This research study is being done to assess the safety and effectiveness of isoquercetin to reduce levels of soluble P-Selectin in patients with sickle cell disease. Isoquercetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid-or vitamin. You will find quercetin and isoquercetin in fruits and vegetables. The names of the study drug involved in this study are/is: \- Isoquercetin
This is a single-arm phase 2 study in adults with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) to assess the effect of oral isoquercetin on biomarkers of endothelial and platelet activation, inflammation and ongoing blood coagulation. * The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits. * The names of the study drug involved in this study are/is: Isoquercetin * Participants will receive study treatment for 1 year and will be followed for 30 days after the last dose. * This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug to learn whether the drug works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied. * The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved isoquercetin as a treatment for any disease.

Oral, 1 time per day, per predetermined dosed per 28 treatment cycle.
Change in sP Selectin levels with isoquercetin
Comparisons between baseline and follow-up measurements (i.e. change in sP-Selectin), will be performed using a two-tailed, paired t-test analyses.
Time frame: baseline to 28 Days
Platelet dependent thrombin generation (coagulation)
Laboratory values at baseline and subsequent monthly follow-up time points will be modeled using linear mixed effects regression with an autoregressive covariance structure.
Time frame: baseline to 1 year
sE-selectin (adhesion)-Biomarker
Laboratory values at baseline and subsequent monthly follow-up time points will be modeled using linear mixed effects regression with an autoregressive covariance structure.
Time frame: baseline to 1 year
C-reactive protein CRP
Laboratory values at baseline and subsequent monthly follow-up time points will be modeled using linear mixed effects regression with an autoregressive covariance structure.
Time frame: baseline to 1 year
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events
Sickle cell events such as SCPC, uncomplicated pain crisis, hospitalizations, emergency room visits, transfusions, acute chest syndrome and transfusion support will be summarized as annualized numbers. Statistical comparisons will be made for each patient relative to the number from the previous year using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
Time frame: start of study treatment up to 13 months
