About this study

Official title: Academic Multicenter Prospective Observational Study of the Factors Responsible for Nephropathy in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Followed by Belgium and the Nord-Pas -De- Calais Region and Creating a Biobank of Blood and Urine

The objective of the study is to refine our knowledge on the physiopathology of the symptoms and the complications for the patients affected by a drepanocytic syndrome.

The establishment of risk factors and indicators of severity will allow to target better the patients requiring an adequate strategy in order to prevent the installation of some complications or to limit their worsening.

Read the detailed description

Some additional tubes will be taken during the usual control of blood test of the drepanocytic patient. A sample of urine will be also asked. Tubes, after pre-treatment, will be sent to Erasme hospital.

A series ob biological but also genetic parameters, both at asymptomatic patients and those in aigüe phase of the disease, can be measured either immediately or a little time after the prelevement.

In this way, we can study numerous domains linked to the physiopathology of the drepanocytose (hémolyse, vaso-occlusion, rheology, factors modulators of the clinical expression). The surplus of the collection could be used for other researchs. It's in this context that we also wish to constitute a biobank of serum, plasma and urine for these drepanocytic patients by surplus of taken material.

The study is realized within the framework of an academic collaboration between institutions. The bank of takings will be located in the reference center of the pathologies of the Red Blood Cell (laboratory of medical chemistry of the erasme hospital).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sickle Cell Disease, run by Erasme University Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2019. 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 Belgium. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Béatrice BG Gulbis, Phd MD (+32 02 555 34 27 ext. 3427, Chimie@erasme.ulb.ac.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Urinary Albumin (time frame: each year). 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 19 Dec 2019.
