LCI-HEM-SCD-ST3P-UP-001: A Comparative Effectiveness Study of Peer Mentoring [PM] Versus Structured Transition Education Based Intervention [STE] for the Management of Care Transitions in Emerging Adults With Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)

This multi-center study will compare the effectiveness of adding virtual peer mentoring (PM)
to a structured education-based (STE) transition program for emerging adults with sickle cell
disease to determine its effect on decreasing the number of acute care visits per year,
improving patient-reported outcomes, and reducing healthcare utilization among emerging
adults with sickle cell disease (EA-SCD)

This is a multi-center, cluster randomized study comparing the effectiveness of adding
virtual peer mentoring (PM) to a structured education-based (STE) transition program based on
the 6 core elements of transition in improving acute care reliance, quality of life and
satisfaction with transition process in emerging adults with sickle cell disease (EA-SCD).
The study will involve a total of 14 large (>80 EA-SCD currently in pediatric care) and
small-scale (≤80 EA-SCD currently in pediatric care) clinical sites, with a 1:1 randomization
at the site level. The study will involve approximately 700 subjects, 120 peer mentors, and
25 advisors. The primary endpoint of this study will be the average number of acute care
visits per year over a minimum of 24 months. Secondary objectives are to compare the
effectiveness of STE+PM versus STE alone at improving patient-reported outcomes and reducing
healthcare utilization among EA-SCD. Enrollment is anticipated to occur over 18-24 months
