A Study of Nicotinamide With Oral Tetrahydrouridine and Decitabine to Treat High Risk Sickle Cell Disease
A randomized control trial in 20 subjects with sickle cell disease comparing oral THU-decitabine to nicotinamide and in combination (THU, decitabine and nicotinamide).
Osteopathic Manipulation in the Management of Pain Associated With Sickel Cell Disease
Background: Sickle cell disease is the most common monogenic disease in the world caused by a mutation in the β-globin gene which creates abnormal hemoglobin called HbS. This polymer deforms the erythrocyte, making it more fragile and less flexible, thus leading to the occlusion of small blood vessels. This obstruction …
Autologous Testicular Tissue Transplantation
Freezing testicular tissue of prepubertal boys is a method for preserving spermatogonial stem cells in case of imminent gonadotoxic treatment during childhood. In case of total azoospermia or absence of spermatozoa that can be used for intra-cytoplasmic injection (ICSI) in adulthood, the investigators intend to perform the first in men …
Metabolic and Hemodynamic Reserve in Pediatric SCA
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. SCA participants and healthy controls are age and sex-matched for comparison. Within the SCA cohort, children with infarcts may have thinner cortices than those …
Feasibility and Efficacy of Attentional-Control Training in Sickle Cell Disease
Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) exhibit significantly reduced cognitive functioning (often difficulties with attention) compared to peers and siblings without SCD. EndeavorRx (Akili Interactive Labs: Boston, MA) is an FDA-approved home-based, electronic attentional-control training program designed to treat attention problems in youth. Users access EndeavorRx on a tablet device …
Gene Correction in Autologous CD34+ Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HbS to HbA) to Treat Severe Sickle Cell Disease
This study is a first-in-human, single-arm, open-label Phase I/II study of nula-cel in approximately 15 participants, diagnosed with severe Sickle Cell Disease. The primary objective is to evaluate safety of the treatment in this patient population, as well as preliminary efficacy and pharmacodynamic data.
Study of Crizanlizumab for Prevention of Silent Cerebral Infarcts in SCA
In this prospective, single-arm, open-label, imaging and treatment study, the investigator will test the hypothesis that crizanlizumab will prevent the progression of silent cerebral infarcts in patients with sickle cell disease. Study participants will undergo brain MRI before initiation of crizanlizumab and at 6 and 30 months after starting crizanlizumab …
Relationship Between Abnormal Myocardial Perfusion and Diastolic Dysfunction in Sickle Cell Disease Using PET
There is limited information on what causes injury to the heart in individuals with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Researchers in this study want to see if decreased blood flow to the heart during stress could be causing the heart damage seen in SCD patients. They also want to test people …
Fetal Cell Receptors Repertoire
The purpose of this study is to describe the transcriptomic profile of foetal cells in post-partum and more specifically to determine which chemokine receptors are overexpressed in foetal cells in post-partum women with wounds To do so, the investigators will isolate foetal cells from the peripheral blood of healthy controls …
T-Cell Depleted Alternative Donor Bone Marrow Transplant for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and Other Anemias
The purpose of this study is to evaluate what effect, if any, mismatched unrelated volunteer donor and/or haploidentical related donor stem cell transplant may have on severe sickle cell disease and other transfusion dependent anemias. By using mismatched unrelated volunteer donor and/or haploidentical related donor stem cells, this study will …
