Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Sickle Cell Disease
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: serial functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Registration Number
NCT03458897
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this research is to determine if it is feasible to perform serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the amount of bone marrow cells (also called cellularity) and iron stores before and after bone marrow transplantation for severe sickle cell disease.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
MRI armserial functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)Subjects with sickle cell disease undergoing bone marrow transplantation will undergo serial functional MRI (up to 4 scans).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feasibility of obtaining serial scans in patients with sickle cell undergoing marrow transplant110 days post transplant

Feasibility will be measured by the number of subjects who undergo at least 2 of 4 scheduled functional MRI's

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
MRI and neutrophil engraftment1 year post transplant

Correlation between functional MRI result and time to neutrophil engraftment

MRI and hemoglobin S.1 year post transplant

Correlation between functional MRI result and hemoglobin S level.

MRI and chimerism1 year post transplant

Correlation between functional MRI result and time to donor/ recipient chimerism
