The primary objective is to determine if there is a significant increase in the haematocrit value of patients on Jobelyn and standard therapy compared to those on standard therapy alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether IV acetaminophen can decrease the need for subsequent opioid administration in the acute management of sickle cell crisis pain in the pediatric emergency room.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficiency of the preventive oxygen therapy on the occurrence of vaso-occlusive complications, which last more than 24 hours and require hospitalisation, in women with sickle cell disease.
This is a pilot study of hydroxyurea versus placebo to reduce central nervous system complications (abnormally fast blood flow to the brain, silent cerebral infarct or stroke) in young children with sickle cell disease. The investigators plan to identify children 12 to 48 months old without central nervous system complications and randomly assign 20 to treatment with hydroxyurea and 20 to treatment with placebo for 36 months. Neither the study doctors nor the participants will know which treatment they are receiving.
This study will provide information regarding the metabolic pathway of GBT440, the need for evaluation of potential drug-drug interactions, and the need for studies in special populations. The administration of radiolabeled drug is necessary to fully characterize the rates and routes of elimination of GBT440, providing further quantitative information on the disposition of GBT440. The results from this study will permit a comprehensive comparison between animal and human routes of elimination and metabolic profiles of GBT440.
This is a retrospective descriptive study to create an institutional registry that will continue as a prospective follow-up non-intervention study that will be carried out at Hematology Oncology and BMT Department, Children's Hospital, Ain-Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that a sufficient number of iron-overloaded thalassemia (THAL), Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)and Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) populations with similar duration of chronic transfusion, and age at start of transfusions would be available for a confirmatory study. The study will examine the hypothesis that a chronic inflammatory state in SCD leads to hepcidin- and cytokine-mediated iron withholding within the RES (reticuloendothelial system), lower plasma NTBI (non-transferrin bound iron) levels, less distribution of iron to the heart in SCD.
This is a phase 2a, global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigating the safety of anumigilimab administered subcutaneously (SC) at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in adult participants with SCD.
The primary aim of the study is to assess the safety of anumigilimab in participants with SCD. Participants will be treated for 64 weeks: for 12 weeks in the dose escalation period, where the dose will be escalated to each participant's individual MTD; and for 52 weeks at the MTD in the maintenance period.
Background: Pain and sleep disturbance are the most common problems experienced by adult patients with sickle cell disease anemia. Aim: the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of designed exercise program on pain, and quality of sleeping in adult patients with sickle cell disease anemia and how the program affects their quality of lives. Subjects and methods: Adults patients with sickle cell diseases aging over 18 years old. Data will be collected in face-to-face interviews. Eligible participants will be equally and randomized into two groups.
The overall goal of the project is to reduce pain-related, 30-day readmission rates for sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. The investigators want to see if a mobile phone application (app) can help decrease the need for repeat admission to the hospital because of sickle cell pain.
