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.
The investigators 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. The investigators will enroll 74 children with SCD aged 6 to 18 months old. The investigators 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.
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 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.
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).
Large knowledge gaps remain regarding strategies to promote the adoption of hydroxyurea (HU), particularly in sub-Saharan African countries including Nigeria, where more than 75% of annual sickle cell anemia births occur. The vast majority of people with SCD in Africa do not receive evidenced-based health care (e.g., newborn screening, health education, prophylaxis for infection, optimal nutrition and hydration, blood transfusion, transcranial Doppler screening, and HU therapy), despite its effectiveness in reducing SCD-related adverse outcomes and mortality. The use of HU in SSA is <1% among SCD patients. The investigators' preliminary findings indicate that provider-level barriers are significant and must be addressed to improve HU adoption. To address HU adoption, the investigators will use the NIH-funded study (e.g., Realizing Effectiveness Across Continents with Hydroxyurea (REACH) Clinical Trial (NCT01966731)) that developed an evidence-informed, clinical, practical, and easy-to-follow algorithm to 1) Screen patients for sickle cell disease (SCD), 2) Initiate HU treatment, and 3) Maintain HU dosage over time (SIM) for the improved management of SCD as our intervention. The Nigerian government released guidelines supporting the SIM intervention for HU adoption for improved SCD management, and HU is on the list of essential medicines for Nigeria. The investigators' implementation strategy for improving SCD management in Nigeria uses a practical and replicable evidence-based task-sharing strategy, TAsk-Strengthening Strategy for Hemoglobinopathies (TASSH), adopted from the TAsk-Strengthening Strategy for Hypertension control (TASSH) trials in Ghana and Nigeria containing the essential components of i) Training healthcare workers/providers to be more patient-centered in clinical consultations, ii) Clinical reminders, and iii) Practice facilitation (TCP) known as (TASSH TCP) for SCD management. Using a sequential exploratory mixed-methods study design, the investigators will conduct this study using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) framework in four sequential phases to assess the effectiveness of SIM adoption by providers in the context of the TASSH TCP implementation strategy in Nigeria.
This is a single center, non-randomized, open label, single-dose study in subjects with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous CRISPR-Cas9 modified CD34+ human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (hHSPCs) (BRL-101).

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of mitapivat on albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) response in participants with sickle cell disease (SCD) and nephropathy.
