Ovarian health in young women with sickle cell disease
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how sickle cell disease might affect the ovaries (the organs that store eggs) in girls and young women. It compares participants with sickle cell disease to healthy females of similar age and background.

This study collects feedback through surveys, interviews, and focus groups from people affected by sickle cell disease. Your input helps the research team improve how genomic and gene-therapy information and needs are understood for patients and caregivers.
This trial uses gene editing to fix your own blood stem cells, so you can stop having severe sickle cell crises. It is for young adults with frequent pain episodes or who need regular blood transfusions.
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 asks adults with sickle cell disease about what they eat and their eating routines. The goal is to understand diet patterns in sickle cell and how they may relate to health, which could help future care and guidance.
This study collects blood and urine samples from adults to help researchers understand diseases affecting blood vessels. Your donation helps scientists develop better treatments.
This study compares the health status and quality of life of people with sickle cell disease who had a stem cell transplant from a brother or sister, between 2000 and 2012, with people who did not have the transplant. The goal is to understand how the transplant affects long-term well-being.
