Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

As part of routine care for SCD, some people are found to have low oxygen levels (≤ 88%) while sleeping, at rest, or with exercise. Testing is done with a small portable device positioned on the finger that measures oxygen levels during sleep, at rest, or following exercise. The investigators start oxygen treatment for people with low levels of oxygen. As a part of this study, the investigators will find out if any changes in cell "stickiness" occur with low oxygen levels (at rest, at night, or with exertion) and if cells become "less sticky" with oxygen treatment. Study subjects will be seen before testing and 2 months after testing. In some cases (people with low oxygen levels during testing), study subjects will have been prescribed oxygen, and the investigators will test the effects of that treatment on the stickiness of red cells.

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a findmyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
