Sickle Cell Disease Transplant Using a Nonmyeloablative Approach for Patients With Anti-donor Red Cell Antibody

Study on gentle stem cell transplant for sickle cell patients with antibodies.

Recruiting
2-25 years
All
Phase 2
This study is for patients with **Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)**, a condition where red blood cells are misshaped and can cause blockages in blood flow. The trial will test if a medicine called **daratumumab** can be used before a special type of transplant to help patients who have antibodies (proteins made by the immune system) that could attack donor red blood cells. This approach uses a "nonmyeloablative" method, meaning the treatment is less intense on the body compared to traditional transplants. The goal is to see if this treatment can prevent a condition called **pure red blood cell aplasia**, where red blood cells are not made properly, and help patients live without complications similar to those without these antibodies. **Key Points:** - **Eligibility:** Ages 2-24.99 with a matched sibling donor and certain health conditions. - **Study Duration:** A 4-week period before the transplant where daratumumab is given. - **Risks:** Patients must not have serious infections, heart, liver, or kidney problems. This study hopes to offer a safer transplant option for patients with SCD, providing important information on using daratumumab before transplants.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
