The Mount Sinai Health System has received a $12,180,625 grant from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute to compare new treatment options for sickle cell disease and determine which work best for specific patients.
Sickle cell traditionally has been a neglected disease, but it benefited from a flurry of innovation over the last decade and there are now three new medications approved for the disease." "While this is welcome news, clinicians now have a new challenge. No studies have compared the drugs to each other or looked at their use in combination, so there's very little information to help decide which of the new drugs are best for which patients.
"We hope to accomplish a century worth of research in a single grant cycle," Dr. Glassberg says. "Patients need answers now."
