    Crizanlizumab is a treatment to reduce the frequency of vaso-occlusive crisis – a common and painful complication of sickle cell disease that occurs when blood circulation is obstructed by sickled red blood cells – for those 16 years and older.[3]

    In November 2019, crizanlizumab-tmca was approved in the United States.[3][4][5]

    Pathophysiology

    P-selectin molecules are present on the surface of vascular endothelial cells and have been linked to sickle cell vaso-occlusive crises.[6][7][8]

    History

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved crizanlizumab based on evidence from one clinical trial (Trial 1/NCT01895361) of 132 patients with sickle cell diseases who had a history of vaso-occlusive crisis.[5] The trial was conducted at 60 sites in the United States, Brazil and Jamaica.[5]

    The FDA granted the application for crizanlizumab-tmca priority review, breakthrough therapy designation, and orphan drug designation.[3] The FDA granted approval of Adakveo to Novartis.[3][5]
