A Dose-Finding Study of Tebapivat to Assess Efficacy, and Safety in Participants With Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Documented diagnosis of SCD (HbSS, HbSC \[combined heterozygosity for hemoglobins S and C\], sickle hemoglobin \[HbS\]/β0-thalassemia, HbS/β+-thalassemia, or other sickle cell syndrome variants). * Hemoglobin ≥5.5 and ≤10.5 grams per decilitre (g/dL). Hemoglobin concentration must be based on an average of at least 2 Hb concentration measurements (separated by ≥7 days) collected during the screening period. * If taking hydroxyurea, the hydroxyurea dose must be stable for at least 90 days before randomization. Discontinuation of hydroxyurea requires a 90-day washout before providing informed consent. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Receiving regularly scheduled red blood cell (RBC) transfusion therapy (also termed chronic, prophylactic, or preventative transfusion); episodic transfusion in response to worsened anemia or vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) is permitted. Additionally, a participant who requires episodic transfusion(s) may not have received a transfusion(s) within 60 days before providing informed consent or during the screening period. * \>10 sickle cell pain crisis (SCPCs) in the 12 months before providing informed consent. * Receiving anabolic steroids that have not been stopped for at least 4 weeks before randomization. Testosterone replacement therapy to treat hypogonadism is allowed; the testosterone dose and preparation must be stable for ≥10 weeks before randomization. * Hospitalized for an SCPC and/or other vaso-occlusive event within 14 d…
