Filter by:Moya Moya disease or syndrome ar characterized by a progressive or occlusion of the intracranial carotid arteries and their mainproximal branches, followed by the development of fragile neovessels at the base of the skull, leding to a high risk of both ischemic and hemorragic stroke over time. Moya Moya syndrome are associated to a variety of disease, which main frequent is sickle cell disease (SCD). Among patients with SCD who had suffered from at least one ischemic stroke, the prevalence of moya moya syndrome was estimated up to 43%. In general, therapeutic strategies in Moya Moya to prevent first ever ou recurrent stroke can be divided into conservative medical treatment and surgical revascularisation (direct bypass, indirect bypass or combined bypass). The aim of this study is to compare prognosis of patients with Moya Moya syndrome associated with sickle cell disease or not. The investigators retrospectiveluy analysed medical chart from 2010 to 2021 of patients with Moya Moya disease or syndrome at two French university hospitals (including a center of the french West Indies where prevalence of sickle cell disease is high). The diagnosis was based on angiography or MRI records showing uni- or bilateral stenosis of distal intracranial internal carotide arteries or middle cerebral arteries associated wirh classic collateral network. Main endpoint will be comparison of a composite outcome defined as time from Moya Moya diagnosis to first or recurrent stroke or bad prognosis achivement (defined by modified Rankin score >2)
The proposed research is to determine the clinical efficacy and neurobiological mechanisms of acupuncture analgesia in patients with sickle cell disease.
This first in human study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and food effect of GBT021601, a hemoglobin S (HbS) polymerization inhibitor, in healthy participants.
Research Question: In adult SCD patients with CVC, is it feasible and safe to conduct an adequately powered RCT to evaluate the use of rivaroxaban as thromboprophylaxis in this population? Study Design: The study is a vanguard pilot double blind multi-centre randomized controlled trial. Participants with SCD and CVC will be randomized to either rivaroxaban 10mg PO daily or placebo for the duration of CVC in situ or for up to one year, whichever is less. After screening (day -7 to day -1), patients will be followed at day 1, months 3 (+/- 15 days), 6 (+/- 15 days), 9 (+/- 15 days), and 12 (+/- 15 days). Study Objectives: The primary objective is to estimate the proportion of eligible patients who will enroll into a trial of thromboprophylaxis. Secondary objectives include (a) document indications for central venous catheter (CVC), (b) summarize duration of CVC insertion prior to enrollment, (c) estimate adherence to the study drug, (d) estimate proportions of participants being compliant with study procedures, and lost to follow up. Exploratory objectives will assess thrombotic, bleeding, and quality of life outcomes.
This clinical trial is a Phase 2/3 study that will determine the recommended dose of mitapivat and evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitapivat in sickle cell disease by testing how well mitapivat works compared to placebo to increase the amount of hemoglobin in the blood and to reduce or prevent the occurrence of sickle cell pain crises. In addition, the long-term effect of mitapivat on efficacy and safety will be explored in an open-label extension portion.
This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm observational non-interventional study (NIS), which will be conducted in various countries in the Middle East and India.
Voxelotor is a new drug for adolescents and adults with sickle cell disease that improves hemoglobin levels and reduces the incidence of worsening anemia. However, it is unclear whether this increase in hemoglobin is associated with a reduction in cerebral metabolic stress. This study will measure the effects of voxelotor on cerebral hemodynamics.
This study is a pilot, phase II, open-label study of the angiotensin II receptor blocker, losartan, in patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) 6 years or older for 12 months. The investigators will enroll 24 patients with SCD over the course of 1 year with a goal to complete all study procedures in 2 years. The short-term goal is to obtain clinical pilot data regarding the safety and efficacy of losartan in stabilizing or decreasing extracellular volume fraction (ECV) after 12 months of therapy.
This clinical trial is a Phase 2 study that will evaluate the safety and clinical activity of etavopivat in patients with thalassemia or sickle cell disease and test how well etavopivat works to lower the number of red blood cell transfusions required and increase hemoglobin.
Sickle Cell Disease is the most frequent genetic disease in the world (representing one birth over 1900, in France). The polymerization of the abnormal hemoglobin (i.e., HbS) when deoxygenated is at the origin of a mechanical distortion of red blood cells (RBC) into a crescent-like shape. Sickled RBCs are very fragile and rigid, which lead patients to have severe anemia and to develop frequent and repeated painful vaso-occlusive crises. Furthermore, the repetition of sickling-unsickling cycles causes irreversible damages to the RBCs, which shorten their half-life. Accumulation of free hemoglobin and heme in the plasma is involved in blood vessels lesions in both the macro- and micro- circulation. The resulting vascular dysfunction could explain why limb ulcers are 10 fold more frequent in patients with sickle cell disease compared to the general population and may happen at a younger age. Limb ulcers induce significant morbidity (delay of healing between 9 and 26 weeks in the french cohort), and are associated to significant pain (needing opioid pain-killer) and increase the risk of infection. Cost of care is also increased. Moreover, ulcers induce missed school and work days. Data on cutaneous microcirculation and ulcers physiopathology in patients with sickle cell disease are scarce. We want to realise a microcirculatory and neurological functional study of patients with with and without ulcers and a characterization of biomarkers present in the blood or in the wound fluid which can participate to ulcers physiopathology. To ensure healing, adapted therapeutics are essential. Several strategies are proposed such as: lifestyle measures (venous compression, lower limb elevation, rest), dressings, hyperbaric oxygenotherapy (also used in diabetic ulcers). The project is devoted to study the mechanisms involved in leg ulcers and the effects of therapeutical/behavioral strategies.
