Oxbryta
Sickle cell patients with proven use of Oxbryta
Prescribed and taken prior to global recall in September 2024
Subsequent catastrophic injuries, including stroke, organ failure, and death
Jamal Rivers, a 27-year-old graphic designer from Atlanta, Georgia, was diagnosed with sickle cell disease at a young age. In early 2023, his hematologist prescribed Oxbryta to help manage his chronic anemia and reduce the frequency of pain crises.
By late 2023, Jamal began experiencing unusual fatigue, swelling in his lower extremities, and shortness of breath. After multiple hospital visits, he was diagnosed with early-stage heart failure and renal impairment, conditions that had not previously been part of his medical history. His doctors noted a possible link between his symptoms and the recent introduction of Oxbryta.
Jamal discontinued the medication in February 2024 under medical advice and began a rigorous treatment plan involving cardiology and nephrology specialists. His condition has required frequent monitoring, medication adjustments, and lifestyle changes. He has been unable to work full-time since March 2024 due to fatigue and mobility issues.
Jamal has not received any prior settlement and is currently unrepresented by legal counsel. He has maintained thorough medical documentation and continues to follow up with specialists. Given the clear timeline, the severity of his health decline, and the ongoing impact on his quality of life and employment, Jamal Rivers is a strong candidate for an Oxbryta injury claim.
