6.1 Clinical

Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of XROMI was evaluated in 32 pediatric patients aged 10 months -16 years with sickle cell anemia in a single-arm, open-label, prospective, multi-center, pharmacokinetic, safety and efficacy study (HUPK study). Only adverse reactions associated with the use of XROMI in pediatric patients aged 10 months to less than 2 years are presented. The most frequently reported adverse reactions in HUPK study (<33%) were neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia. Table 3.
