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 …
Stress Management and Mindfulness Intervention for Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this research is to determine whether a new stress management and mindfulness program can improve quality of life in individuals with sickle cell disease. The program is based on a number of empirically supported treatments including techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy like overcoming motivational barriers to self-care, learning …
Investigation Into the Use of BAH243 Lentiviral Vector for Gene Therapy in Treating Sickle Cell Disease
This study is an open-label, non-randomized, single-dose Phase 1/2 trial involving around 85 adult and pediatric participants aged between 2 and 50 years with sickle cell disease (SCD). It aims to assess the effectiveness of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using BAH243 for SCD.
A Phase 2/3 Study in Adult and Adolescent Participants With SCD
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of osivelotor.
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 …
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 …
Losartan for Diffuse Myocardial Fibrosis in Sickle Cell Disease
This study is a pilot, phase II, open-label study of the angiotensin II receptor blocker, losartan, in patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) 6 years or older for 12 months. The investigators will enroll 24 patients with SCD over the course of 1 year with a goal to complete all …
Haploidentical Transplantation With Pre-Transplant Immunosuppressive Therapy for Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
This is a study to evaluate the safety and toxicity of a treatment regimen consisting of 2 cycles of pre-transplant immunosuppressive therapy followed by myeloablative preparative regimen and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a haploidentical donor in patients with sickle cell disease. The overall goal of this study is …
