Evaluation of the Efficacy of Iloprost in the Management of Vaso-occlusive Crises in Adult Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

Prior treatment

• Participation in another drug trial within previous month.

Other illness

• Patient presenting with hepatic impairment or renal impairment requiring dialysis
• History of documented opioid dependence

Lab values

• Patients with a contraindication to iloprost (ILOPROST ZENTIVA 100 micrograms/mL, solution for dilution for infusion):
  • pregnancy, breastfeeding
  • Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
  • Conditions where the risk of bleeding may be increased due to the effects of iloprost on platelets (e.g., active peptic ulcer, trauma, intracranial hemorrhage).
  • severe coronary disease
  • recent MI \<6 months
  • heart failure NYHA II-IV
  • severe arrhythmias
  • suspicion of pulmonary congestion
• Patient presenting with a contraindication to 5% glucose (Glucose 5%
  • FRESENIUS KABI France solution for infusion):
  • Hypersensitivity to corn
  • Uncontrolled hyperglycemia,
  • Decompensated diabetes,
  • Other known glucose intolerances (e.g. situations of metabolic stress, acute shock states, collapse),
  • Hyperosmolar coma,
  • Hyperlactatemia,
  • Metabolic acidosis,
  • Fluid overload. The administration of high volumes may in particular result, due to fluid overload, in the following contraindications:
  • Hyperhydration
  • Acute heart failure
  • Pulmonary edema
• Hypersensitivity to 5% glucose

Other

• Active smoking
• Severe malnutrition
• Thiamine deficiency in chronic alcoholic patients
• Patient presenting with arterial hypotension
• Patient having experienced a cerebrovascular event within the last 3 months
• Individuals deprived of liberty or under legal protection.
• Patient included in PROSTASICKLE within last 90 days.

• Patients with major sickle cell syndrome (all genotypes). 2. Age ≥18 years 3. Require hospitalization and IV opioids for VOC treatment. 4. Admitted less than 36 hours before inclusion; H0 = hospital admission time. 5. Have read and signed informed consent. 6. For women:
• Of childbearing potential (defined by the CTCG as a fertile woman, after menarche and until menopause, except in cases of permanent sterility, including hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy);
  • Using a highly effective method of contraception according to CTCG recommendations (combined hormonal contraception \[containing estrogens and progestogens\] associated with inhibition of ovulation, progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner, sexual abstinence) for at least 4 weeks prior to inclusion and throughout the entire duration of systemic exposure to the study treatment. AND
  • Having a negative urine pregnancy test at inclusion;
• Postmenopausal: Menopause, according to CTCG recommendations, is defined as the absence of menstruation for 12 months without any other medical cause. Elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the postmenopausal interval can be used to confirm postmenopausal status in women who are not using hormonal contraception or hormone replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient.
