Filter by:This study is an open-label, non-randomized, single-dose Phase 1/2 trial involving around 85 adult and pediatric participants aged between 2 and 50 years with sickle cell disease (SCD). It aims to assess the effectiveness of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using BAH243 for SCD.
We are studying how to prevent malnutrition in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) in northern Nigeria. Community health workers will teach mothers about nutritious local foods that might help children grow better than the usual advice from doctors. We will enroll 74 children with SCD aged 6 to 18 months old. We will determine if their weight and diet improve and check for low vitamin A levels. This information will help us find better ways to improve growth for children with SCD.
Objective: to gain insight in the pathogenesis, to identify biomarkers to recognize patients at risk for proliferative SCR and to investigate its associations with clinical and laboratory characteristics. Endpoints: The investigators will determine the difference in the above named parameters between patients with and without PSCR Study design: This case control study will include adult sickle cell disease patients with the HbSS or HbSC genotype. For both genotypes, 20 patients without sickle cell retinopathy (SCR) and 20 patients with PSCR will be included, resulting in a total of 80 patients. Venous blood samples and retinal imaging scans will be collected for each included patient.
The goal of this observational study is to help us understand more about the best ways to help individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) get the best care. The main question it aims to answer is: How to find individuals unaffiliated from SCD specialist care use three distinct pathways? Once unaffiliated individuals are found using the pathways, Investigators will employ linkage coordinators (trained staff) to engage these patients in care. Participants will be asked to fill out an assessment survey which will cover areas such as previous and current treatment, clinic and hospital experience, pain, and quality of life. Participants will also be given the option of participation in a 1-hour long interview how they feel about treatment for sickle cell disease including clinic experience, pain, and quality of life?
The study, known as the Peer suppoRt for adolescents and Emerging adults with Sickle cell pain: promoting ENgagement in Cognitive behavioral thErapy (PRESENCE), aims to determine the effectiveness of digital CBT in reducing pain, opioid use, and healthcare utilization among AYAs with SCD. It also seeks to understand the role of personalized peer support in enhancing engagement and outcomes of digital CBT interventions. By leveraging existing infrastructure for delivering virtual peer support interventions, tailored digital CBT programs for individuals with SCD, and partnerships with CBOs, the study aims to provide valuable insights into the feasibility and effectiveness of digital CBT as a pain management strategy for this vulnerable population.
The study participant is being asked to take part in this clinical trial, a type of research study, because the participant is a young child with sickle cell disease or the caregiver of a child with sickle cell disease. This study is being done to test a school readiness program for children with sickle cell disease (ages 4-6 years old). Primary Objective Assess feasibility and acceptability of an adapted school readiness intervention among preschool children (ages 4-6) diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Secondary Objectives Objective 1: Measure preliminary efficacy of the adapted school readiness intervention compared to routine care among preschool children ages (4-6) diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Objective 2: Examine implementation factors (i.e., barriers and facilitators) during post-intervention.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of EDIT-301 in participants with severe sickle cell disease (SCD) or transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) who have received EDIT-301.
This multicenter prospective study seeks to determine if daratumumab given, prior to HLA-identical sibling donor transplantation using alemtuzumab, low dose total-body irradiation, and sirolimus, can prevent pure red blood cell aplasia with an acceptable safety profile in patients with anti-donor red blood cell antibodies, achieving an event-free survival similar to transplanted patients without such antibodies.
The long term burden of morbidity and mortality in the natural history of sickle cell disease has not been compared up to date to the risks and mortality of a curative option like bone marrow transplantation in severe sickle-cell disease patients. Given this lack of data, primary-care Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) physicians and transplant physicians are prevented from a factual debate over the benefit/risk ratio for each patient and refining indications of transplant in patients. Therefore, the present study seeks to describe and compare the very long-term outcomes after either Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) -matched sibling transplantation (study arm) and "non-transplant care" for severe sickle cell disease SCA patients in order to yield robust comparative data regarding both arms. The main objective is to assess the benefit of Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) regarding quality of life compared to standard care after 10 years, in patients with severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).
This study aims to characterize sex differences in the pathophysiology of vaso-occlusive crises (VOC) occurring among individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD). - The study will compare CRP and other biomarkers between females with SCD in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle and males with SCD. - The study will explore potential sex differences in biomarker changes between females and males with SCD during and following resolution of VOC. - The study will compare neutrophil and platelet adhesion to the endothelium and real time fibrin deposition in the blood.
