ATHN Transcends: A Natural History Study of Non-Neoplastic Hematologic Disorders
In parallel with the growth of American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network's (ATHN) clinical studies, the number of new therapies for all congenital and acquired hematologic conditions, not just those for bleeding and clotting disorders, is increasing significantly. Some of the recently FDA-approved therapies for congenital and acquired hematologic conditions have …
FLOWER: Following Longitudinal Outcomes With Epidemiology for Rare Diseases
FLOWER is a completely virtual, nationwide, real-world observational study to collect, annotate, standardize, and report clinical data for rare diseases. Patients participate in the study by electronic consent (eConsent) and sign a medical records release to permit data collection. Medical records are accessed from institutions directly via eFax or paper …
Tissue Repository Providing Annotated Biospecimens for Approved Investigator-directed Biomedical Research Initiatives
To collect, preserve, and/or distribute annotated biospecimens and associated medical data to institutionally approved, investigator-directed biomedical research to discover and develop new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative methods for specific and complex conditions.
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 …
Study of Erythrocyte Parameters and Hypercoagulability in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD-TGA)
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited haemoglobinopathy disorder caused by mutations in HBB gene with amino-acid substitution on β globin chain. The consequence is synthesis of altered haemoglobin S (HbS) which polymerises in red blood cell (RBC) at deoxygenated state. SCD is associated with chronic haemolytic anaemia, vaso-occlusive crisis …
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 Predictive Capacity of Machine Learning Models for Progressive Kidney Disease in Individuals With Sickle Cell Anemia
This is a multicenter prospective, longitudinal cohort study which will evaluate the predictive capacity of machine learning (ML) models for progression of CKD in eligible patients for a minimum of 12 months and potentially for up to 4 years.
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 …
Comparing the Effectiveness of Matched Related Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation to Disease Modifying Therapy in Pediatric Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
The WeDecide study is a large observational study comparing the long-term effects of matched related donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MRD HCT) and non-transplant disease-modifying therapies (NT-DMT) for pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). The study aims to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL), cognitive function, risks, and benefits …
