Blood Sampling for Research Related to Sickle Cell Disease

This study will collect representative blood samples from healthy children and adults and from children and adults who have unique red blood cell features that are related to sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease is a blood disease that limits the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00542230 · National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) · enrollment listed as 250

They plan to enroll about 250 people at Bethesda. Taking part typically means study visits and measurements plus check-ins.

Official title (unrewritten)

High Sensitivity Screening of Compound Libraries to Discover a Drug for the Treatment of Sickle Cell Disease
