Hi,

At present, the only medicine available is hydroxyurea, which you can learn more about here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3...

However, there are numerous clinical trials going on now and in the future for more new drugs. We'll keep you posted with any information about them.

Not what you're looking for?
