Active clinical trials for "Anemia"

Previous studies have shown that perioperative intravenous iron has a beneficial effect on patients with perioperative anaemia. To assess whether a combined iron supplementation regimen can reduce perioperative allogeneic blood transfusions in patients with iron deficiency anaemia undergoing major cardiac surgery under haemodynamic anaesthesia, a multicentre randomised clinical trial (CIPAT study) will be conducted. In the CIPAT study, patients undergoing elective major cardiac surgery under general anaesthesia will be randomly allocated to a control group and a combined iron supplementation group. Patients in the combined iron supplementation group will receive a combination iron supplementation regimen of iron sucrose in combination with Human Erythropoietin and vitamin C three times in the week prior to surgery, while patients in the control group will receive the same dose of placebo three times in the week prior to surgery. The primary endpoint is the volume of allogeneic erythrocyte infusion from the start of surgery to 5 days postoperatively. It is hypothesised that patients in the combined iron supplementation group will have fewer perioperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusions than those in the control group.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of ianalumab compared to placebo in patients with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, who failed at least one line of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of etavopivat (FT-4202) for the treatment of anemia in adult patients with very low risk, low risk, or intermediate risk MDS.

This is a multicenter, single-arm clinical study. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CSA in combination with Avatrombopag in elderly patients with very/sever aplastic anemia treated for the first time. The design was: cyclosporine 3 mg/kg orally in two divided doses, with cyclosporine trough concentrations maintained at 200-250 ng/ml for 3 months to achieve maximum efficacy, and Avatrombopag, which was administered in two dose groups, 40 mg orally once daily and 60 mg orally once daily, for a total of 24 weeks. Forty patients are expected to be enrolled in each dose group, and a total of 80 patients are expected to be enrolled if both dose groups are conducted. Evaluation endpoint: OR rate at 24 weeks of treatment.

Double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter randomized trial in pregnant women in the U.S. (N=746) to test the central hypothesis that IV iron in pregnant women with moderate-to-severe IDA (Hb<10 g/dL and ferritin<30 ng/mL) at 24 - 28 weeks will be effective, safe and cost-effective in reducing severe maternal morbidity-as measured by peripartum blood transfusion-and will also improve offspring neurodevelopment.

This is an open-label, single institution study evaluating the efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose monotherapy in patients with thoracic, breast, GU and GI malignancies undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the goal of undergoing surgical resection.

This phase 1b/2a open-label study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of DISC-0974 as well as categorize the effects on anemia response in subjects with myelofibrosis and anemia.

Anemia is a worldwide problem with iron deficiency being the most common cause. When anemia occurs in pregnancy, it increases the risk of adverse maternal, fetal, and postnatal outcomes. Anemia rates are among the highest in South Asia, with a recent national survey indicating that over half of pregnant women in India are classified as anemic. For nearly 40 years, India's first-level treatment for anemia in pregnancy has been oral iron; however, side effects, poor adherence to tablet ingestion, and low therapeutic impact are among reasons to consider a new paradigm for treatment of pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Reducing Anemia in Pregnancy in India: the RAPIDIRON Trial is a 3-arm, randomized-controlled trial designed to assess if a single dose of an intravenous (IV) iron formulation, administered early in the second trimester of pregnancy for treatment of moderate IDA, will result in a greater proportion of participants in the IV iron arms achieving a normal hemoglobin concentration in the third trimester when compared to participants randomized to receive oral iron. This trial is also designed to test the hypothesis that the low birth weight (LBW) rate for participants randomized to the IV iron arms will be lower when compared to the LBW rate of those randomly assigned to the oral iron arm. The three arms include two IV iron arms (arm 1 - ferric carboxymaltose, arm 2 - iron isomaltoside, also known as ferric derisomaltose) and an active, comparator arm receiving oral iron, which is the standard of care. This study will be conducted in two states in India - Karnataka and Rajasthan. This study supports the overall goals of the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for pregnancy care; thus, all study participants will be followed according to the Ministry's antenatal care guidelines, and data will be collected through 42 days post-delivery. (see attached protocol for more detail)

This randomised double-blind, controlled phase IV trial will compare the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of preoperative IV iron with placebo in patients with anaemia before elective cardiac surgery.

Background: People with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) do not make enough red and white blood cells, and/or platelets. Their body's immune system stops the bone marrow from making these cells. The treatment cyclosporine leads to better blood counts. But when this treatment is stopped, the disease may return in 1 in 3 people. The drug sirolimus may help by suppressing the immune system. Objective: To evaluate and compare the usefulness of sirolimus in preventing aplastic anemia from returning after cyclosporine is stopped, compared with stopping cyclosporine alone. Eligibility: People ages 2 and older with SAA who: Have responded to immunosuppressive therapy that includes cyclosporine, and continue to take cyclosporine Are not taking drugs with hematologic effects Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Bone marrow biopsy: The area above the hipbone will be numbed. A thin needle will remove some bone marrow. Participants will be randomly assigned to a group. All will stop cyclosporine. Group 1 will take sirolimus by mouth at the same time each day for 3 months with close monitoring. Group 2 will not receive the study drug but will be monitored closely. Participants will have clinical tests for the first 3 months: Weekly blood test Monthly fasting blood test For group 1, measurements of sirolimus in the blood every 1 2 weeks Participants will have clinic visits at 3 months, 12 months, and annually for 5 years after the study starts. They may have another visit if their SAA returns. These will include: Blood and urine tests Bone marrow biopsy
