NCT ID NCT07277023
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study measured blood vessel function in 49 adults with sickle cell disease to see how it relates to disease severity. Researchers used laser and pulse wave tests to check small and large blood vessels. The goal was to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.
