Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- 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.
Greenville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05477563RecruitingPhase 3
One-time gene therapy for severe sickle cell and transfusion anemia
This trial tests a single dose of gene therapy (CTX001) to improve outcomes for people with severe sickle cell disease or transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. It aims to see how well it works and whether it is safe, especially after a planned stem cell transplant process.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 12–35 - NCT06941389Recruiting
Comparing stem cell transplant vs standard therapy for sickle cell disease
This study compares two treatment approaches for children with sickle cell anemia: a stem cell transplant from a matched family donor versus continuing regular disease-modifying medicines. It aims to see which treatment works better over time.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 3–20 - NCT04208529Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term follow-up after receiving CTX001 infusion
This study follows people for a long time after they received CTX001 in an earlier (parent) study. It helps researchers learn about long-term safety and outcomes of the treatment.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 2 years+ - 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.

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 North Carolina?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting sickle cell anemia studies with a site in North Carolina, 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 North Carolina?
- 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 North Carolina to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in North Carolina, 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.
