Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Male or female participants with SCA (sickle hemoglobin with two sickle cell genes
             [HbSS] or sickle hemoglobin (S) and one beta thalassemia gene [HbS β0] thal genotype)

          3. Screening Hb level ≤8.0 g/dL

          4. Treatment with hydroxyurea (HU) therapy on study is permitted if the participant has
             been on a stable dose for at least 90 days before enrollment with no dose
             modifications planned or anticipated by the Investigator

          5. Treatment with glutamine is permitted

          6. Treatment with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) is permitted if the

             dose modifications planned or anticipated by the Investigator

          7. Female participants of child-bearing potential must use highly effective methods of
             contraception to 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Male participants must use
             barrier methods of contraception to 30 days after the last dose of study drug

          8. Females of child-bearing potential are required to have a negative pregnancy test
             before the administration of study drug

          9. Written informed consent and/or parental/guardian consent and participant assent per
             Institutional Review Board (IRB) policy and requirements, consistent with ICH
             guidelines

        Exclusion Criteria:

             chronic, prophylactic, or preventive transfusion) during the study

          3. Hospitalization for vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) or acute chest syndrome (ACS) within
             30 days prior to informed consent/assent.

          4. More than 10 VOCs requiring hospitalization, emergency department or clinic visit
             within the past 12 months

          5. Planned elective surgery within the next 6 months

          6. Physical inactivity attributable to clinically significant musculoskeletal,
             cardiovascular, or respiratory comorbidities

          7. Anemia due to bone marrow failure (eg, myelodysplasia)

          8. Absolute reticulocyte count (ARC) < 100 x10^9/L

          9. Screening alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 4× upper limit of normal (ULN)

         10. Severe renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate [GFR] < 30 mL/min/1.73
             m2 by Schwartz formula) or is on chronic dialysis

         11. Known active hepatitis A, B or C or known to be human immunodeficiency virus
             (HIV)-positive.

         12. Females who are breast-feeding or pregnant

         13. Major surgery within 8 weeks before enrollment. Participants must have completely

         15. Received an investigational drug within 30 days or 5-half-lives, whichever is longer,
             prior to consent, or is currently participating in another trial of an investigational
             or marketed drug (or medical device)

         16. Use of concomitant medications (eg, crizanlizumab) that confound the ability to
             interpret data from the study

         17. Medical, psychological, or behavioral condition that, in the opinion of the
             Investigator, would confound or interfere with evaluation of safety and/or efficacy of
             the study drug, prevent compliance with the study protocol; preclude informed consent;
             or, render the participant unable/unlikely to comply with the study procedures
