Patient Reported Outcomes and Patient Voice Among Patients Diagnosed With Low Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (LR-MDS) or Unexplained Anemia In Japan
This study will examine quality of life, experiences, and unmet needs among individuals diagnosed with Low Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome who are erythropoietin stimulating agent naïve and non-transfusion dependent and among individuals with suspected myelodysplastic syndromes with unexplained anemia in Japan
Prospective Evaluation of Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients With Autoimmune Cytopenias Including Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, Immune Thrombocytopenia, and Chronic Idiopathic/Autoimmune Neutropenia
The goal of this observational study is to characterize the diagnostic and therapeutic management of autoimmune cytopenias including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, and chronic idiopathic/autoimmune neutropenia. The main aims to answer are: evaluation of traditional and novel diagnostic tools including immunohematology, cytokine essays, bone marrow studies, molecular findings, and …
Non-invasive Detection of Iron Deficiency in Obstetrics
Validation of non-invasive measurement of zinc protoporphyrin for detection of iron deficiency in pregnancy. In addition, the impact of iron deficiency on the incidence of postpartum depression, restless legs syndrome, obstetric complications and quality of life will be examined.
Arterial Function Parameters and Transcranial Doppler Velocity in Paediatric Patients 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 …
Dietary Intake and Dietary Behaviors in Adults With Sickle Cell Disease
Background Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) causes blood cells form a crescent shape. It is caused by a genetic mutation in the hemoglobin gene. People with SCD are at increased risk for illnesses like stroke, chronic pain, and heart problems, as well as decreased overall health and well-being. Researchers want to …
The Role of Endothelin 1 as a Marker of Renal Impairment in Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) refers to a group of hemoglobinopathies that include mutations in the gene encoding the beta subunit of hemoglobin. Within the umbrella of SCD, many subgroups exist, namely sickle cell anemia (SCA), hemoglobin SC disease (HbSC), and hemoglobin sickle-beta-thalassemia (beta-thalassemia positive or beta-thalassemia negative). Several other minor …
Sickle Cell Disease Biofluid Chip Technology (SCD BioChip)
'Sickle-shaped' anemia was first clinically described in the US in 1910, and the mutated heritable sickle hemoglobin molecule was identified in 1949. The pathophysiology of SCD is a consequence of abnormal polymerization of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) and its effects on red cell membrane properties, shape, and density, and subsequent critical …
Do Alemtuzumab Levels Predict T Cell Chimerism After MSD SCT for SCD?
Rationale: Non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) has become a feasible curative treatment option for sickle cell disease (SCD) patients with an available matched sibling donor. Chemotherapy free conditioning with alemtuzumab and 3 Gy total body irradiation (TBI) is increasingly being used as preferred conditioning scheme for these patients. This …
A Pilot Study on Neuroimaging in SCD: Part of The Boston Consortium to Cure Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) impairs oxygen transport to tissue and causes endothelial injury. Thus, therapeutic interventions aim to improve both, but there is an unmet need for biomarkers to determine when intervention is necessary and evaluate the effectiveness of the chosen intervention in individual patients. This study proposes to monitor …
Gene Therapy Communication: Use of a Needs Assessment to Drive Decision-AIDS for Gene Therapy for Rare Diseases (GENETX)
This prospective mixed-method interview study aims to qualitatively describe the beliefs, attitudes, and informational needs around gene therapy for rare pediatric diseases among patients and parents of children with a rare disease targeted for treatment using gene therapy techniques. Using learned insights, the team will develop an online platform providing …
