Advancements in Treatment for Sickle Cell Pain Crisis

Dr. Darla Liles, Hematologist/Oncologist at East Carolina University and sickle cell patient Majara (who participated in the SUSTAIN clinical trial) discuss the unique challenges facing sickle cell patients, including the impact of sickle cell pain crises. They’ll also discuss the latest FDA-approved treatment, Adakveo® (crizanlizumab-tmca) for use in people 16 years of age and older, and how it may help reduce those painful episodes and potentially life-threatening complications. #SickleCell #Pain #Adakveo Visit our website www.healtprofessionalradio.com.au Follow us on our social media channels Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hprfm/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HealthProRadio Google+: https://plus.google.com/+HealthProfes...
