Learning About Health in People With Sickle Cell Trait
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study is for adults who have or might have sickle cell trait (carrying the sickle cell gene but not the disease). It aims to understand the health effects of sickle cell trait over time by following participants and collecting health information.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must know or suspect you have sickle cell trait (or be willing to get tested to confirm).
- You must be willing to sign a consent form to join the study.
- You cannot have sickle cell disease (like sickle cell anemia or sickle beta-thalassemia).
- You cannot have severe kidney disease (end-stage) or be on dialysis.

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.
This study collects kidney tissue samples from people with sickle cell disease and healthy volunteers to better understand how sickle cell affects the kidneys. If you have sickle cell disease or a related blood disorder, you may help researchers find new ways to protect kidney function.
This study looks at how carrying the sickle cell trait (not the disease) affects bone density, physical function, and frailty in older African American women. It aims to help understand bone loss risk and prevent fractures.
This study helps connect adults with sickle cell disease who haven't seen a specialist in over a year back into care. It tests a program designed to make it easier to get regular medical support and improve your health.
This trial tests an investigational drug called DISC-3405 in people with sickle cell disease (SCD) to see if it is safe and how it affects your body. It may be an option if you have certain SCD complications or lab results.
This study looks at how different types of sickle cell disease (SS, S/beta0, S/C) are linked to blood clotting and disease severity. It may help doctors better understand the condition and how to treat it.
