Observational Study to Deeply Phenotype Major Organs in Sickle Cell Disease After Curative Therapies
Background: People with sickle cell disease (SCD) have problems with their heart, brain, kidneys, liver, and lungs as they age. These problems may improve after transplant.
This is an observational study. You are not assigned a new experimental drug. Researchers measure what already happens in your care or in daily life.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
This listing is observational (StudyType). The registry does not assign a new experimental drug as the study intervention.
They plan to enroll about 200 people at Bethesda. Taking part typically means study visits and measurements plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
Observational Study to Deeply Phenotype Major Organs in Sickle Cell Disease After Curative Therapies
Primary outcome (registry wording): Change in LVEDV/BSA in patients with SCD who undergo curative therapies as compared to patients who receive non-curative treatment
Who it is for (from inclusion criteria)
Ages 18 Years to 100 Years
In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:
Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
Male or female, aged \>=18 years
Patients with current or previous diagnosis of any type of SCD (including HbSS, HbSC, HbSbeta\^0-thal, HbSbeta\^+-thal) who:
plan to receive an allogeneic HCT or gene therapy,
are receiving non-curative treatment (standard of care or investigational) and who do not plan to receive an allogeneic HCT or gene therapy
This study is not a treatment protocol and no experimental treatments are involved. Study participants may be seen as needed for clinical, translational and basic research studies, or as medically indicated.
This study will collect representative blood samples from healthy children and adults and from children and adults who have unique red blood cell features that are related to sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease is a blood disease that limits the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body.
Background: Some people with the same disorder on a genetic level have more complications than others. Researchers want to look for a link between the PKLR gene and sickle cell disease (SCD) symptoms.
