Learning More about Sickle Cell Disease and Treatments through Clinical Research

The University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center’s Adult Sickle Cell Disease team provides advanced medical care and participates in local and national research projects on sickle cell disease. Our fellowship-trained, board-certified specialists understand the challenges for people with sickle cell disease and strive to offer patients a variety of treatments and therapies including clinical trial studies.

Patients in the Adult Sickle Cell Disease Clinic have been very interested in participating in local and national studies. Investigators from University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have developed these studies together, or are collaborating with investigators at other centers across the nation.

These studies are only possible because of the interest and enthusiasm of people with sickle cell disease in seeking to understand how their disease works and how we can make it better.
