Trial summary

Sickle cell disease (SCD), also known as sickle cell anemia, is an inherited blood disease that can cause intense pain episodes. The purpose of this study is to collect, test, and archive blood and DNA samples from children and adults with SCD to study the role that genes play in SCD. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers (CSCC) Collaborative Genotype-Phenotype Database and Sample Repository

Sickle cell disease (SCD), also known as sickle cell anemia, is an inherited blood disease that can cause intense pain episodes. The purpose of this study is to collect, test, and archive blood and DNA samples from children and adults with SCD to study the role that genes play in SCD. Blood and DNA samples will be stored for use in future SCD studies.

Read the detailed description

SCD is an inherited blood disorder that is caused by an abnormal type of hemoglobin. Symptoms include anemia, infections, organ damage, and intense episodes of pain, which are called "sickle cell crises." The Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers (CSCC) is a network of 10 centers that conduct research to improve health care and treatment options for people with SCD. The Collaborative Data Project (C-Data) is a CSCC study that is establishing a comprehensive database of children and adults with SCD who are receiving medical care at participating CSCC research centers. This study will initiate the development of a centralized laboratory that will collect, test, and archive blood and DNA samples from participants in the C-Data project for use in future SCD studies. The collection of blood and DNA samples will provide researchers with an important resource to better define the genetic diversity of SCD. In the future, genotype-phenotype correlation studies, population studies, and various other genetic studies may be conducted.

This study will enroll participants taking part in the C-Data project. For this study, participants will undergo a blood collection. The blood sample will then be sent to a lab to characterize the red blood cells and hemoglobin. DNA will be analyzed to identify genes that influence the severity of SCD. Blood and DNA will be stored for future genetic research in SCD and closely related disorders.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia, Sickle Cell, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at 13 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Funds for study ended September 30, 2008.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2016.
