About this study

Official title: Quantitative and Prognostic Evaluation of Dense Red Blood Cells in Sickle Cell Children: Single-center Study From the Creteil (France) Pediatric Cohort

Quantitative and prognostic evaluation of dense red blood cells in sickle cell children: preliminary single center study from the Creteil pediatric cohort.

Read the detailed description

An association between red blood cell density and hemolytic parameters, and clinical manifestations has been demonstrated in adults with sickle cell anemia.

This factor has not been studied in children. The identification of predictive biomarkers of disease severity, especially of specific pediatric complications (cerebral vasculopathy, splenic sequestration, Dactylitis) would be useful for optimal care of the children and early intensification Red blood cell density might be one of these prognostic factors.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02887118
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Common armChildren with sickle cell anemia will be included. Blood samples of all the included patients will be collected during a day-hospitalization for a planned chek-up. For all these patients the number of dense erythrocytes will be evaluated

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

  1. number of dense red blood cells (DRBC)

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. biological profile

    hemolytic parameters (LDH, bilirubin, Hemoglobin level)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Number of patients with velocities > 200 cm/sec on transcranial doppler

    Cerebral vasculopathy (correlation with patients with abnormal velocities on transcranial doppler (TCD)(> 200 cm/sec)

    History of dactylitis History of ischemic lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Number of patients with history of acute splenic sequestration,

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Number of patients with history of acute chest syndrome

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Number of patients with History of dactylitis

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Number of patients with history of abnormal transcranial doppler (TCD) (≥ 200 cm/sec)

    Measured: 1 day

  7. Number of patients with history of ischemic lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    Measured: 1 day

  8. Number of patients with hydroxycarbamide treatment

    effect of hydroxycarbamide on the % DRBC

    Measured: 1 day

  9. Number of dense red blood cells

    number of dense red blood cells in the pediatric population with no known blood condition

    Measured: 1 day

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 8 inclusion and 4 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 10 Jul 2020. 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 was stopped early (reason given: The recruiting centre was no longer presenting new patients for inclusion). 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?

number of dense red blood cells (DRBC) (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT02887118, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 10 Jul 2020.
