NCT ID NCT04156893

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether giving blood transfusions that match the patient's own RH genes can prevent the body from making harmful antibodies. About 35 people with sickle cell disease who need regular transfusions will receive specially matched donor blood. The goal is to see if this approach is possible and if it reduces the risk of transfusion reactions.
