To compare the efficacy of 5 mg/kg of crizanlizumab versus placebo, with or without hydroxyurea/hydroxycarbamide, on the annualized rate of all VOCs including VOCs that are HCP-managed (including VOCs leading to management at a health care facility or those managed via remote consultation) and VOCs that are self-managed without recommendations from HCP during the event over the planned 52 week treatment period in SCD patients aged 12 years and older with a history of frequent VOCs (4-12 events in the 12 months prior to the Screeening visit
To evaluate the annualized rate of VOCs by type of management between treatment arms over the planned 52-week treatment period: • VOCs that are HCP-managed at a health care facility • VOCs that are HCP-managed via remote consultation • VOCs that are self-managed without recommendations from HCP during the event • VOCs that are HCP-managed via remote consultation or self-managed without recommendations from HCP during the event
To evaluate the time to first VOC that is HCP managed (including VOCs leading to management at a health care facility or those managed via remote consultation) between treatment arms over the planned 52-week treatment period.
To evaluate the proportion of participants free from VOCs that are HCP-managed (including VOCs leading to management at a health care facility or those managed via remote consultation) between treatment arms over the planned 52-week treatment period.
