Sickle Cell Anemia clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 8 recruiting sickle cell anemia studies with a site in Maryland — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT06481306RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for sickle cell disease in healthy people and patients
This early-phase study tests a new drug (BMS-986470) for people with sickle cell disease who have frequent pain crises. The goal is to see if it can safely reduce crises. It includes a small group of healthy volunteers as well.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07566494RecruitingPhase 1
Testing VAS-101 for sickle cell disease
This early-phase trial tests a new drug called VAS-101 for people with sickle cell disease. It aims to find a safe dose and see how the drug affects the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT05904093RecruitingPhase 1
Check if increasing fostamatinib doses are safe in sickle cell
This Phase 1 study tests whether increasing doses of fostamatinib are safe and tolerated in adults with stable sickle cell disease. It may help researchers understand if the drug could be a future treatment option for people with stable sickle cell.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT00542230Recruiting
Blood sample study for sickle cell trait and controls
This study collects blood samples to learn more about sickle cell-related genetics and biology. You might benefit indirectly by helping researchers understand the condition, even though this is laboratory research rather than a medication trial.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06439082RecruitingPhase 3
Crizanlizumab for sickle cell pain crises
This trial tests whether crizanlizumab can reduce painful sickle cell crises (called vaso-occlusive crises or VOCs) in people with sickle cell disease who have frequent crises. It may be an option for those who still have crises despite current treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12–100 - NCT04008368RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Second stem cell transplant for sickle cell with declining donor cells
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether repeating a stem cell transplant can help people with sickle cell disease (SCD) whose donor cells are no longer holding strong. It may help restore healthier blood cell production and reduce symptoms such as pain crises and severe anemia.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–80 - NCT03937817Recruiting
Donate samples to study globin gene variants
This study collects common body samples to learn how different globin gene variants work and how they relate to health. Your samples may also be used later for new research, including genetic testing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT00047996Enrolling by invitation
Blood Donation Study for Blood Vessel Research
This study collects blood and urine samples from adults to help researchers understand diseases affecting blood vessels. Your donation helps scientists develop better treatments.

What taking part in a sickle cell anemia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there sickle cell anemia clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting sickle cell anemia studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a sickle cell anemia study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a sickle cell anemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New sickle cell anemia studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
