T-Cell Depleted Alternative Donor Bone Marrow Transplant for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and Other Anemias

Exploring a new bone marrow transplant option for sickle cell and anemia.

Recruiting
5-40 years
All
Phase 1/2
Study Overview: This study tests a way to help people with severe sickle cell disease (a blood disorder) and other anemias (conditions where you don't have enough healthy red blood cells) by using a special kind of bone marrow transplant. The goal is to help more patients get a transplant by using stem cells (special cells that can turn into other types of cells) from donors who aren't a perfect match. The study also uses a method to remove T-cells (a type of immune cell) to reduce risks of a problem called graft-versus-host disease (where the new cells attack the patient's body). Key Points:
  • The study involves a bone marrow transplant and requires hospital visits.
  • The study lasts up to 24 months, and participants must agree to use birth control during this time.
  • Participants will be informed about potential risks, including the possibility of infertility.
Eligibility: Children and adults aged 5 to 40 with certain blood disorders can join. Participants need to have tried other treatments without success and meet specific health requirements.

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.
