Vaso occlusive crisis is the most common clinical manifestation of sickle cell disease. It is responsible for a significant volume of hospitalizations and emergency department visits by the affected patients. Recent studies suggest that nearly half of the people suffering from sickle cell disease experience vaso occlusive crisis, with some patients having 6 or more such episodes every year. Repeated episodes can lead to severe health complications and thus, there is a heightened impetus to develop effective drugs to alleviate the condition.

Report Coverage

The Vaso Occlusive Crisis Drug Pipeline Report by the publisher gives comprehensive insights into vaso occlusive crisis drugs currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for vaso occlusive crisis. The report includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. The vaso occlusive crisis pipeline landscape will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials including their adverse effects on patients suffering from vaso occlusive crisis.

The assessment part will include a detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration, and ongoing vaso occlusive crisis pipeline development activities.

Vaso Occlusive Crisis Drug Pipeline Outlook

A vaso occlusive crisis, or VOC, refers to a condition when sickled red blood cells block the flow of blood to the extent that the tissues experience oxygen deprivation. This triggers an inflammatory response that leads to substantial pain which primarily occurs in the chest, back, or extremities. Besides causing acute pain, a vaso occlusive event can make the patient prone to various health issues such as strokes, arthritis, and kidney failure.

For the acute management of vaso occlusive crisis, opioids are commonly given to the patient for pain relief. Hydroxyurea, an antimetabolite chemotherapeutic agent, is also widely used to prevent painful crises in sickle cell anemia patients. In recent years, Adakveo (crizanlizumab) and Endari (L-glutamine) were cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as vaso occlusive crisis-preventing therapies. Further, in December 2023, a major milestone was achieved with the FDA approval of the first-ever cell-based gene therapy based on CRISPR/Cas9, Casgevy, for the treatment of sickle cell disease patients aged 12 years and above with recurrent vaso-occlusive crises. The rise in the development and regulatory approval of novel gene therapies are among the major trends, impacting the drug pipeline outlook positively.

It includes product description, trial ID, study type, drug class, mode of administration, and recruitment status of vaso occlusive crisis drug candidates.

Crovalimab

Sponsored by Hoffmann-La Roche, the drug is being investigated as an adjunct treatment to help prevent vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE) in sickle cell disease. The study is being conducted at 41 locations including the United States and Brazil.

Inclacumab

The Phase 3 study, involving vaso occlusive crisis drug candidate inclacumab (a P-selectin inhibitor), is sponsored by Pfizer. The safety and efficacy of the drug in reducing the frequency of vaso-occlusive crises will be assessed in 240 participants with sickle cell disease.

Sufentanil

Sufentanil is an opioid analgesic that is currently in Phase III clinical development. The INVOPE trial will evaluate intranasal sufentanil in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease experiencing severe vaso-occlusive pain crisis.

Crizanlizumab

Crizanlizumab, a monoclonal antibody medication, is used to reduce the frequency of vaso-occlusive crises. Novartis Pharmaceuticals is conducting a study to examine the safety and establish dosing of the drug in pediatric sickle cell disease patients.
