Trial Details
BMS-986470 is a small molecule cereblon E3 ligase modulator (CELMoD) that doctors think will increase fetal hemoglobin (HbF).
Everyone in this trial will get standard drugs to treat pain.
In this trial, you’ll be randomized to 1 of 2 groups. Once you’re randomized, you and the clinical trial doctors won’t know which group you’re in until after the trial is finished:
- Group 1 – BMS-986470
- Group 2 – BMS-986470 plus placebo
Randomized means doctors will use a computer to assign you to either group. A computer assigns you by chance, like flipping a coin or drawing a name out of a hat. You, your doctor or the clinical trial doctor won’t have any control over which group you’ll be assigned. This means you won’t be able to choose your group.
You’ll get:
- BMS-986470 – A pill that you take by mouth. The dose you'll get depends on when you start the trial and how safe it has been
You may continue treatment for as long as the clinical trial doctors think it’s best for your health. The clinical trial doctors will check your health for up to about 5 months.
