This was a retrospective cohort study using secondary data from member sites of the National Alliance of Sickle Cell Centers (NASCC) with patients who had initiated crizanlizumab between 2019 and 2022.
The project will test a tailored web and smartphone-based application (iCanCope with SCD) to improve pain self-management and functioning in youth (aged 12-18) with sickle cell disease. The program will include goal setting, peer-based social support, and pain self-management training. The investigators will determine initial program effectiveness through a pilot three-site randomized controlled trial in 160 youth randomized to treatment compared to attention control.
The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerance and efficacy of mobilizing hematopoietic stem cells after a single injection of plerixafor (0.24mg/kg) in 3 adult patients (or 5, if results of the first 3 patients are not reproducible) affected by sickle cell disease.
The purpose of the CSEG101A2202 study was to characterize the Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Pharmacodynamic (PD) of SEG101/crizanlizumab and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SEG101/crizanlizumab in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients.
This is a Phase II, single arm, multi-center trial. It is designed to estimate the efficacy and toxicity of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) who have high risk features.
pulmonary complications are common in sickle cell disease patients. Respiratory training using inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT) is usually a good choice to improve these complications. Recently, acupuncture like transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (AC-tens) may also improve these complications.
An open-label, single arm study in patients 12 to 21 years of age with SCD to evaluate the effects of etavopivat on cerebral and muscle hemodynamics.
Sickle Cell Disease is a serious disease that is life-threatening for patients being homozygous for the SS form or heterozygous for the SC or βthal forms. The CHU Brugmann hospital currently regularly treats about 70 homozygous adult patients and this number is in constant augmentation.
Sickle cell disease patients may develop a cardiomyopathy due to chronic anemia, the haemosiderosis risk or, less frequently, to coronary vaso-occlusive damages.
There has been little progress for effective treatment of pain in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. Many organizations have recognized that understanding the causes and reducing the burden of pain in SCD is critical in order to improve the quality of life in SCD patients. As patients with SCD face the challenge of living with both acute and chronic pain which is often improperly treated, our translational and interdisciplinary project aims to identify objective measures of pain sensitivity and its biochemical and genetic correlates.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate at the national level (France)
* the early healthcare practices for children with sickle cell disease screened at birth,
* the adequacy of theses practices with the national recommendations,
* their variability over time and according the characteristics of treatment centers.
