Alternative Dosing And Prevention of Transfusions (ADAPT): A prospective study to reduce transfusion requirements for children with sickle cell anemia using pharmacokinetics-based hydroxyurea dosing
REFNo: HS2093ES

Primary Objective • To compare the rates of blood transfusions overall and by specific indications in children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA), prior to and during hydroxyurea treatment Secondary Objectives • To determine clinical and laboratory factors associated with reduction in blood transfusions for children with SCA on hydroxyurea treatment
• To assess the feasibility and safety of a pharmacokinetic (PK)-based hydroxyurea dose within the predicted treatment range for Uganda
• To quantify rates of SCA-related complications (including stroke, sepsis, and pain) in participants receiving PK-guided hydroxyurea dosing and within the overall cohort on hydroxyurea treatment
