Brief Summary

Although the survival of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) has dramatically improved over the last decades in the US and Europe, mortality remains high in adults. Moreover, many children and most adults develop a chronic debilitating condition due to organ damage. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is currently the unique curative approach; it allows the cure of more than 95% of children transplanted from a matched related donor (MRD) after a myeloablative conditioning regimen.To date, few studies have addressed the role of HSCT in SCD adults, due to the risk of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and to the toxicity expected in older patients with a higher risk of organ damage. The development of safe, non-myeloablative conditioning regimens that allow stable mixed chimerism and avoid GVHD appears as an attractive option for HSCT to cure adults with severe SCD. The investigators design a prospective multicenter trial targeting patients over 15 years with severe SCD, and compare non-myeloablative transplant (when a matched related donor (MRD) is identified) versus no HSCT (for patients lacking MRD). The main objective is to assess the benefit of HSCT on the 2-year event free survival compared to standard care. The primary endpoint is the 2-year event free survival.

Quality of life evaluated using MOS SF36 questionnaire (Medical Outcomes Study - 36-Item Short Form Health Survey). SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting. Items are grouped into three categories: functional status, well-being, overall health assessment. In two dimensions, the answer is binary (yes / no) and in the other 6 in ordinal quality (3 to 6 possible answers). For each dimension, the scores for the different items are coded and then summed and transformed linearly on a scale ranging from 0 to 100. A physical composite score and a mental composite score can be calculated according to an established algorithm

Depression and Anxiety statusat 12 months

Depression and anxiety will be assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. The HAD scale is a self-assessment scale for detecting states of depression and anxiety in the setting of an hospital medical outpatient clinic.

HADS is a self-administered scale of 14 items which assessed levels of depression and anxiety, divided into 2 subscales of 7 items (Anxiety or HADS-A, Depression or HADS-D). Each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3. A score is generated for each of the two sub-scales (sum of the 7 items, ranging from 0 to 21). Limit scores, for each of the scores, distinguish: non-cases or asymptomatic ones (score ≤ 7); probable or borderline cases (score 8-10); clearly or clinically symptomatic cases (score ≥ 11).
