Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Understanding

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD): Overview

Sickle cell disease is the name given for a group of inherited conditions that affect the red blood cells and the most serious type is called Sickle cell anemia. Sickle cells are destroyed rapidly in the bodies of people with the disease, causing anemia which is why it is commonly known as sickle cell anemia. The sickle cells also block the flow of blood through vessels, resulting in lung tissue damage that causes acute chest syndrome, pain episodes, stroke, priapism and damage to the spleen, kidneys and liver. Sickle cell disease is a serious and lifelong condition, although long-term treatment can help manage many of the problems associated with it. The disease affects hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. There is an atypical hemoglobin molecule called hemoglobin S, which can distort red blood cells into a sickle, or crescent, shape. Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin-Beta gene found on chromosome.

""Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) - Pipeline Insight, 2024"" report by DelveInsight outlays comprehensive insights of present scenario and growth prospects across the indication. A detailed picture of the Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) pipeline landscape is provided which includes the disease overview and Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) treatment guidelines. The assessment part of the report embraces, in depth Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) commercial assessment and clinical assessment of the pipeline products under development. In the report, detailed description of the drug is given which includes mechanism of action of the drug, clinical studies, NDA approvals (if any), and product development activities comprising the technology, Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) collaborations, licensing, mergers and acquisition, funding, designations and other product related details.

Report Highlights

• The companies and academics are working to assess challenges and seek opportunities that could influence Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) R&D. The therapies under development are focused on novel approaches to treat/improve Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).

This segment of the Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Drugs

• BPX-501 T cells: Bellicum Pharmaceuticals

BPX-501 T cells (also known as Rivo-cel) is being developed by Bellicum Pharmaceuticals. BPX-501 T cells are derived from non-mobilized donor leukapheresis and are expanded, transduced and selected for the iC9 gene, cryopreserved and shipped back to the clinical site. Currently it is in Phase I/II stage of development for the treatment of Hematological Disorders. Rivo-cel is a T cell therapy incorporating CaspaCIDe safety switch intended to improve HSCT outcomes in the treatment of hematological malignancies and inherited blood disorders. Rivo-cel is designed to treat immunodeficiency following allogeneic HSCT, preventing morbidity and mortality due to disease relapse and infection.

• Canakinumab: Novartis

Novartis is developing Canakinumab (ACZ885), a selective, high-affinity, fully human monoclonal antibody that acts as an interleukin-1β (IL-1β) blocker in Phase II stage pf development for the treatment of Sickle Cell Anemia. IL-1β is a key cytokine in the inflammatory pathway known to drive the continued progression of inflammatory atherosclerosis. ACZ885 acts by blocking the action of IL-1β for a sustained period of time, therefore inhibiting inflammation that is caused by its over-production. Canakinumab is already approved under the brand name Ilaris for the treatment of Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) including Familial Cold Auto inflammatory Syndrome (FCAS) and Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS). Novartis is also developing ACZ885 for preventing cardiovascular risk. Company believe that ACZ885 is the first and only agent which has shown that selectively targeting inflammation significantly reduces cardiovascular risk in patients who have had a prior heart attack and have an increased cardiovascular inflammatory burden. Canakinumab is administered subcutaneously.

• EPI01: Novo Nordisk

EPI01 is an oral, fixed dose formulation of a DNA methyl-transferase enzyme 1 and cytidine deaminase inhibitor, decitabine and tetrahydrouridine, which has potential to work by increasing the amount of foetal haemoglobin that can substitute the defective haemoglobin in SCD patients, thereby intending to prevent the deformation of the red blood cells and improving the oxygen level in the blood. EpiDestiny has been granted Rare Pediatric Disease, Fast Track and Orphan Designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for EPI01.

• CTX001: Vertex Pharmaceuticals

CTX001 is an investigational, autologous, ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited therapy that is being evaluated for patients suffering from TDT or severe SCD, in which a patient’s hematopoietic stem cells are edited to produce high levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF; hemoglobin F) in red blood cells. HbF is a form of the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin that is naturally present at birth, which then switches to the adult form of hemoglobin. The elevation of HbF by CTX001 has the potential to alleviate transfusion requirements for patients with TDT and reduce painful and debilitating sickle crises for patients with SCD. Based on progress in this program to date, CTX001 has been granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT), Fast Track, Orphan Drug, and Rare Pediatric Disease designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for both TDT and SCD. CTX001 has also been granted Orphan Drug Designation from the European Commission for both TDT and SCD, as well as Priority Medicines (PRIME) designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for SCD. Currently it is being investigated in Phase III stage of development for SCD.
