Filter by:HU is an FDA approved medication for the treatment of SCD. Many studies have shown that HU can reduce SCD related symptoms, but only 50% of patients take it as often as they should. This limits how much HU can help reduce SCD symptoms. Researchers are interested to see if electronic directly observed therapy (Mobile DOT), a program that uses cell phone reminder messages, videos, feedback messages, and incentives will help patients with SCD take HU as prescribed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of a single 300 mg dose of GBT440 administered as a high strength (1 × 300 mg) capsule versus a low strength (3 × 100 mg) capsule formulation in healthy fasted subjects.
The purpose of this study to evaluate the effect of concomitant administration of GBT440 on caffeine (a CYP1A2 probe substrate), S warfarin (a CYP2C9 probe substrate), omeprazole (a CYP2C19 probe substrate), and midazolam (a CYP3A4 probe substrate) plasma concentrations.
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder caused by a point mutation on the amino acid sequence of the β chain of hemoglobin. The most expressive and most frequent complication of the disease is vaso-occlusive crisis, dominated by a painful syndrome. In addition to vaso-occlusive crises, many more chronic biological disturbances are observed in sickle cell patients.Sickle cell disease is considered nowadays as a hypercoagulable state. However, the approach used so far to the measure of clotting in sickle cell disease was segmented in the sense that the various components of the hemostatic balance were studied separately.The thrombin generation test is a functional test which explores the coagulation globally, integrating both pro players that anticoagulants actors in the system. The investigators already used this test to demonstrate that the hemostatic potential was high in a cohort of affected children compared to control children of the same age. This test will be used to characterize the hemostatic potential of adult sickle cell patients followed at the CHU Brugmann Hospital.
The overall goal of this proposal is to conduct a partial double-blind randomized Phase III clinical trial for primary stroke prevention in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in sub-Saharan Africa.
Hypothesis is that the occurrence of nocturnal Vaso-Occlusive Crisis (VOC) and priapism in adults might be related to episodes of nocturnal desaturation secondary to a sleep apnea syndrome. Investigator hypothesize that chronic biological consequences of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (hypercoagulability, endothelial dysfunction ...) favour VOC and acute manifestations (nocturnal desaturation) favour nocturnal VOC. The confirmation of this hypothesis will lead investigator to propose a systematic screening of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with nocturnal VOC. Moreover, systematic treatment of OSA in sickle cell patients could help significantly reduce the number and severity of nocturnal VOC.
The aim of this study is to determine whether giving extra arginine, a simple amino acid, to patients with sickle cell disease seeking treatment for a pain crisis (vaso-occlusive painful events (VOE) will decrease pain scores, decrease the need for pain medications or decrease length of hospital stay or emergency department visit.

The use of hydroxyurea in sickle cell disease patients with glomerular hyperfiltration and renal failure requires a specific monitoring and dose adjustment in order to remain within the therapeutic interval while limiting the risk of toxicity or therapeutic failure. For this reason the investigators propose to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of hydroxyurea in normal-renal function sickle cell patients to those of patients with glomerular hyperfiltration or moderate renal failure.
In the context of the Risk Management Plan (RMP), as requested from Addmedica by the EMEA, to collect information about long-term safety of Siklos® (hydroxycarbamide) when used in patients with Sickle Cell Disease.
A Multi-Centre, Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to investigate Efficacy and Safety of Sevuparin Infusion for the Management of Acute Vaso-Occlusive Crisis (VOC) in Subjects with Sickle-Cell Disease (SCD).
