NCT ID NCT02212535

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase study tested whether a single injection of plerixafor could safely and effectively mobilize stem cells in 3 adults with severe sickle cell disease who lacked a matched sibling donor. The goal was to see if enough stem cells could be collected for a possible future transplant. The study was very small and focused only on the collection step, not the transplant itself.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
plerixafor
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that plerixafor safely mobilizes stem cells in sickle cell patients, potentially enabling future stem cell transplants for those without a matched donor.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, tiny study (only 3 patients) testing only the stem cell collection step, not the transplant itself. It may not lead to a treatment, and risks include complications from the procedure.
