This study measures the effect of exercise on a variety of biomarkers in blood and urine selected to evaluate the physiological pathways of hemolysis, myolysis, thrombosis, inflammation, and renal function in subjects with sickle cell trait. These pathways have been shown to be associated with adverse events in athletes and warfighters with SCT upon protracted, repeated, strenuous exertion.
The purpose of this study is to validate a brief survey tool, the SCD Pain Burden Interview (SCPBI), which can be used in the clinical and/or research settings to assess the impact of pain on children with sickle cell disease.
A randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial of zinc to reduce the incidence of severe or invasive infections in Ugandan children with sickle cell anemia (SCA)
Objective:
to gain insight in the pathogenesis, to identify biomarkers to recognize patients at risk for proliferative SCR and to investigate its associations with clinical and laboratory characteristics.
Endpoints:
The investigators will determine the difference in the above named parameters between patients with and without PSCR
Study design:
In a hybrid type I effectiveness-implementation trial, our three-center research teams aim to examine whether empowering adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) with patient-facing SCD-specific guidelines through an mHealth application with booklets will decrease acute healthcare utilization and be cost-effective over booklets with the guidelines alone.
In this prospective observational study among sickle cell children aged 7 to 17 years, who face many experience of pain, pain will be assessed during incentive spirometry sessions. Then a relation between, inspiratory volume, pain and the length of hospital stay will be identified .
The study team proposes a triple-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II clinical trial of once-daily inhaled mometasone for 48 weeks (with 4-week washout at study completion) in individuals with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) who report episodic cough or wheeze (ECW) but do not have asthma. Patients will be recruited from and followed in SCD clinics at participating sites. The primary endpoint will be a reduction in sVCAM level of 20% or more in comparison to placebo.
This is a single site nonrandomized pilot clinical trial of the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a combination treatment involving digital Cogmed working memory skills training, social support components, and memory strategy training to improve adherence to Cogmed in youth with sickle cell disease ages 7-16 years.
This is a phase 1, first-in-human, multi-center, open-label, single dose cohort study to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), exploratory pharmacodynamics (PD), and biomarkers of target engagement of CSL889 following single intravenous (IV) doses in subjects with sickle cell disease (SCD). The study involves sequential dose escalation of cohorts with between-group assessments of key safety and PK variables.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of HQK-1001 administered for a total of 12 weeks (with one dosing break) in subjects with sickle cell disease.
