Background
Case details
Sickle cell disease is a hereditary blood disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. Oxbryta, also called Voxelotor, was designed to treat this condition by restoring red blood cells to a normal shape, reducing damage to the body's tissues. Oxbryta received accelerated approval from the FDA in 2019, before full-scale trials could be conducted.
However, subsequent studies revealed alarming safety concerns, including a higher-than-anticipated number of deaths and an increased risk of vaso-occlusive crises. Pfizer voluntarily withdrew the drug from the market in September 2024 and also discontinued its ongoing clinical trials, concluding that continued use would pose more risks than benefits for patients. Prior to the recall, Pfizer charged between $70,000 and $100,000 per year for Oxbryta.
These events have shattered the trust of many in the sickle cell community, leaving them to confront the harsh reality that a medication meant to improve their lives may have put them at greater risk. By joining the lawsuit, affected patients and their families can seek justice and hold Pfizer accountable for the harm they have caused.
