DREPAMASSE Study - Evaluation of a Newborn Screening for Sickle Cell Disease by Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Completed
Conditions
Drepanocytosis
Sickle Cell Disease
Infant, Newborn, Disease
Registration Number
NCT03985501
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Three methods are actually used in newborn screening for sickle cell disease (SCD) in France: isoelectric focusing, high performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. New technologies are currently under development such as Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation - Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using the SpOtOn Diagnostics Reagent Kit available in United Kingdom only.

Zentech company (Liège, Belgium) is developing a package for SCD newborn screening using MS/MS technology. The main objective of the present study will be to compare this new technique with the technique actually used in the hospital center of Lille (sub-contractor for SCD newborn screening of Lyon) and the haemoglobin analysis to test its accuracy (sensitivity and specificity).
