Zydus Group and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) have announced a collaboration to begin testing a new medicine for sickle cell disease. They’re initiating a Phase 2 trial of a drug called Desidustat to evaluate its potential in treating this serious blood condition.

Key points of the trial:

✅ Phase 2 study to assess Desidustat’s safety and efficacy

✅ Will examine the drug’s impact on patients’ hemoglobin levels

✅ Aims to reduce the need for blood transfusions and painful crises

The partnership between Zydus and ICMR highlights the importance of public-private collaboration in developing new treatments for challenging diseases. This trial represents a significant step towards finding innovative therapies for sickle cell disease, which affects millions of people worldwide.

At OxyDial, we’re encouraged by Zydus and ICMR’s progress in advancing Desidustat as a potential new treatment option for patients living with sickle cell disease. The initiation of this Phase 2 trial represents an important step in developing innovative therapies that could improve disease management and quality of life for those impacted by this challenging blood disorder. We look forward to seeing the results of this study and its potential impact on the field of hematology.
