Summary

This study tests whether red blood cells processed with the Hemanext ONE® system (hypoxic RBCs) last longer in the body compared to standard blood transfusions for people with sickle cell anemia. About 48 participants aged 7 and older who need regular transfusions will receive both types of blood in a crossover design. The goal is to see if hypoxic RBCs slow the decline of healthy hemoglobin, potentially reducing how often transfusions are needed.
