Welcome to LANP Capital Region Dinner Meeting
We look forward to networking and engaging with you all as we learn from ENDARI!
This educational program examines the clinical role of Endari® (L-glutamine oral

program will review the FDA-approved indication to reduce acute complications of SCD in adult
and pediatric patients 5 years of age and older, including clinical trial data regarding reduction of
sickle cell crises and hospitalizations.
The product’s mechanism of action, administration instructions, and its established safety profile
will also be discussed to support informed clinical decision making.
This program is intended for healthcare providers included in the care of patients with Sickle
Cell Disease (SCD), including nurse practitioners, physicians, physicians assistants.
The information is relevant for providers practicing in primary care, family medicine,
hematology, general practice, and any emergency setting where acute and chronic SCD
management occurs.
