The SAFE study is a long-term research project that watches people with sickle cell anemia (SCA) over time. The main goal is to see how a medicine called hydroxyurea affects their growth, puberty, and ability to have children. A second goal is to see how hydroxyurea affects pregnancy outcomes, by comparing people who take the medicine to those who don't.
