Hundreds of clinical trials are rolled out around the world monthly, and many of them are designed to specifically uncover and manage the medical needs of people with sickle cell disease and trait. We keep an updated list of these global studies here, so you don’t have to go searching for them. There might be active study recruitment and enrollment happening at a site near you. Explore the list below to see the different types of studies, and use the navigation options on the left to get as specific as you would like.
Background: Sickle cell disease is the most common monogenic disease in the world caused by a mutation in the β-globin gene which creates abnormal hemoglobin called HbS.
This is a single-dose, open-label study in participants with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) or severe sickle cell disease (SCD).
In this study the investigators will prospectively investigate whether the addition of a 3-months long preconditioning with azathioprine to the alemtuzumab/TBI non-myeloablative conditioning results in improved disease-free survival and donor chimerism after allo-SCT in SCD patients.

ADAPT is a prospective cohort study at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital (JRRH) primarily to assess the effect of hydroxyurea on blood transfusion utilization and secondarily to determine the feasibility of PK-guided hydroxyurea dosing.
This will be an open-label, dose escalating study with a starting dose of 2mg.
This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) and alemtuzumab as a conditioning regimen in patients with sickle cell disease.
This study examines how well a new, potential medicine called NDec works and is tolerated in people with sickle cell disease.
This is a single-dose, open-label study in pediatric participants with severe SCD and hydroxyurea (HU) failure or intolerance.
The overall goal of this feasibility study is to establish a standard of care stroke prevention program for children with sickle cell anemia in a community hospital by task shifting stroke detection and transcranial Doppler ultrasound screening to nurses.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the performance of the sickle cell disease (SCD) electronic diary in people with SCD who are on treatment that will change SCD and those not on such a treatment.
