Alternative Dosing And Prevention of Transfusions (ADAPT):
A prospective study to reduce transfusion requirements for children with sickle cell anemia using pharmacokinetics-based hydroxyurea dosing
REFNo: HS2093ES
Primary Objective
• To compare the rates of blood transfusions overall and by specific indications in children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA), prior to and during hydroxyurea treatment
Secondary Objectives
• To determine clinical and laboratory factors associated with reduction in blood transfusions for children with SCA on hydroxyurea treatment
• To assess the feasibility and safety of a pharmacokinetic (PK)-based hydroxyurea dose within the predicted treatment range for Uganda
• To quantify rates of SCA-related complications (including stroke, sepsis, and pain) in participants receiving PK-guided hydroxyurea dosing and within the overall cohort on hydroxyurea treatment

Changing the game: The dynamics of the commercialisation of football in Eastern Africa
REFNo: SS1246ES
This project is a comparative study of the ongoing and intensifying dynamics of commercialisation of football in East Africa. The aim is to empirically investigate and map the major drivers, characteristics and repercussions (also in terms of development of football, i.e. professionalism, performance, club management, fan experience, popularity etc.) of the commercialisation in two countries: Kenya and Uganda. It aims to capture stakeholders’ experiences, insights and views concerning commercialisation of football. The overall question is: what changes are triggered by the commercialisation of local football? I will talk to various stakeholders and gain some insights into developments at different clubs and commercial developments in Kampala/the country. These case studies will allow me to explore the dynamics of introducing cutting-edge commercial models in sports leagues on a continent that has had – compared to other regions – relatively low levels of commercialisation until recently. This will enable a better understanding of commercialisation-in-practice – and respective similarities and differences across the two sites - in a key football region in the Global South. The findings will inform relevant public/policy debates in the two countries, the region generally and beyond (e.g. at global level) regarding various aspects of the commercialisation of soccer. The study will contribute to the relatively nascent literature on commercialization in Africa generally. It will also draw lessons regarding commercialisation processes and issues that might be applicable to other countries in Africa and beyond.
