American Society of Hematology to launch sickle cell disease clinical trials network
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) is launching a sickle cell disease (SCD) clinical trials network in order to accelerate the development of new therapies for a patient community that has very few treatments and curative options.
The core activities of the network will include matching clinical trial sponsors with research sites, facilitating patient recruitment, and improving the efficiency of clinical trials by advising on optimal trial design and ensuring a coordinated approach across the network. The first study is expected to be initiated in the fall of 2019.
The network will be led by Charles “Chuck” Chesson, PhD, who was named as director in July of 2018. Dr. Chesson comes to ASH after nearly two decades at the public health research organization Social and Scientific Systems, where he most recently served as Group Vice President, Clinical Research and Bioscience.
