You may qualify if…

Adults with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).
Are greater than or equal to 50 kilograms (kg) at time of screening.

You may not qualify if…

Acute painful crisis (requiring medical attention) within 30 days prior to screening.
Have a concomitant medical illness (for example, terminal malignancy) that, in the opinion of the investigator, is associated with reduced survival over the expected treatment period (approximately 30 days).
Severe hepatic dysfunction (cirrhosis, portal hypertension, or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than or equal to 3x upper limit of normal [ULN]).
Renal dysfunction requiring chronic dialysis.
Contraindication for antiplatelet therapy.

Have signs or symptoms of an infection.
Hypertension (systolic blood pressure >180 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or diastolic blood pressure >110 mm Hg) at the time of screening or randomization.
Hematocrit <18%.
Any history of bleeding diathesis, bleeding requiring in-hospital treatment, or papillary necrosis.
Active internal bleeding.
History of spontaneous gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding requiring in-hospital treatment.
Gross hematuria. Microhematuria, common in SCD patients, is not a contraindication.
Platelet count <100,000 per cubic millimeter.
Any history of intraocular hemorrhage.
Prior history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, or other intracranial hemorrhage.
Known history of intracranial neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation, or aneurysm.
Have clinical findings, in the judgment of the investigator, associated with an increased risk of bleeding.
