Sickle Cell Research Registry

Protocol Description

The purpose of this research registry is to collect information about patients with sickle cell disease and their treatments.

It will also help researchers identify and recruit patients who are eligible for participation in future studies directed at evaluating the safety and effectiveness of drugs, devices, or procedures.
