Active clinical trials for "Anemia, Aplastic"

The study is aimed to find correlation between the assessment of cellularity according to trepanobiopsy data and the results of measuring MRI parameters.

This study's goal is to determine the frequency and severity of acute graft versus host disease, to evaluate incidence of primary and secondary graft rejection, to assess event free survival and overall survival, to determine the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment, to determine the time to immune reconstitution (including normalization of T, B and natural killer (NK) cell repertoire and Immunoglobulin G production), and to establish the incidence of infectious complications including bacterial, viral, fungal and atypical mycobacterial and other infections following CD34+ selection in children, adolescents and young adults receiving an allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant from a family member or unrelated adult donor for a non-malignant disease.

This is a phase II, open label, multi-center, intra-patient dose escalation study to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) after oral administration of eltrombopag in combination with immunosuppressive therapy in pediatric patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory severe aplastic anemia or recurrent aplastic anemia.

This is a prospective one arm study to explore the efficacy and safety of Hetrombopag in non-severe aplastic anemia. Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria would be recruited. Treatment of Hetrombopag would be started with 5mg/day. The dosage would be increased by 2.5mg/day every 2 weeks if the platelet count remains less than 20×10e9/L and reduced if the platelet count reaches over than 150×10e9/L. The maximum dosage is 15mg/day. All patients would receive treatment for at least 6 months except that the platelet <20×10e9/L at the dosage of 15mg/day for 4 weeks or the platelet ≥200×10e9/L at the dosage of 5mg/week for 2 weeks. The hematological response rate and safety will be recorded and compared at D15, 1month, 1.5month, 2month, 3month, 4month, 5month, 6month, 8month, 10month and 1year.

Background: Bone marrow failure diseases are rare. Much is known about the diseases at the time of diagnosis, but long-term data about the effects of the diseases and treatments are lacking. Researchers want to better understand long-term outcomes in people with these diseases. Objective: To follow people diagnosed with acquired or inherited bone marrow failure disease and study the long-term effects of the disease and its treatments on organ function. Eligibility: People aged 2 years and older who have been diagnosed with acquired or inherited bone marrow failure or Telomere Biology Disorder. First degree family members may also be able to take part in the study. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They may have a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. For this, a large needle will be inserted in the hip through a small cut. Marrow will be drawn from the bone. A small piece of bone may be removed. Participants may also be screened with some of the following: Cheek swab or hair follicle sample Skin biopsy Urine or saliva sample Evaluation by disease specialists (e.g., lung, liver, heart) Imaging scan of the chest Liver ultrasounds Six-Minute Walk Test Lung function test Participants will be put into groups based on their disease. They will have visits every 1 to 3 years. At visits, they may repeat some screening tests. They may fill out yearly surveys about their medicines, transfusions, pregnancy, bleeding, and so on. They may have other specialized procedures, such as imaging scans and ultrasounds. Participation will last for up to 20 years. ...

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare bone marrow failure disease characterized by bone marrow hypocellularity and peripheral blood pancytopenia. AA is divided into severe AA (SAA) and non-severe AA (NSAA) based on the degree of cytopenia. The first line therapy for SAA or transfusion dependent NSAA is either immunosuppression therapy (IST) or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Little attention has been paid to patients with anemia but not transfusion dependent, whose quality of life is significantly impaired due to the anemia and other complications.

Patients with medical conditions requiring allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) are at risk of developing a condition called graft versus host disease (GvHD) which carries a high morbidity and mortality. This is a phase I/II study that will test the safety and efficacy of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with ex-vivo T cell receptor Alpha/Beta+ and CD19 depletion to treat patients' underlying condition. This process is expected to substantially decrease the risk of GvHD thus allowing for the elimination of immunosuppressive therapy post-transplant. The study will use blood stem/progenitor cells collected from the peripheral blood of parent or other half-matched (haploidentical) family member donor. The procedure will be performed using CliniMACS® TCRα/β-Biotin System which is considered investigational.

Background: Immune bone marrow failure is a condition that occurs when a person s immune system attacks the cells of the bone marrow. This can lead to diseases including different types of anemias and blood cancers. Some of these diseases can be deadly. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a drug (ruxolitinib) in people with different types of immune bone marrow failure. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with an immune bone marrow failure. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam. They will give samples of blood and saliva. They will have a bone marrow biopsy: A large needle will be inserted into a small cut to remove a sample of the soft tissue inside the bone. Some participants may have a skin biopsy: A small piece of skin will be removed. Some may have a computed tomography (CT) scan: They will lie on a table that slides into a donut-shaped machine that uses X-rays to make pictures of the inside of the body. Ruxolitinib is a tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take the drug twice a day for up to 6 months. Participants will have blood tests every week while they are taking the drug. These tests can be done by the participant s own physician and the results sent to the researchers. Participants will have clinic visits after taking the drug for 3 months and 6 months and then after 1, 2, and 3 years. The blood tests and bone marrow biopsy will be repeated. Participants who improve while taking the drugs may go on to an extension phase of the study.

For elderly patients who cannot tolerate anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) treatment, the addition of avatrombopag (AVA), which has a slight adverse reaction, can theoretically improve the hematological response rate in elderly patients with non-severe aplastic anemia (NSAA) without significantly increasing adverse reactions. Based on this, this study treated NSAA patients older than 60 with AVA combined with CsA to evaluate the hematological response rate and safety of AVA in the elderly who could not tolerate ATG therapy.

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a group of clinical syndromes. Treatment options are very limited. The results of a previous clinical study showed good efficacy and a high safety profile of herombopag in improving thrombocytopenia, but this result needs to be supported by more data. In our study, patients who were willing to participate in this study and were diagnosed with transfusion-dependent non-heavy aplastic anemia were randomized to the rhTPO combined with herombopag + cyclosporine group and given rhTPO (at a dose of 1500 U by subcutaneous injection once daily for 7 d, 28 d for 3 courses) +Herombopag(10 mg/day for 3 months) + cyclosporine (3-5 mg/kg/d for 3 months). -5 mg/kg/d for at least 6 months) and herombopag + cyclosporine (10 mg/day for 3 months) + cyclosporine (3-5 mg/kg/d for at least 6 months) in the herombopag+ cyclosporine group to observe the efficacy and safety.
