Pfizer terminated one of two late-stage trials for a sickle cell treatment candidate from its $5.4 billion acquisition of Global Blood Therapeutics in 2022.
The pharma giant is still running a second Phase 3 for the drug, known as inclacumab, a spokesperson confirmed Tuesday to Endpoints News.
A Monday update to the federal clinical trials database shows that Pfizer ended a Phase 3 of inclacumab due to “poor accrual and associated [recruitment] challenges.” The study enrolled 72 people out of an originally planned 280, according to clinicaltrials.gov.
