Active clinical trials for "Anemia"

Iron deficiency and altered homeostasis due to inflammation and decreased iron utilization are main factors involved in anemia in liver disease. Lactoferrin is a first line defence protein for protection against microbial infections and subsequent development of systemic disease as seen with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. Lactoferrin with iron has been shown to be efficacious with anemia in chronic disease, in pregnancy and in cancer patients with fewer side effects than oral iron alone. High exposure to iron is associated with increased inflammation which is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes. Lactoferrin can help reduce the total iron dose and hepatic inflammation.

This is a phase II pilot study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of danazol for treatment of cytopenias in patients with CPC A/B cirrhosis. Subjects with or without telomere mutations and/or shortened telomeres will be treated with danazol 600 mg per day by mouth for a duration of 24 months. The goal will be to treat a total of 10 patients.

This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter, study in male and female pediatric subjects (2 years to <18 years of age) with IDA, or felt by their clinician to be at risk of developing IDA. This study allows for enrollment of subjects with IDA regardless of etiology, except for CKD subjects (pediatric CKD subjects are being studied in a separate ferumoxytol protocol).

Background: CTLA4 stands for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4. It is a protein the body makes naturally to check its immune system from attacking itself. Some people don t produce enough CTLA4 protein, causing problems due to overactive immune system such as big spleens, repeated lung infections, breathing problems, stomach and intestine symptoms as well as inflamed brain and nerve problems. Many have problems with their bone marrow causing low numbers of blood cells like platelets, red blood cells or white blood cells, which is called cytopenia. Researchers want to see if the drug abatacept can treat cytopenias by replacing the missing protein CTLA4. Objective: To see if abatacept is safe and helps treat cytopenias caused by CTLA4 deficiency. Eligibility: People ages 8-65 years who have CTLA4 deficiency with cytopenia Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, medication review, physical exam and blood and urine tests. They will continue their current medications and may start taking antibiotics daily. Participants will receive either abatacept or placebo through a vein for 6 months. The study team will not know if you are receiving the study drug or the placebo Women who can become pregnant must agree to use birth control measures. Men who get someone pregnant during the study will be asked to collect information and have the partner contact the study team. Participants will undergo the following procedures before starting the study and at the completion: radiology scans of body and brain heart and lung function tests Bone marrow examination by a needle inserted into the hip bone to remove a small amount of tissue to study. Participants may have a small camera on a long, thin tool passed down the throat into the stomach and small intestine for evaluation of their gut. Questionnaires about their disease, symptoms and quality of life Over 6 months, participants will have regular study visits and get 8 doses of the study drug or a placebo by intravenous injection. They will repeat some of the same tests done earlier at the end of the study at assess response. About 1 month after the last study drug visit, participants will have a final study visit. Some participants may join a treatment extension for the study drug abatacept with no placebo. They will sign a separate consent form for this.

This will be a randomised control trial designed to test the effectiveness of lactoferrin in the management of treatment-induced anemia in patients with hematological malignancies.

Primary Objectives: To evaluate the safety (compared to iron sucrose) and efficacy of ferumoxytol in pediatric CKD subjects with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) or who are at risk of development of IDA Secondary Objective: To determine the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profile of ferumoxytol in pediatric subjects.

This study was a single-arm, multicenter, phase Π clinical study. Patients admitted to the enrollment unit center with a confirmed diagnosis of TDNSAA/VSAA/SAA, treated with IST (p/r-ATG+CSA) in combination with TPO-RA (including eltrombopta or hydtrombopta) for at least 3 months with no hematologic response at 6-month follow-up, and who were not suitable or unwilling to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), were to another novel TPO-RA avatrombopta, 40-60 mg (weight <80 kg), in addition to maintaining the original immunosuppressive therapy ( CSA or equivalent immune potency drugs), switch to another new TPO-RA avatropa 40-60 mg (40 mg daily for weight <80 kg; 60 mg daily for weight >80 kg) orally once daily for at least 3 months and follow up for 3 months to determine the hematologic response and to assess the safety of the drug

Objectives 2.1 Primary objectives 1) To observe and compare incidence and severity of aGVHD and cGVHD between the two arms within 2 years after transplantation. 2) To observe and compare the engraftment rate between the two arms. 3) To observe and compare the incidence of infections between the two arms. 2.2 Secondary objectives To conduct pharmacogenomic assay in CD20 arm(treatment arm) before conditioning and monitor plasma concentration of CD20 dynamically（7d、14d、28d、56d、91d）. To monitor levels of B cells in peripheral blood dynamically (+90d、+180d、+270d、+360d、+450d、+540d、+630d、+720d) in all patients. To observe and compare the incidence of PTLD between the two arms. To observe and compare immunoglobulin levels after transplantation in all patients. To evaluate transplant-related mortality. To evaluate the effect on hematopoietic reconstruction.

Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA) is a rare condition in which the body stops producing enough new blood cells. SAA can be cured with immune suppressive therapy or a bone marrow transplant. Regular treatment for patients with aplastic anemia who have a matched sibling (brother or sister), or family donor is a bone marrow transplant. Patients without a matched family donor normally are treated with immune suppressive therapy (IST). Match unrelated donor (URD) bone marrow transplant (BMT) is used as a secondary treatment in patients who did not get better with IST, had their disease come back, or a new worse disease replaced it (like leukemia). This trial will compare time from randomization to failure of treatment or death from any cause of IST versus URD BMT when used as initial therapy to treat SAA. The trial will also assess whether health-related quality of life and early markers of fertility differ between those randomized to URD BMT or IST, as well as assess the presence of marrow failure-related genes and presence of gene mutations associated with MDS or leukemia and the change in gene signatures after treatment in both study arms. This study treatment does not include any investigational drugs. The medicines and procedures in this study are standard for treatment of SAA.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of low-dose vitamin C on improving the quality of life for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients receiving gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy.
