ASCAT 2024 | The recent withdrawal of voxelotor from the market: the potential impact on patients with SCD

Subarna Chakravorty, MBBS, MRCPCH, FRCPath, PhD, King’s College Hospital NHS Trust, London, UK, discusses the recent withdrawal of voxelotor from the market, commenting on the impact this may have on the treatment landscape for adult patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Dr Chakravorty hopes that the recent withdrawal of two agents from the market will not reduce investment in drug development for SCD. This interview took place at the 19th Annual Scientific Conference of the Academy for Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia (ASCAT 2024) in London, UK.
