Trial summary

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder characterized by recurrent painful crises with ischemia resulting from vascular occlusion. Adults with SCD have increased arterial stiffness and reduced flow-mediated dilation (FMD), due to impaired release of substances such as nitric oxide. Read more about this study

About this study

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder characterized by recurrent painful crises with ischemia resulting from vascular occlusion. Adults with SCD have increased arterial stiffness and reduced flow-mediated dilation (FMD), due to impaired release of substances such as nitric oxide.

The present study assess the vascular properties of carotid and brachial arteries in children with SCD compared with a control group without cardiovascular risk factors.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of endothelial function

    Evaluation parameter of endothelial function (brachial artery): flow dependent dilatation (expressed in%)

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. match the measurement thickness of the intima media

    The thickness of the intima media (ITM) on the right common carotid

    Measured: baseline

  2. match the measurement systolic and diastolic diameters

    systolic and diastolic diameters (sD, dD)

    Measured: baseline

  3. distensibility cross sectional

    match the measurement on the compliance and distensibility cross sectional (CCS, DCS)

    Measured: baseline

  4. Match the measurement on the diastolic wall stress

    diastolic wall stress (DWS)

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Echocardiography in people with Sickle Cell Disease, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

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 11 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2017. 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 France. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Evaluation of endothelial function (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02829580, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 May 2017.
