Reduced Intensity Conditioning for Non-Malignant Disorders Undergoing UCBT, BMT or PBSCT
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of using a reduced-intensity condition (RIC) regimen with umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT), double cord UCBT, matched unrelated donor (MUD) bone marrow transplant (BMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) in patients with non-malignant disorders that are amenable to …
A Phase 2 Open-label Study to Evaluate the Activity of Etavopivat on Transcranial Doppler Velocities in Pediatric Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Who Are at Increased Risk for Primary Stroke
The study will test a new medicine, etavopivat, for sickle cell disease and see if it is safe and help-ful for participants with sickle cell disease who are at an increased risk of stroke. Participants will be divided into two cohorts depending on their transcranial doppler (TCD) ultrasound results and …
Minimizing Toxicity in HLA-identical Sibling Donor Transplantation for Children With Sickle Cell Disease
This multisite prospective study seeks to determine if HLA-identical sibling donor transplantation using alemtuzumab, low dose total-body irradiation, and sirolimus (Sickle transplant Using a Nonmyeloablative approach, "SUN") can decrease the toxicity of transplant while achieving a high cure rate for children with sickle cell disease (SCD).
Pressure Pain Tolerance in Relation to Balance and Strength in Children
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most frequent life-threatening genetic hemoglobinopathy in the world and occurs due to the synthesis of abnormal hemoglobin S (HbS).Cells with sickle cell hemoglobin are stiff and sticky. When they lose their oxygen, they form into the shape of a sickle or crescent. This can …
A Study of Immune Suppression Treatment for People With Sickle Cell Disease or β-Thalassemia Who Are Going to Receive an Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)
Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation/HCT involves receiving healthy blood-forming cells (stem cells) from a donor to replace the diseased or damaged cells in participants' bone marrow. The researchers think giving participants treatment with fludarabine and dexamethasone, drugs that lower the activity of the body's immune system (immune suppression), before standard conditioning therapy …
Tocilizumab for Acute Chest Syndrome
The investigators are evaluating the role of a low dose of tocilizumab in treating acute chest syndrome in patients with sickle cell disease. Tocilizumab inhibits interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptors and is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and severe cytokine release syndrome, which can be seen with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) …
The Implementation of the Automated Erythrocytapheresis in Egyptian Sickle Cell Disease Center
Improvements of health infrastructure, preventive care and clinical treatment have reduced the morbidity and mortality of sickle cell disease (SCD). However, SCD is still an increasing national health problem, with increase longevity the chronic effect of sustained hemolysis and episodic vaso-occlusive events and the recurrent episodes of ischemic reperfusion injury …
School Readiness Intervention for Preschool Children With Sickle Cell Disease
The study participant is being asked to take part in this clinical trial, a type of research study, because the participant is a young child with sickle cell disease or the caregiver of a child with sickle cell disease. This study is being done to test a school readiness program …
Hemolysis Related Complications in SCD. A Phase II Study With Voxelotor
Intro Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation of the β hemoglobin called HbS, which causes red blood cell (RBC) abnormalities responsible for hemolysis, mainly intravascular, leading to chronic anemia. Intravascular hemolysis is responsible for severe inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Maintaining hemoglobin in its oxygenated R-conformation …
Cannabinoids for the Reduction of Inflammation and Sickle Cell Related Pain
A randomized, double blind, study of dronabinol as a palliative agent in the treatment of pain, inflammation, and other complications of sickle cell disease (SCD).
