Cerebral Oxygen Metabolism in Children
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.We will examine brain blood flow and metabolism using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The brain's blood vessels expand and constrict to regulate blood flow based …
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 …
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) …
Effectiveness of Nontraditional Hydroxyurea Algorithms: Novel and Clinical Evaluations (ENHANCE)
The main reason for this research study is to learn more about hydroxyurea and the treatment of sickle cell anemia (SCA). Hydroxyurea is a medication that has been studied for many years and has been shown to provide benefits for people with SCA.In this research study, the investigators hope to …
AlloSCT for Malignant and Non-malignant Hematologic Diseases Utilizing Alpha/Beta T Cell and CD19+ B Cell Depletion
Children, adolescents, and young adults with malignant and non-malignant conditionsundergoing an allogeneic stem cell transplantation (AlloSCT) will have the stem cells selected utilizing α/β CD3+/CD19+ cell depletion. All other treatment is standard of care.
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).
Sickle Cell Children's Exercise Study (SuCCESs)
The Sickle Cell Children's Exercise Study (SuCCESs) will explore the feasibility and effects of a moderate intensity strengthening, balance, speed, and agility intervention program in children with sickle cell disease.
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 …
Arginine Therapy for the Treatment of Pain in Children With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this study is to determine whether giving extra arginine to patients with sickle cell disease seeking treatment for vaso-occlusive painful events (VOE) will decrease pain scores, decrease need for pain medications or decrease length of hospital stay or emergency department visit.
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 …
