Failure to thrive (FTT) is a term commonly used to characterize slower-than-expected weight gain. While inadequate caloric intake is the predominant cause, failure to thrive is a manifestation of undernutrition often resulting from the interplay of multiple etiologies.

Over the past 40 years, the introduction and refinement of hydroxyurea therapy has led to remarkable progress for the care of individuals with sickle cell anemia (SCA). From initial small proof-of-principle studies to multi-center Phase 3 controlled clinical trials and then numerous open-label studies, the consistent benefits of once-daily oral hydroxyurea have been demonstrated across the lifespan. Elevated fetal hemoglobin (HbF) serves as the most important treatment response, as HbF delays sickle hemoglobin polymerization and reduces erythrocyte sickling.
