The investigators are conducting a Phase II prospective and placebo controlled study of a topical cream containing sodium nitrite compared to the current standard of care. Sodium nitrite is a local donor of nitric oxide, which is known to improve blood flow and decrease bacterial load in the ulcer bed. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety of topical sodium nitrite cream treatment in patients with sickle cell disease and chronic leg ulcers and to determine its effectiveness in accelerating the healing process and decreasing the pain associated with ulceration.
Potential benefit will be a durable resolution or improvement of the leg ulcer and its associated pain. Possible side effects include decreased blood pressure and methemoglobinemia, secondary to sodium nitrite absorption through the ulcerated skin.
Funding source FDA OOPD.
Chronic leg ulcers are a complication of many blood disorders such as sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other red blood cell disorders. In these disorders, red blood cells break down earlier than normal, which researchers suspect may cause or contribute to the development of leg ulcers; however, the exact cause is unknown, and current therapies are not very effective. Researchers are interested in determining if a research cream made with sodium nitrite, a substance that is known to increase blood flow by dilating blood vessels, may speed up the healing of skin ulcers.
Investigators are planning to enroll fifty patients with sickle cell disease to be randomized and treated twice a week with sodium nitrite cream or a placebo for ten weeks. The following events will be compared in treatment and placebo arms: a) changes in blood pressure; b) changes in pulse oximetry; c) changes in methemoglobin levels; d) any adverse events; e) rate of sickle cell disease (SCD) related complications; f) changes in biomarkers of inflammation and other laboratory data such as complete blood count and chemistries.
In order to determine if topical sodium nitrite accelerates wound healing and decreases pain at the wound site compared to placebo in patients receiving similar levels of wound care, investigators will a) accurately measure and photograph ulcers at baseline, after a two week run-in period and at predefined time points during the study and compare treatment arm to placebo; b) pain scores at wound sites will be recorded and compared for the two groups, c) Investigators will calculate opioid intake in the two arms and d) quality of life measures before and at the end of the trial

| Assessment of Tolerability (Methemoglobin Level) | Assessment of tolerability was determined by evaluating the change in methemoglobin level from baseline through the end of study at week 10. Samples were collected and Methemoglobin levels were measured by co-oximetry Results are summarized by study arm using basic descriptive statistics and expressed as a percentage of the total hemoglobin in the sample. | Baseline through last available measurement, up to 10 weeks |
| Change in Total Ulcerated Surface Area | Change in total ulcerated surface area from baseline was assessed through the last study visit at 10 weeks. Surface area measurements of the ulcer were obtained and photographed with defined lighting, distance, exposure, and camera type. Total ulcerated surface area measurements were obtained using digital planimetry and measuring the longest length and widest width of the ulcer(s). Results are summarized by study arm using basic descriptive statistics and reported in cm^2. Negative results are indicative of a reduction in group median total ulcerated surface area from baseline and positive results are indicative of an increase in group median total ulcerated surface area from baseline. | From Baseline through last study visit at 10 weeks |
| Change in Ulcer Pain | Change in Ulcer Pain from baseline through the last study visit at 10 weeks were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is a widely used tool to quantify subjective pain perception over time and in this study was used to determine the efficacy of the topical sodium nitrite. Participants were asked to mark a point on a line indicating the severity of their pain on a 0-10 scale, with "0" representing "No pain" and "10" representing the "Worst possible pain." A decrease in VAS score is indicative of a reduction in ulcer pain. Scores were summarized by study arm using basic descriptive statistics. | From Baseline through last study visit at 10 weeks |

Samples were collected and Methemoglobin levels were measured by co-oximetry. Study outcomes between participants with use of ("HU") and non-use of ("No HU") hydroxyurea are summarized as an increased or decreased percentage by study arm and analyzed using Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney statistical testing. |

26 patients (pts) were screened and 24 consented (one was consented twice as the IRB required a reconsent due to the time interval which had lapsed between the consent process and study initiation during COVID). Of the 24 unique pts, 2 were lost to follow up during the run-in period and 4 pts had a reduction in ulcer size by >25%, via normal wound care, during the run-in period and were not eligible for study-defined treatment and not enrolled into the study. As such, 18 pts were enrolled.

| Sickle Cell Genotype | Sickle cell genotype confirmation was confirmed by hemoglobin electrophoresis analysis at baseline or patient charts. Participants were categorized as either: HbSS: Homozygous sickle cell disease, considered the most severe form; HbSB+: Hemoglobin S-beta thalassemia, a compound heterozygous condition considered a milder form; HbSC: 2nd most common variant and a milder form; HbSD: a double heterozygous state of two mutant alleles; or HbS/O(Arab): a rare compound heterozygous variant The number/percentage of each genotype is summarized and reported by study arm. | Count of Participants | Participants |

| Methemoglobin Levels | Samples were collected and analyzed by co-oximetry to determine Methemoglobin (metHb) levels in order to exclude participants with congenital methemoglobinemia. Patients who had at least two documented metHb levels below the 3.5% threshold continued the study even if the meth Hb levels elevated above 3.5% during the weeks leading to the first application, as long as they remain below 4.5%.

| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain Intensity | The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to assess existing pain intensity prior to the initiation of treatment. The VAS is a pain intensity scale that uses a 10-centimeter (cm) line where 0 represents "No pain" and 10 represents "Worst possible pain." Participants were asked to mark current pain levels on the line and the distance from the "No pain" end of the line measured in cm was used to determine a VAS score. VAS scores were summarized by study arm/group using basic descriptive statistics. Higher scores were associated with greater overall pain intensity. | Mean | Standard Deviation | score on a scale |
