Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Evaluate safety & tolerability of SC411 & determine change from Baseline in the blood cells omega-3 fatty acids index in subjects, treated with active SC411 doses or placebo in Part A and safety and tolerability in Part B.
Secondary outcome measures
Measurement of the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter of AUC will be performed for three dose levels of SC411 will be measured.
Measurement of the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter of Cmax will be performed for three dose levels of SC411 will be measured.
Measurement of the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter of Tmax will be performed for three dose levels of SC411 will be measured.

Other outcome measures
The intensity of painful crises on a scale of 0 to 10, reported by subjects receiving one of the three oral dose levels of SC411 compared to matching placebo will be evaluated from eDiary-records of patient reported outcomes.
The number of blood transfusions on subjects receiving one of the three oral dose levels of SC411 compared to matching placebo will be evaluated.
The number of painful crises had by subjects receiving one of the three oral dose levels of SC411 compared to matching placebo will be evaluated from eDiary-records of patient reported outcomes.
