Zinc Supplementation in Sickle Cell Disease: A Precursor to the Think Zinc for Bones Trial
The goal of this short term prospective Phase II study is to compare the effects of two alternate daily doses of zinc (25 and 40 mg/day) in 34 randomly assigned homozygous Sickle Cell Disease (SCD-SS) patients aged 15-40 years old. The main question it aims to answer is: Which biomarkers …
Effects of the Contraceptive Implant in Women With Sickle Cell Disease
The objective of this study is to measure the acceptability and impact of the progestin implant on frequency of vaso-occlusive crises, quality of life, and hematologic parameters in women with SCD.
Study of a Single Dose of a 21-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Children and Adolescents With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this study is to measure whether PCV21 vaccine (investigational pneumococcal vaccine) is safe and can help the body to develop germ-fighting agents called "antibodies" (immunogenicity) compared with 20vPCV (licensed pneumococcal vaccine) when given as a single dose to children aged 2 to 17 years with sickle cell …
SCD Stem Cell Mobilization and Apheresis Using Motixafortide
This study is being done to see if the study drug, motixafortide, is safe in participants with sickle cell disease (SCD). Investigators also want to see if the drug will help the body increase the number of stem cells that can be collected for possible future transplant use.PRIMARY OBJECTIVETo characterize …
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.

This study is designed to estimate the efficacy and toxicity of familial HLA mismatched bone marrow transplants in patients with non-malignant disease who are less than 21 years of age and could benefit from the procedure.
Gene Editing For Sickle Cell Disease
This study is being done to test the safety of a new treatment called gene editing in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) patients and to see if a single dose of this genetically modified cellular product will increase the amount of a certain hemoglobin called fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and help reduce …
Nonmyeloablative Stem Cell Transplant in Children with Sickle Cell Disease and a Major ABO-Incompatible Matched Sibling Donor
The aim of this study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) who have a matched related major ABO-incompatible donor. The nonmyeloablative regimen will use alemtuzumab, total body irradiation (TBI) and …
Multi Disciplinary Sickle Cell Disease Obstetrics Care Program in Ghana
The goal of this observational study is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of initiating a multidisciplinary sickle cell disease (SCD) obstetrics program for women with SCD in a non-academic hospital.The main question it aims to answer is: In a before-and-after study design, we will test the hypothesis that multidisciplinary …
