Last updated: June 29, 2026
Sponsor: Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Overall Status: Active - Recruiting

Phase

1/2

Condition

Sickle Cell Disease

Red Blood Cell Disorders

Treatment

Placebo

ITU512

Clinical Study ID

NCT06546670
CITU512A12101
2024-515696-35-00
  • Ages 12-55
  • All Genders
  • Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Study Summary

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).

Part 2 (Sickle Cell Disease)

  • Male and female participants with a diagnosis of sickle cell disease

Exclusion

Key Exclusion Criteria:

Part 1 (Healthy participants)

  • History of arrhythmias

  • History of significant illness which has not resolved within two (2) weeks prior toinitial dosing

  • Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP)

Part 2 (Sickle Cell Disease)

Study Description

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 will include Part 2A and 2B and may also include an extension part (Part 2C).
