L-glutamine has been approved in the US to reduce the acute complications of sickle cell disease (SCD) in adult and pediatric patients 5 years of age and older. The purpose of this single-center, open-label, phase 4 study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety of L-glutamine in patients with SCD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of DREAM01, a gene therapy for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The therapy consists of transplanting autologous CD34+ cells transduced ex vivo with a bifunctional lentiviral vector expressing βAS3m-globin and an anti-βS miRNA. It aims to reduce or eliminate vaso-occlusive events and long-term organ damage in severe SCD patients lacking a Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) identical sibling donor.
The study will seek to enroll 100 sickle cell or thalassemia patients who are age 12 or older who have access to a smartphone or tablet with Internet access daily.
The study will evaluate patient-reported comfort level with using a mobile device to record their pain levels, as well as adherence to recording these levels daily.
The study will track patients' assessment of their pain, actions taken, and outcomes related to pain management and provider involvement.
The main reason for this research study is to learn more about hydroxyurea and the treatment of sickle cell anemia (SCA). Hydroxyurea is a medication that has been studied for many years and has been shown to provide benefits for people with SCA.
The study is designed as a Pilot/Phase 1 trial of reduced intensity Haploidentical HSCT in patients with sickle cell disease and thalassemia. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and toxicity of reduced intensity conditioning haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Background:
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder. People with SCD have abnormal hemoglobin in their red blood cells. Researchers are investigating the safety and efficacy of an investigational medicine called AG-348 (mitapivat sulfate) to determine if it will help people with SCD.
Objective:
To test the tolerability and safety of AG-348 in people with SCD.
Eligibility:
People ages 18 and older with SCD.
Design:
To determine the natural history of sickle cell disease from birth to death in order to identify those factors contributing to the morbidity and mortality of the disease.
This is a single center, open label Phase 1 clinical trial in normal adult subjects to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of HBI-002, an orally administered liquid containing carbon monoxide (CO), with single ascending doses (SAD), followed by multiple dose with doses daily for 7 days.
The proposed study is a Phase 1/2 multi-center study evaluating the safety and efficacy of erythropoietin (EPO) in combination with hydroxyurea in the treatment of chronic anemia in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD).
Background:
\- Many people with sickle cell disease have repeated episodes of severe pain that lasts for days, requiring hospital care. These episodes, called pain crises, may be caused by changes in blood flow. Researchers want to study blood flow in people with sickle cell disease who are having a pain crisis and compare it with their blood flow after the pain crisis has resolved. They also want to compare these measurements against blood flow in healthy people who do not have sickle cell disease.
