New Hemolysis Parameters in Sickle Cell Disease (HEMODREP)

February 11, 2019 updated by: Queen Fabiola Children's University Hospital

Evaluation de la capacité Physique Sous Maximale au Moyen du Test de Marche de 6 Minutes Des Enfants et Adultes Jeunes Suivis Pour drépanocytose et Nouveaux paramètres d'hémolyse : Vers Une prédiction Des Complications Vasculaires ?

The 6-minute walk (6MWT) test is used in adults and children affected by a wide range of chronic diseases to evaluate their sub-maximal exercise capacity. It reflects the global response of various physiological systems (respiratory, cardio-vascular, neurologic, metabolic and musculosquelettic) in a situation simulating a daily life activity. In children with sickle cell disease, the 6MWT is correlated with a low level of hemoglobin, a low level of fetal hemoglobin and low red cell deformability. Our team previously reported that in a population of children with sickle cell disease, highly treated with hydroxyurea, the sole factor which was independently linked to the 6MWT was the presence of silence infarct.

As the cardio-vascular and cerebro-vascular injury in sickle cell disease are directly correlated with hemolysis, the investigators aim to evaluate a) the clinical relevance of endothelial and inflammation parameters and new hemolysis markers and b) if the presence of silent infarct and the 6MWT are correlated with this biological markers.

This cross-sectional study will include sickle cell disease patients regularly followed for more than 5 years at Hôpital Universitaire des Enfants Reine Fabiola, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU)-Brugmann, Centre Hospitalier Etterbeek-Ixelles, CHU Saint-Pierre, Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc (Bruxelles, Belgium). Inclusion criteria are: sickle cell disease (SS, Sbeta°, SC, Sbeta+), age range : 6 to 25 years, signed informed consent. Exclusion criteria are: transplanted patients, inability to perform the 6MWT (severe cognitive disability, femoral osteonecrosis with functional impairment), hospitalization and/ or transfusion in the last 3 months for acute event.

Demographic data and clinical data will be retrospectively recorded. Blood test and 6MWT will be performed in steady state. Studied analysis will be: coagulation factors, free hemoglobin, Pro-B type natriuretic peptide (Pro-BNP), High sensitivity C reactive protein (HS-CRP), Intercellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM), Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule (VCAM) and Selectins.

With this study, the investigators expect to validate new predictive markers for cardio-vascular or cerebrovascular injury and to identify patients at high risk to develop these complications.

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 25 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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
Correlation between new biological data and clinical phenotype
Time Frame: 2 years
The primary outcome of this study is to validate the relationship between these new biological markers and the clinical phenotype.
2 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
Correlation between new biological data and 6-minute walk test
Time Frame: 2 years
The secondary outcome is to confirm the correlation between the 6-minute walk test and the presence of silent infarct and to explore the relationship between these new markers and the 6-minute walk test.

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Anticipated)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 1, 2019

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
September 1, 2021

Study Completion (Anticipated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
