  • Binge drinking is defined as a pattern of 5 (male)and 4 (female) or more alcoholic drinks in about 2 hours. As a general rule, alcohol intake should not exceed 14 units per week (1unit = 8 ounces (240 mL) beer, 1 ounce (30mL) of 40% spirit or 3 ounces (90 mL) of wine).

About this study

Official title: Sickle Cell Disease Patient Reported Outcomes in Adult Participants Aged ≥18 Years of Age On and Off Hydroxyurea

The purpose of this study is to learn more about painful crisis in people with Sickle Cell Disease. For this reason, Pfizer is conducting a study to understand how people with Sickle Cell Disease feel on a daily basis, treat these painful episodes including if they treat themselves at home or go to a doctor's office/emergency room, as well as the types of medications that are taken during these episodes.

Read the detailed description

Pfizer is developing an ePRO that is completed on a daily basis using a diary to comprehensively self-report VOCs in participants with SCD and its impact on their lives.This is a prospective, low-intervention study to evaluate the responsiveness of the SCD ePRO in a therapeutic setting. Efficacy of drugs intended to reduce the frequency of VOC has historically been assessed based on frequency of VOC with an operational definition for VOC that requires MU, an endpoint approach that is limited in its utility for assessing benefit of therapeutic interventions across the totality of the disease experience. Thus, despite current available treatments, many patients with SCD still experience VOCs and there remains a significant unmet medical need and an opportunity to improve on existing endpoints. While previous studies have been conducted to consider this endpoint, they have not been conducted in a therapeutic setting and therefore unable to assess the responsiveness of theSCD ePRO.1,2This study aims to assess the responsiveness of the patient-reported endpoints in participants with SCD who are not on a disease modifying therapy versus those who are on the disease modifying treatment HU.

Control Group1. Have experienced ≥1 episode(s) of MU VOC requiring documented unplanned medical intervention (eg, clinic, physician's office, emergency room or admission) requiring opioid or IV non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug treatment within 12 months prior to Screening. 2. Participant has no history of past treatment with HU unless the reason for discontinuation was pregnancy (or pregnancy of a partner). 3.

Have experienced ≥1 episode(s) of MU VOC requiring documented unplanned medical intervention (eg, clinic, physician's office, emergency room or admission) requiring opioid or IV non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug treatment within12 months prior to initiation of HU. 2. Must be on a stable dose of HU ≥8 weeks prior to Day 1 with the intent of remaining on the same dose throughout the study, unless adjustments are medically necessary due to bone marrow suppression, in accordance with published guidelines. 3.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary Objective #1:

    To assess whether the effect of HU on frequency of physician-reported MU VOC is observed in the study population, the annualized rate reduction in those on HU as compared to matched participants in control group will be evaluated. The null hypothesis is that the annualized physician-reported MU VOC rate in HU treatment group is not different from one in control group.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Primary Objective #2

    To assess whether the effect of HU on frequency of patient-reported crisis rates (VOC Day rate and Patient-reported VOC Event rate) calculated using SCD ePRO is observed in the study population, the annualized rates reduction in HU treatment group as compared to matched participants in control group will be evaluated. The corresponding null hypotheses are that the annualized patient-reported crisis rates in HU treatment group are not different from ones in control group.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Association Between Patient-Reported Crisis Rates and Physician-Reported MU VOC rate

    Patient-reported crisis rates are determined by VOC Day rate and patient-reported VOC Event rate and is calculated using the SCD ePRO. These will be compared to physician-reported MU VOC rate to assess if there is an association between them. The assessment will be done in the matched sample, as well as in those in HU treatment group and in matched control group participants. The corresponding null hypotheses are that the annualized patient-reported crisis rates are not associated with physician-reported MU VOC.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Anemia, run by Sanguine Biosciences at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 24 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 16 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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: Low enrollment, cohorts were not able to be filled). 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Objective #1: (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 16 Jul 2024.
