Weekly pill trial offers hope for sickle cell bone pain

NCT ID NCT06016634

Summary

This study is testing if a weekly pill called alendronate is safe and tolerable for adults with sickle cell disease who have a painful bone condition called osteonecrosis (bone death). Researchers will enroll about 30 participants to take the pill for 6 months to see if it helps reduce their pain and affects bone health markers. The main goals are to see if people can stick with the study and to check for any side effects.
