Filter by:This is a pilot study of daily dosing of NUV001 as a dietary supplement in 12 sickle cell disease patients with 3 months of follow-up plus 1 month after supplementation.The present study is designed to evaluate, first, the safety and tolerability parameters as well as to measure the plasma and urinary residues of daily oral doses of NUV001. Secondly, the study will evaluate the impact of NUV001 on biological parameters and quality of life of patients.
This study aims to describe and/or searches for, in cohorts of adult sickle cell anemia (SCA) and SC sickle cell patients living in the French West Indies and followed by SCD Reference and Competence Centers: 1-lipids profiles and associations at steady state with occurrence of sickle cell disease (SCD) complications, 2-lipids profile evolution during and after prospective acute complications (vasoocclusive crises (VOC) and priapism), 3-lipids profile variation (inter /intra individuals) during 4 prospective years, 4- Genetic primary modulators of SCD complications, 5- insulin resistance (HOMA), free fatty acids and glycerol dosages, 6- lipids enzymes, lipidome and functionality of HDL in sub-groups of SCD population.
Benign and malignant hematologic diseases are relatively rare conditions within the spectrum of medical practice in any one site of care. Nonetheless, recent research in hematologic conditions from basic, translational, clinical and population perspectives offer the possibility of improving the way that these diseases are treated, and the outcomes experienced by patients. A repository that aggregates and validates this data across institutions and other practice settings is needed in order to identify variation in care, new findings, and further research.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Pain and many adverse outcomes occurring in sickle cell disease are inflammatory driven. Recent data has shown that gut dysbiosis is present in individuals with sickle cell disease. Gut dysbiosis has been linked to inflammation in certain diseases. Omega -3-fatty acids (fish oil) has been shown to improve pain outcomes in individuals with sickle cell disease, but its acceptance is variable. The aim of this study is to determine if a plant-based omega-3-fatty acids will be more acceptable and also improve outcomes in individuals with sickle cell disease
Structural and functional changes in arteries are increasingly being recognized as significant features of sickle cell disease. This study aims to determine whether there are differences in arterial function parameters between children with sickle cell disease with normal and abnormal transcranial Doppler velocity. After informed consent is obtained, participants will have vascular, Transcranial Doppler, haematological and biochemical parameters measured. Researchers will compare children with sickle cell disease who have normal Transcranial Doppler velocity and no history of stroke with children with those who have an abnormal Transcranial Doppler velocity with or without a history of stroke to see if there are significant differences in arterial function parameters.
Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation/HCT involves receiving healthy blood-forming cells (stem cells) from a donor to replace the diseased or damaged cells in participants' bone marrow. The researchers think giving participants treatment with fludarabine and dexamethasone, drugs that lower the activity of the body's immune system (immune suppression), before standard conditioning therapy and HCT may help prevent serious side effects, including graft failure and GvHD. In this study, depending on how participants' body responds to the fludarabine and dexamethasone, the study doctor may decide participants should receive another drug, called cyclophosphamide, instead of fludarabine. In addition, depending on the results of participants' routine blood tests, participants may receive the drugs bortezomib and rituximab, which also help with immune suppression.
This project assesses feasibility of providing medically vulnerable rural patients with Medical-Self-Assessment-Boxes containing equipment to use at home during telephone and video consultations (telemedicine) with GPs and other healthcare professionals. COVID-19 has caused an upsurge in primary care telemedicine which the investigators believe can be sustained and optimized to make things better for medically vulnerable rural patients beyond the pandemic. The investigators will achieve this by equipping the participants to self-measure and report key clinical measurements (e.g. blood pressure, temperature, oxygen levels) during telemedicine consultations. Before conducting a major evaluation of the Medical-Self-Assessment-Box for medically vulnerable rural patients the investigators must establish three things: First, to show the investigators can issue a Medical-Self-Assessment-Box to medically vulnerable rural patients and enable them to use it properly. Second, to determine that patients can use the Medical-Self-Assessment-Box effectively during telemedicine consultations. Third, to show that it is possible to measure how well the Medical-Self-Assessment-Box is working by counting how often the boxes are being used and whether use is appropriate and helpful. The knowledge gained will provide the investigators with the information needed to develop a funding proposal to evaluate Medical-Self-Assessment-Boxes for medically vulnerable rural patients in the whole of the UK.
The objective of this study is to measure the acceptability and impact of the progestin implant on frequency of vaso-occlusive crises, quality of life, and hematologic parameters in women with SCD.
An open-label, single arm study in patients 12 to 21 years of age with SCD to evaluate the effects of etavopivat on cerebral and muscle hemodynamics.
An Open-label Study of GBT021601 in 8 to 10 healthy male or female participants to evaluate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of GBT021601.
