Scientists probe hidden triggers of sickle cell pain crises

NCT ID NCT05646888

Summary

This study aims to better understand how inflammation and blood clotting interact during painful episodes (vaso-occlusive crises) in adults with sickle cell disease. Researchers will collect blood samples from 25 hospitalized patients during their pain crisis, while they're in crisis, and two months later to measure markers of platelet activation and inflammation. The goal is to learn more about the disease process rather than test a new treatment.
