A case of SCD controlled by IMiDs and hydroxyurea
摘要
IMiDs (immunomodulatory drugs from the thalidomide class) enhance hemoglobin F (HbF) production but are not yet approved for sickle cell disease (SCD). Here, we describe a case of severe SCD and multiple myeloma (MM) in which over 6 years of treatment with IMiDs and hydroxyurea led to sustained remission of SCD.
