Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to learn more about painful crisis in people with Sickle Cell Disease. For this reason, Pfizer is conducting a study to understand how people with Sickle Cell Disease feel on a daily basis, treat these painful episodes including if they treat themselves at home or go to a doctor's office/emergency room, as well as the types of medications that are taken during these episodes.
Detailed Description: Pfizer is developing an ePRO that is completed on a daily basis using a diary to comprehensively self-report VOCs in participants with SCD and its impact on their lives.This is a prospective, low-intervention study to evaluate the responsiveness of the SCD ePRO in a therapeutic setting. Efficacy of drugs intended to reduce the frequency of VOC has historically been assessed based on frequency of VOC with an operational definition for VOC that requires MU, an endpoint approach that is limited in its utility for assessing benefit of therapeutic interventions across the totality of the disease experience. Thus, despite current available treatments, many patients with SCD still experience VOCs and there remains a significant unmet medical need and an opportunity to improve on existing endpoints. While previous studies have been conducted to consider this endpoint, they have not been conducted in a therapeutic setting and therefore unable to assess the responsiveness of theSCD ePRO.1,2This study aims to assess the responsiveness of the patient-reported endpoints in participants with SCD who are not on a disease modifying therapy versus those who are on the disease modifying treatment HU.
