ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Lipid Balance in Adult Sickle Cell Patients," is studying how fat levels in the blood (lipid profiles) relate to complications of sickle cell disease in adults living in the French Caribbean. The researchers want to understand how these lipid levels change during and after serious events, like painful crises, and how they might differ from person to person over four years. They will also look at genetic factors that might influence these complications and measure things like insulin resistance and certain fat levels in the blood.

To be eligible for this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and diagnosed with either sickle cell anemia or SC sickle cell disease. You should live in Guadeloupe or Martinique and have been stable without any acute complications for the past month. If you choose to participate, you will help researchers gather important information that could improve understanding and treatment of sickle cell disease. It’s important to know that the study is currently recruiting participants, and you will need to provide consent after learning about the study in detail.
