Mismatched donor stem cell transplant could widen treatment access for sickle cell disease
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a stem cell transplant using cells from mismatched unrelated or partially matched family donors for people with severe sickle cell disease and other transfusion-dependent anemias. The approach removes certain immune cells (T-cells) from the donated stem cells to …

Gene therapy could free kids from lifelong blood transfusions
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-stage trial tests a one-time gene therapy called APR-2020 in 4 children with a severe form of Diamond-Blackfan anemia. The treatment uses the child's own blood stem cells, modified to correct the genetic defect, and given back as an infusion. The goal is to see if it i…

New stem cell transplant trial aims to treat sickle cell disease and other blood disorders
Disease control Recruiting nowThis phase 2 trial tests a stem cell transplant from a donor for people with high-risk sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other red blood cell disorders. Participants receive drugs and low-dose radiation before the transplant to help the new cells take hold. The study will tra…

Milder transplant method aims to help young patients with rare blood diseases
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study is testing a less intense chemotherapy and radiation regimen before a stem cell transplant for children and young adults up to age 55 with non-cancerous blood disorders like immune deficiencies, anemias, and metabolic diseases. The goal is to see if this gentler prepar…

New anemia drug enters early human testing
Symptom relief Recruiting nowThis early-stage study tests a new drug called APG-5918 in healthy volunteers and people with anemia (low red blood cells). The main goal is to check safety and how the body handles the drug, while also seeing if it can raise hemoglobin levels. About 105 participants will take pa…

First step toward gene therapy for rare anemia: can stem cells be harvested?
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study checks if people with Diamond Blackfan Anemia (ages 3-30) can produce enough blood stem cells for future gene therapy. Participants receive two drugs to move stem cells from bone marrow into the blood, then researchers measure the cell count. No actual stem cell collec…
