Study to Understand the Genetic Risk of Developing an Immune Response After Blood Transfusions Among Individuals With Sickle Cell Disease
The purpose of this research study is to look at genes and determine how they interact with each other to find changes that could explain why some people's immune systems may respond to blood transfusions. This response is called an alloimmune response. We strongly believe that when someone has an …
Comparing the Effectiveness of Matched Related Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation to Disease Modifying Therapy in Pediatric Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
The WeDecide study is a large observational study comparing the long-term effects of matched related donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MRD HCT) and non-transplant disease-modifying therapies (NT-DMT) for pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). The study aims to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL), cognitive function, risks, and benefits …
HPC Offered for PRESERVE Expansion
Ossium recognizes that not all patients who could benefit from Ossium's HPC, Marrow can access the PRESERVE trial for logistical or eligibility reasons. The HOPE program is expanded access program to serve these patients by providing our bone marrow product
Hydroxyurea Exposure Limiting Pregnancy and Follow-Up Lactation
The purpose of this research study is to document and understand the effects of hydroxyurea exposure for women with SCD and their babies, during both gestation and lactation.
Recruitment and Engagement in Care to Impact Practice Enhancement (RECIPE) for Sickle Cell Disease
The goal of this observational study is to help us understand more about the best ways to help individuals living with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) get the best care. The main question it aims to answer is: How to find individuals unaffiliated from SCD specialist care use three distinct pathways? …
Dietary Intake and Dietary Behaviors in Adults With Sickle Cell Disease
Background Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) causes blood cells form a crescent shape. It is caused by a genetic mutation in the hemoglobin gene. People with SCD are at increased risk for illnesses like stroke, chronic pain, and heart problems, as well as decreased overall health and well-being. Researchers want to …
Data Collection Study of Patients With Non-Malignant Disorders Undergoing UCBT, BMT or PBSCT With RIC
This is a data collection study that will examine the general diagnostic and treatment data associated with the reduced-intensity chemotherapy-based regimen paired with simple alemtuzumab dosing strata designed to prevented graft failure and to aid in immune reconstitution following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Sickle Cell Disease and the Genomic and Gene Therapy Needs of Stakeholders
The primary objectives of this prospective mixed-method interview study are to use semi-structured interviews in parents of sickle cell disease (SCD) patients to describe parental attitudes of research involving genomic sequencing, including concerns about participation and expectations from researchers and second, to use surveys to quantitatively measure genetic/genomic knowledge, trust …
Sickle Cell Disease Biofluid Chip Technology (SCD BioChip)
'Sickle-shaped' anemia was first clinically described in the US in 1910, and the mutated heritable sickle hemoglobin molecule was identified in 1949. The pathophysiology of SCD is a consequence of abnormal polymerization of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) and its effects on red cell membrane properties, shape, and density, and subsequent critical …
Bone Loss, Physical Function and Frailty in Older Women With Sickle Cell Trait Sickle Cell Trait
This is a cross-sectional, clinical research study comparing postmenopausal women of African Descent (AD) with different hemoglobin genotypes: normal and sickle cell trait (SCT). This research study has two purposes. The first purpose is to determine whether having SCT is a risk factor for the development of bone thinning in …
