Study summary

This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm observational non-interventional study (NIS), which will be conducted in various countries in the Middle East and India.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to collect information on the utilization and effectiveness of crizanlizumab treatment in SCD patients under routine clinical practice conditions, to which the physician has made an independent decision to prescribe crizanlizumab.

Study population

patients with SCD initiated on treatment with commercially available crizanlizumab at sites

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Male and female patients with clinical diagnosis of SCD (based on laboratory parameters) of any genotype.
  2. Patients newly initiated on treatment with locally approved crizanlizumab.
  3. Patients aged 16 years or older at crizanlizumab initiation.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who did not provide .
  2. Patients who received a stem cell transplant at time of enrollment.
  3. Patients who participated in or are participating in a clinical trial at time of enrollment or in the 12 months prior to starting commercial crizanlizumab.
  4. According to the investigator's opinion, the patient is an unlikely candidate to provide an accurate medical history and/or to obtain long-term follow-up information for any reasons such as unavailability or severe concomitant illnesses.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Annualized rate of healthcare visit and home-managed (VOCs) requiring a medical facility visit

    The annualized rate of VOCs is defined as the total number of pain crises for a patient occurring from the date of initial infusion with crizanlizumab (commercially available) to the last contact date of the study end date × 365 divided by the number of days during that same time period. This calculation accounts for early dropouts or lost to follow-up by extrapolating the VOC rate of every patient to 1 year.

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Type of opioids for pain management of healthcare visit and home-managed (VOCs) within the medical facility and at home.
