Effects of the Contraceptive Implant in Women With Sickle Cell Disease
The objective of this study is to measure the acceptability and impact of the progestin implant on frequency of vaso-occlusive crises, quality of life, and hematologic parameters in women with SCD.
Study of Panobinostat (LBH589) in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out about the safety and effects of a drug called panobinostat when given to adults with sickle cell disease. Panobinostat is a pan histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. HDAC inhibitors have been shown to significantly increase hemoglobin F induction, which is …
Promoting Utilization and Safety of Hydroxyurea Using Precision in Africa
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is among the world's most common and devastating blood disorders, affecting more than 300,000 newborns per year. Most infants with SCA are born in the low-resource settings of sub- Saharan Africa, where an estimated 50-90% will die before 5 years of age due to lack of …
BEACON: A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of BEAM-101 in Patients With Severe Sickle Cell Disease
This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the administration of autologous base edited CD34+ HSPCs (BEAM-101) in patients with severe SCD
Osteopathic Manipulation in the Management of Pain Associated With Sickel Cell Disease
Background: Sickle cell disease is the most common monogenic disease in the world caused by a mutation in the β-globin gene which creates abnormal hemoglobin called HbS. This polymer deforms the erythrocyte, making it more fragile and less flexible, thus leading to the occlusion of small blood vessels. This obstruction …
Arginine Therapy for the Treatment of Pain in Children With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this study is to determine whether giving extra arginine to patients with sickle cell disease seeking treatment for vaso-occlusive painful events (VOE) will decrease pain scores, decrease need for pain medications or decrease length of hospital stay or emergency department visit.
Study on Use of Omega-3 Fatty Acids to Improve Outcomes in Individuals With Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Pain and many adverse outcomes occurring in sickle cell disease are inflammatory driven. Recent data has shown that gut dysbiosis is present in individuals with sickle cell disease. Gut dysbiosis has been linked to inflammation in certain diseases. Omega …
Pediatric -Adult Care Transition Program of Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
Background The pediatric-adult care transition is a risk-disrupting time for patients with chronic disease. This care transition takes place during adolescence; a period of psychological upheavals and adaptations of family roles. During this period, medication adherence is non-optimal and absenteeism at medical appointments is high. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is …
Myeloablative Conditioning, Prophylactic Defibrotide and Haplo AlloSCT for Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
This is a follow-up trial to NYMC 526 (NCT01461837) to assess the safety, efficacy and toxicity of administering Defibrotide prophylaxis for high-risk sickle cell or beta thalassemia patients undergoing a familial haploidentical allogeneic stem cell transplantation with CD34 enrichment and T-cell addback. This patient population historically has a risk of …
Relationship Between Abnormal Myocardial Perfusion and Diastolic Dysfunction in Sickle Cell Disease Using PET
There is limited information on what causes injury to the heart in individuals with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Researchers in this study want to see if decreased blood flow to the heart during stress could be causing the heart damage seen in SCD patients. They also want to test people …
