WEBINAR: Crizanlizumab – development, data, and the future for sickle cell disease
With Dr Martin Besser and Dr Amy Cooper
Thursday, 25th September
Join us in collaboration with HaemSTAR for an expert-led deep dive into crizanlizumab, the first new treatment for patients with Sickle Cell Disease in 20 years. Dr Martin Besser will walk through the ups-and-downs, from the initial launch of the drug in 2021, to the eventual withdrawal in 2023 after negative results from the STAND trial.
What can we learn from the SUSTAIN and STAND trials, and what opportunities are there to further understand the effects of this drug in patients?
