The first breakthrough drug in 30 years for people living with sickle cell disease has been announced by drugs firm Novartis.

'Adakveo' is the first targeted therapy for prevention of recurrent crises attacks.

These attacks disrupt patients’ lives physically, socially, and emotionally, and can increase risk of organ damage and early death.

Clinical data showed that use of Adakveo led to a significant reduction in their rate, and to fewer days spent in hospital.
