Clinical trials: Fetal Hemoglobin
Sickle Cell Disease
Assessment of Algorithm-Based Hydroxyurea Dosing on Fetal Hemoglobin Response, Acute Complications, and Organ Function in People With Sickle Cell Disease
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a blood disease. The drug hydroxyurea (HU) is approved to prevent pain crises in people with SCD. Researchers want to see how higher doses of HU affect the blood.

Premature Infant Disease, Transfusion Related Complication
Cord Blood Transfusion In Preterm Neonates (CB-TrIP)
Repeated transfusions have been associated with very poor outcome of preterm infants. Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and adult Hb (HbA) have different affinity for oxygen.

Sickle Cell Disease, Sickle Cell Anemia
Efficacy of Vorinostat to Induce Fetal Hemoglobin in Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a hereditary anemia that causes the red blood cells to change their shape from a round and doughnut-like shape to a half-moon/crescent, or sickled shape.
