Active clinical trials for "Anemia, Hemolytic"

There is a deficiency in guidelines about the treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), especially in refractory cases. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) showed promising results in those patients but still, the data available are in form of case reports. So, investigators will investigate the efficiency of MMF against a well-established treatment Rituximab in the treatment of refractory autoimmune hemolytic anemia in SLE patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Levamisole plus prednisone can further improve the efficacy，extend the remission duration and reduce the dosage of prednisone for newly diagnosed warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether there is prompt engraftment after autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation using filgrastim (G-CSF) mobilization in patients with life threatening autoimmune diseases. II. Determine the kinetics of T- and B-cell immune reconstitution after a combination of timed plasmapheresis, high dose cyclophosphamide and total lymphoid irradiation, and posttransplant immunosuppression with cyclosporine in these patients. III. Determine whether this treatment regimen beneficially influences the clinical course of these patients.

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of using Ferumoxytol as a contrast agent on a low field strength, portable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. Participants receiving Ferumoxytol as part of routine clinical care for iron deficiency anemia will be recruited and scanned on the Hyperfine MRI system before and after their clinically scheduled intravenous infusion. Resultant images will be compared to assess signal intensity changes generated by the presence of Feromoxytol.

In France, a national prospective cohort for monitoring children and adolescents with autoimmune cytopenia OBS'CEREVANCE is in place since 2004. It is coordinated in Bordeaux by the Center's team. Reference Rare Diseases CEREVANCE. It has been validated by the French Data Protection Authority in 2009 (information note and written consent). It had mid 2013 more of 900 patients, and the data collected make it possible to study intentionally to treat the therapeutic management of patients with Chronic Immune-Thrombocytopenic Purpura, from Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, or from EVANS syndrome. This study evaluates efficacy and tolerance at 6 months of treatment immunomodulators prescribed in France in real conditions of use, in children and adolescents under the age of 18, for a Chronic Immune-Thrombocytopenic Purpura, an Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia or a simultaneous EVANS syndrome.

This study aims to study prospectively the clinical and paraclinical evolution and prognostic factors of autoimmune haemolytic anemias, Evans syndromes and chronic immunological thrombocytopenic purpura of children in France.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is characterized by shortened red blood cell survival and a positive Coombs test. The responsible autoantibodies may be either warm reactive or cold reactive. The rate of hemolysis and the severity of the anemia may vary from mild to severe and life-threatening. Diagnosis is made in the laboratory by the findings of anemia, reticulocytosis, a positive Coombs test, and specific serologic tests. The prognosis is generally good but renal failure and death sometimes occur, especially in cases mediated by drugs.

This open-label, non-randomized, retrospective-prospective, non-interventional study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Mircera in patients with stage III-IV chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on dialysis. Patients will receive open-label treatment with Mircera for 12 months at a dose to be determined by the investigator.

The primary objective of this study is to understand and characterize the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and disease burden of adult participants with PK deficiency receiving routine clinical care. This study is an observational (i.e., noninterventional), longitudinal, multicenter, global registry for participants with PK deficiency, a rare nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. This study will be open for enrollment for 2 years and all enrolled participants will be followed prospectively for up to 96 weeks. Data will be collected from participants who have provided informed consent and authorization pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

The aim of this study is to evaluate development of hemolysis and the variation in isokinetic muscle strength in two groups of patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) or multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) Patients shifted from 3- or 6-weekly treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to weekly treatment with subcutanoeus immunoglobulin (SCIG) Patients shifted from SCIG treatment with Subcuvia® or Hizentra® to Gammanorm®. Hypotheses During treatment with IVIG blood hemoglobin will fluctuate with a decline due to infusion, whereas it will remain stable during SCIG treatment without fluctuation Isokinetic muscle strength in affected muscle groups is more stable during treatment with SCIG than with IVIG Blood hemoglobin and changes in muscle strength is comparable during Subcuvia® or Hizentra® and Gammanorm® treatment
