Trial summary

The primary purpose of this research is to determine if it is feasible to perform serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the amount of bone marrow cells (also called cellularity) and iron stores before and after bone marrow transplantation for severe sickle cell disease.

What participants receive

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

  • serial functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)Diagnostic test

    All subjects with sickle cell disease undergoing bone marrow transplantation will undergo up to 4 functional MRI scans.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MRI armExperimentalSubjects with sickle cell disease undergoing bone marrow transplantation will undergo serial functional MRI (up to 4 scans).
Receives: Diagnostic Test: serial functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of obtaining serial scans in patients with sickle cell undergoing marrow transplant

    Feasibility will be measured by the number of subjects who undergo at least 2 of 4 scheduled functional MRI's

    Measured: 110 days post transplant

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. MRI and hemoglobin S.

    Correlation between functional MRI result and hemoglobin S level.

    Measured: 1 year post transplant

  2. MRI and neutrophil engraftment

    Correlation between functional MRI result and time to neutrophil engraftment

    Measured: 1 year post transplant

  3. MRI and chimerism

    Correlation between functional MRI result and time to donor/ recipient chimerism

    Measured: 1 year post transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing serial functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in people with Sickle Cell Disease, run by University of Michigan 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 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 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 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?

Feasibility of obtaining serial scans in patients with sickle cell undergoing marrow transplant (time frame: 110 days post transplant). 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 13 Nov 2020.
