What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product during the course of a clinical investigation. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, met one or more of the criteria: death, life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect and other medically significant events. TEAEs are events between first dose of study drug and up to 56 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Relatedness of any AE to treatment was based on investigator decision. AEs included both SAEs and all non-serious AEs.
Measured: From first dose of study drug up to 56 days after last dose of study drug (approximately up to 736 days)

Secondary outcomes (6)
Annualized Rate of Vaso-Occlusive Crisis (VOC)
A VOC was defined as an acute episode of pain that had no medically determined cause other than a vaso-occlusive event, and resulted in a visit to a medical facility (hospitalization, emergency department, urgent care center, outpatient clinic, or infusion center), and required parenteral narcotic agents, parenteral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or an increase in treatment with oral narcotics. Annualized rate of VOC was reported in this outcome measure.
Measured: From the first dose of study drug up to last dose of study drug (approximately up to 680 days)
Number of Participants With Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
SCD is an inherited disorder caused by a point mutation in the beta globin gene which leads to formation of sickle hemoglobin (HbS). SAEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, meets one or more of the criteria: death, life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect and other medically significant events. Participants with delayed start are those with a gap in dosing greater than 42 consecutive days from completing the originating study (C5351005 Date of First Dose - C5351004 End of Treatment Date + 1 greater than 42).
Measured: From first dose of study drug up to 56 days after last dose of study drug (approximately up to 736 days)
Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60
Change from baseline in hemoglobin at weeks 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 were reported in this outcome measure.

Change From Baseline in Reticulocytes at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60
Change from baseline in reticulocytes at weeks 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 were reported in this outcome measure.

Measured: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60
Change From Baseline in Unconjugated Bilirubin at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60
Change from baseline in unconjugated bilirubin at weeks 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 were reported in this outcome measure.
Measured: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing Osivelotor in people with Sickle Cell Disease, run by Pfizer at 9 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 9 sites in United States, Nigeria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Mar 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: From first dose of study drug up to 56 days after last dose of study drug (approximately up to 736 days)). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Mar 2026.
