2,2-DIMETHYLBUTYRIC ACID (HQK-1001) is an orally administered SCFAD (Short Chain Fatty Acid Derivative), which has shown an excellent safety profile and biologic effects on fetal hemoglobin induction and red blood cell production in the laboratory, relevant animal models, and in clinical trials carried out in healthy human subjects as well as patients with sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. The compound has received Orphan Drug Designation in the United States and Europe for both sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. HemaQuest Pharmaceuticals was developing HQK-1001 for the oral treatment of sickle cell anaemia and beta thalassaemia. HQK-1001 has been evaluated in phase II trials for beta thalassaemia and sickle cell anaemia.
