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.
This is a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility and safety of providing RH genotype matched D+ Red Blood Cells (RBCs) to chronically transfused patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) who type D+ but have formed anti-D and are currently transfused with D- RBC (Red Blood Cell) units.
The purpose of this phase IIb, international, multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study is to determine the effect of hydroxycarbamide on albuminuria after 6 months of treatment in SCD adult patients.
The analgesic treatment for vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) in sickle-cell patients is an emergency.
MitoQ is commercially available as a dietary supplement and it has been tested as a potential drug in other diseases, but it has never been tested in patients with sickle cell disease.
The SCD-CARRE trial is a Phase 3, prospective, randomized, multicenter, controlled, parallel two-arm study aimed to determine if automated exchange blood transfusion and standard of care administered to high mortality risk adult SCD patients reduces the total number of episodes of clinical worsening of SCD requiring acute health care encounters (non-elective infusion center/ER/hospital visits) or resulting in death over 12 months as compared with standard of care.
HSCT is currently the only curative option for SCD but less than 20% of SCD patients have a MD donor available.
Background: Blood disorders like sickle cell disease and malaria affect many people around the world.
18 Years - 70 Years
The purpose of this research study is to better understand how blood flow and metabolism change can influence brain development in the early decades of life.
This will be a multistate, multicenter clinical study to determine the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis for a wide variety of chronic medical conditions.
This study will address if red blood cells transfused to a sickle cell patient from a donor with a glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme deficiency have a different lifespan as measured by the percentage of red blood cells that survive post-transfusion compared to red blood cells transfused to a sickle cell patient from a donor without a G6PD enzyme deficiency.
