SCD-related chronic kidney disease (CKD) 6. Meet medical criteria to receive (e.g., post-cerebrovascular accident) but are contraindicated for chronic transfusions (e.g., alloimmunization, transfusion reactions) - Previous experience with Hydroxyurea (HU) but have shown to be unresponsive and/or intolerant or ineligible AND - Previous experience with a stable dose of voxelotor, crizanlizumab, and/ or L-glutamine but have shown to be unresponsive and/or intolerant or ineligible - Per Investigator's recommendation, participants may continue crizanlizumab and/or L-glutamine but must be on a stable dose for at least 6 months - HbF ≤ 20% of total Hb - Total Hb ≥ 5.5 g/dL and ≤ 12 g/dl (males) or ≤ 10.6 g/dl (females) at screening. - Participant must meet both of the following laboratory values at screening: 1. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 10^9 per liter (/l) 2. Platelets ≥ 80 × 10^9/l 3. Absolute reticulocyte count at screening ≥ 100 x 10^9/l.
Exclusion Criteria
- Sickle cell complication requiring care from a medical provider in hospital or emergency care setting in the 14 days prior to starting study drug. - History of bone marrow transplant or human stem cell transplant or gene therapies. - • Participants with a history of severe renal disease defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73m^2. Participants on dialysis of any kind are excluded. - Participants receiving regularly scheduled transfusions or therapeutic phlebotomies, or any participant who has been transfused within 60 days prior to initiating study drug. - Participant with active malignancy, or history of cancer (except for squamous cell skin cancer, basal cell skin cancer, and stage 0 cervical carcinoma in situ, with no recurrence for the last 5 years), or has an immediate family member with known or suspected familial cancer syndrome. Known presence of a chromosomal abnormality or genetic mutation that may put the participant at an increased risk of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). - Participant currently on HU, or have received HU, within 60 days prior to initiating study drug.

Experimental Pociredir oral capsule(s) in Sickle Cell participants |
Cohort 1 will receive 6 mg of Pociredir by mouth once daily. Cohort 2 will be dosed at 2 mg once daily by mouth, and cohort 3 will be dosed at 12 mg once daily by mouth. The Sponsor will reinitiate enrolment in the 3rd cohort (12 mg cohort) with the updated inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on review of available safety and biomarker data and with the recommendation of the DMC, a subsequent 4th cohort of 20 mg and potentially a 5th cohort of 30 mg may be initiated. A total of seven cohorts may be included. Following the first cohort, doses for all subsequent cohorts will be determined following DMC review of the safety and pharmacokinetic data observed in participants from the prior and ongoing cohorts. Alternate dosing schedules may be evaluated in some of the cohorts. |

Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1 multicenter, international, open-label study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), fetal hemoglobin (HbF) induction and biological activity of Pociredir in participants 18-65 years of age, inclusive, with SCD. Participants will receive 12 weeks of dosing with 4 weeks of follow-up. Approximately 10 participants will be enrolled in each cohort. A maximum of 3 participants with SCD HbSC+ genotype may be enrolled in each cohort. Cohort 1 will receive 6 milligrams (mg) of Pociredir by mouth once daily. Doses for subsequent cohorts will be determined following review by the Data Monitoring Committee [DMC]. A total of seven cohorts may be included. Cohort 2 will be dosed at 2 mg once daily by mouth, and cohort 3 will be dosed at 12 mg once daily by mouth. The Sponsor will reinitiate enrolment in the 3rd cohort (12 mg cohort) with the updated inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on review of available safety and biomarker data and with the recommendation of the DMC, a subsequent 4th cohort of 20 mg and potentially a 5th cohort of 30 mg may be initiated. Additional cohorts using alternative dosing schedules may be considered based on available data. The primary endpoints of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Pociredir as measured by the frequency of adverse events and to evaluate single and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of Pociredir in participants with sickle cell disease. Secondary endpoints include evaluating the effect of Pociredir on fetal hemoglobin induction in peripheral blood and evaluating the effects of Pociredir on hemolysis in participants with sickle cell disease.
