The efficacy and safety of OXBRYTA in SCD was evaluated in HOPE, a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial [NCT 03036813]. In this study, 274 patients were randomized to daily oral administration of OXBRYTA 1,500 mg (N=90), OXBRYTA 900 mg (N=92), or placebo (N=92). Patients were included if they had from 1 to 10 vasoocclusive crisis (VOC) events within 12 months prior to enrollment and baseline hemoglobin (Hb) ≥5.5 to ≤10.5 g/dL. Eligible patients on stable doses of hydroxyurea for at least 90 days were allowed to continue hydroxyurea therapy throughout the study. Randomization was stratified by patients already receiving hydroxyurea (yes, no), geographic region (North America, Europe, Other), and age (12 to <17 years, 18 to 65 years). The trial excluded patients who received red blood cell (RBC) transfusions within 60 days and erythropoietin within 28 days of enrollment, had renal insufficiency, uncontrolled liver disease, were pregnant, or lactating.
The majority of patients had HbSS or HbS/beta0-thalassemia genotype (90%) and were receiving background hydroxyurea therapy (65%). The median age was 24 years (range: 12 to 64 years); 46 (17%) patients were 12 to <17 years. Median baseline Hb was 8.5 g/dL (5.9 to 10.8 g/dL). One hundred and fifteen (42%) had 1 VOC event and 159 (58%) had 2 to 10 events within 12 months prior to enrollment. In the OXBRYTA 1,500 mg group, 63 (70%) patients completed the study through Week 72.
Efficacy was based on Hb response rate defined as a Hb increase of >1 g/dL from baseline to Week 24 in patients treated with OXBRYTA 1,500 mg versus placebo. The response rate for OXBRYTA 1,500 mg was 51.1% (46/90) compared to 6.5% (6/92) in the placebo group (p < 0.001). No outlier subgroups were observed. The distribution of Hb change from baseline for individual patients completing 24 weeks of treatment with OXBRYTA 1,500 mg or placebo is depicted in Figure 1.

Additional efficacy evaluation included change in Hb and percent change in indirect bilirubin and percent reticulocyte count from baseline to Week 24 (Table 6).

The efficacy and safety of OXBRYTA in patients 4 to <12 years with SCD was evaluated in an open-label, multi-center, Phase 2 trial [NCT 02850406]. In this study, 45 patients 4 to <12 years and 11 patients 12 to <17 years received OXBRYTA. Patients 4 to <12 years received tablets for oral suspension based on body weight at baseline. OXBRYTA doses of 600 mg, 900 mg, or 1,500 mg once daily were administered to patients weighing 10 kg to <20 kg, 20 kg to <40 kg, or ≥40 kg, respectively. Patients 12 to <17 years received OXBRYTA 1,500 mg once daily.
Patients were included if their baseline hemoglobin (Hb) was ≤10.5 g/dL. Eligible patients on stable doses of hydroxyurea for at least 90 days were allowed to continue hydroxyurea therapy throughout the study. The trial excluded patients who had a VOC event within 14 days prior to enrollment, received red blood cell (RBC) transfusions within 30 days of enrollment, and had renal insufficiency or uncontrolled liver disease.
All patients had HbSS or HbS/beta0-thalassemia genotype (100%) and most were receiving background hydroxyurea therapy (80%). The median age was 8 years (range: 4 to 15 years); 45 (80%) patients were 4 to <12 years. In this age group, mean baseline Hb was 8.6 g/dL (range: 6.1 to 10.5 g/dL).
Efficacy was based on Hb response rate, which is defined as a Hb increase of >1 g/dL from baseline to Week 24. Hb response rate for OXBRYTA in patients aged 4 to <12 years who took at least one dose of OXBRYTA was 36% (16/45) (95% CI: 21.6%, 49.5%).
