NCT ID: NCT04349189 Active, not recruiting - Sickle Cell Disease Clinical Trials

Venous Thrombosis Biomarkers in Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Trait

Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) includes the abnormal clotting of blood in a deep vein of the upper or lower limbs (deep vein thrombosis) that may travel to and block a blood vessel in the lung (pulmonary embolism). Some people with sickle cell disease (SCD)-a red blood cell disorder-seem to be at greater risk for developing these blood clots. Researchers want to study the blood of people with SCD and VTE as well as healthy people to develop better treatments to prevent blood clots. Objective: To study blood clotting in SCD because it is the most common cause of vascular death after a heart attack or stroke. Eligibility: People ages 18-80 who have SCD (with or without a history of blood clots) or the trait for SCD, and healthy volunteers Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and medical records review. They will give blood samples. Participants will have phone calls either every 3 months or once a year, for 2 years. They will give updates on their health. They may give additional medical records. The phone calls may last up to 30 minutes. If participants have a VTE or pain crisis episode, they may visit the Clinical Center. These visits may last up to 4 hours. They will repeat the screening tests and give blood samples. Some participants may be invited to take part in blood studies. After 2 years, some participants will have a follow-up visit at the Clinical Center. Participation will last for about 2 years.
