability, and PK study, which includes the assessment of hematological effects and the effect on TCD flow velocity of voxelotor in pediatric participants with Sickle Cell Disease ages 4 to 17 years.
- Part D is a multiple dose, safety, tolerability, and PK study, which examines the hematological effects of voxelotor in pediatric participants with Sickle Cell Disease ages 6 months to \< 4 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Part A: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Voxelotor in Whole Blood
pre-dose, 2, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168 and 336 hours post-dose
Part A: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-last) of Voxelotor in Whole Blood
AUC0-last was calculated using the linear/log trapezoid rule.
pre-dose, 2, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168 and 336 hours post-dose
Part A: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Voxelotor in Whole Blood
AUC0-inf was calculated as AUCt + Ct/lambdaz, where AUCt=area under the concentration-time curve at designated time, Ct is the last quantifiable concentration for whole blood and lambdaz=elimination rate constant.
pre-dose, 2, 8, 24, 48, 96,168 and 336 hours post-dose
Part B: Change From Baseline to Week 24 in Hemoglobin Level
Baseline, Week 24
Part C: Change From Baseline to Week 48 in Cerebral Blood Flow
Cerebral blood flow was measured using transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography. Change from baseline in cerebral blood flow as measured by the time-averaged mean of the maximum (TAMM) TCD velocity is reported.
Baseline, Week 48
Part D: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product during the course of a clinical investigation. TEAE was defined as an AE that emerged on or after initiation of study drug (having been absent pre-treatment), or an AE that existed pre-treatment and worsened on treatment (relative to the pre-treatment state) through 28 days after study drug discontinuation. An SAE was any AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life threatening adverse drug experience, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect, other important medical events. AEs were classified as SCD-related and non-SCD related.
From start of study treatment up to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to 52 weeks)
Secondary Outcomes (48)
Part A: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Voxelotor in Plasma
pre-dose, 2, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168 and 336 hours post-dose
Part A: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Voxelotor in Red Blood Cells (RBC)
pre-dose, 2, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168 and 336 hours post-dose
Part A: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-last) of Voxelotor in Plasma
pre-dose, 2, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168 and 336 hours post-dose
Part A: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-last) of Voxelotor in RBC
pre-dose, 2, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168 and 336 hours post-dose
Part A: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Voxelotor in Plasma
pre-dose, 2, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168 and 336 hours post-dose
