Summary

Hydroxyurea Optimization through Precision Study (HOPS) is a prospective, multi-center, randomized trial that will directly compare a novel, individualized dosing strategy of hydroxyurea to standard weight-based dosing for children with SCA. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether a pharmacokinetics-based starting hydroxyurea dose thieves superior fetal hemoglobin response to to standard weight-based initial dosing. Patients will be recruited from the pediatric sickle cell clinic at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and from additional pediatric sickle cell centers within the United States.

Hydroxyurea

The alternative arm will use PK data to choose a starting hydroxyurea dose to achieve an AUC of 115 mg\*h/L to approximate maximum tolerated dose. On the standard arm, participants will start at the traditional, weight-based dose of 20 mg/kg/day. Following selection of the starting dose, all participants will follow the same dose escalation and laboratory monitoring procedures.
