The PIVOT trial did not meet its primary end point. Hydroxyurea at 20 mg/kg in patients with HbSC was associated with more hematologic DLTs than placebo, but most were mild and transient. Hydroxyurea was associated with less vaso-occlusive pain and fewer sickle-related events in both children and adults; a new trial will need to be done to establish the efficacy of this approach.
