Overview

Evaluation of AHSP concentration in total blood as a biomarker in adult and pediatric sickle cell patients

Description

Research involving non-interventional humans. Selection and inclusion of patients by CHSD investigators. Collection of clinical data by investigators and CHSD URC staff.

Biochemical and hematological measurements by the CHSD medical biology laboratory for "care" samples Pseudonymization of 4 mL "research" samples by the URC then fractionation of the samples by 1 mL, and storage at -80°C within the medical biology laboratory of the CHSD.

Transport of samples at -80°C to team 1 of Dr Baudin-Creuza (Créteil). Preparation of genomic DNA from a 1 mL fraction then α and β globin genotyping by Dr Pissard.

Measurement of the AHSP concentration from the other fractions. Comparison of the AHSP concentration according to the group of subjects, and with the different parameters, then correlation analysis

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
