Sickle Cell Anemia and Cerebral Microcirculation : Multimodal Exploration (DREAM²)

November 12, 2018 updated by: Imagine Institute

Determinants of Cerebral Oxygenation and Perfusion in SCA Children Based on Combined ASL MRI, NIRS and Hemorheological Investigation

The aim of this study is to evaluate determinants of cerebral oxygenation and perfusion at the microcirculatory level in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) using combined novel investigational tools: Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) perfusion MR (Magnetic Resonnance) imaging, brain Near Infra-Red Spectroscopy (NIRS) and red blood cell (RBC) rheological properties.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The investigators hypothesize that brain perfusion and/or oxygenation modifications may be evidenced in SCA children who have no microarteriopathy and may correlate with hemorheological abnormalities and impaired vasomotion. A multimodal approach designed to study a. cerebral perfusion and oxygenation, b. flow motion properties and c. blood rheological parameters might help to describe the different processes involved in cerebral ischemia.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

6 years to 16 years (CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of patients on which we detect default of cerebral perfusion (in order to correlate them with other clinical or biological parameters)
Time Frame: 1.5 years
ASL sequence (duration 4 min) : Regional brain tissue perfusion (expressed in mL/min/100g of tissue) will be measured in different lobes in both hemispheres and in the cerebellum. Pattern of perfusion will be analysed and measured.
1.5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Bifrontal cerebral hemoglobin oxygen saturation
Time Frame: 1.5 years
Bifrontal cerebral hemoglobin oxygen saturation monitored by NIRS (15 min). Spectral analyses (Fourrier transform) will be used to analyze the brain microvascular oxygen variability and calculate the flowmotion and vasomotion activities.
1.5 years
Description of the global assessment of RBC deformability
Time Frame: 1.5 years
The description of the global assessment of RBC deformability will be done via a global association of several biological parameters : RBC deformability at several shear stresses by ektacytometry, RBC aggregation properties by syllectometry and blood viscosity by cone-plate viscosimetry. Measurements will be made according to the international guidelines for standardisation in hemorheology and within 4/5 hrs of sampling
