Initiation Of New Study To Help Children With Sickle Cell Anaemia

ugh red cells carrying fetal hemoglobin to reduce SCA symptoms.

The study will also compare the efficacy of daily at-home injections of Desferal with the less painful and more convenient monthly removal of blood (phlebotomy) at a medical facility. Half of the children in SWiTCH will remain on the standard treatment (transfusions and chelator) while the other half will be treated with the alternative treatment (hydroxyurea and phlebotomy).

The study is supported by a grant of more than $18 million from the National Institutes of Health (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) and includes 20 major pediatric sickle cell centers.

SWiTCH holds promise for greatly simplifying and improving the long-term care of children with the disease who have suffered strokes and finally give a better way to enhance the lives of children who are fighting it hard against the disease.
