ASH 2025 | Phase III STArT trial results: sickle cell disease treatment with arginine therapy

Claudia Morris, MD, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA, discusses results from the Phase III STArT trial (NCT04839354) evaluating intravenous arginine for acute pain management in children and young adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). Although the study did not meet its primary endpoint of time-to-crisis-resolution (TCR), Dr Morris highlights important insights into the limitations of current pain endpoints and signals of benefit in specific subgroups. This interview took place at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in Orlando, FL.
