Dr. Wang graduated from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine in 1967. He works in Memphis, TN and specializes in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology. Dr. Wang is affiliated with Saint Jude Childrens Research Hospital.
For the new study, dubbed the Pediatric Hydroxyurea Phase III Clinical Trial, or Baby Hug, a team led by Dr. Winfred Wang of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis enrolled 193 infants and toddlers, ages 8 to 19 months, at 14 U.S. sites. Half received daily hydroxyurea and half a placebo.
In a two-year randomized clinical trial, the compound increased hemoglobin and fetal hemoglobin, while reducing the white blood cell count, according to Winfred Wang, MD, of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., and colleagues.
