Its core product, Oxbryta (voxelotor), is an oral medicine approved by the FDA for SCD patients as young as 4 years old, and the company conducts research, clinical trials, and regulatory work to bring new therapies to market.

The company differentiates itself through a focused, disease-specific portfolio and active patient advocacy, prioritizing SCD care and community engagement alongside its R&D efforts. Its goal is to change the treatment paradigm for SCD by expanding options, improving outcomes, and progressing toward additional therapies for patients and families affected by the disease.
