RElated Haplo-DonoR Haematopoietic stEm Cell Transplantation for Adults With Severe Sickle Cell Disease

Exploring stem cell transplant for adults with severe sickle cell disease.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase 3

This study is about testing a new treatment called *Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation (SCT)* for adults with severe sickle cell disease (SCD). SCD is a blood disorder causing abnormal red blood cells, leading to pain and other health problems. The treatment uses stem cells from a half-matched family member to help replace the patient's blood-forming cells.

Eligibility: Participants must be 18 or older, have a half-matched donor, and have severe SCD. This means they've had serious health issues like strokes, frequent chest problems, or severe pain despite treatment. They should also be able to handle the transplant process with stable heart, lung, and kidney function.

Key Points:

  • The study is for adults who have tried other treatments without success.
  • Participants cannot have a fully matched sibling donor and must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Participants should be ready to use effective contraception if they can conceive.

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.
