Active clinical trials for "Anemia"

For hemodialysis subjects currently receiving ESAs with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease, demonstrate non-inferiority of MT-6548 compared to darbepoetin alfa using Hb value and evaluate long-term safety of MT-6548.

The study aims to compare the efficacy and the safety of Lactoferrin versus ferrous sulphate for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.

The scope of this study is to compare the efficacy of the new oral formulation of Fe-ASP to oral ferrous sulfate in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) for the restoration of decreased circulating Hb. The improvement of symptoms of anemia, the restoration of biomarkers of iron deficiency into the normal range and the incidence of GI tract side effects are the study secondary endpoints.

A multi-center, randomized, controlled study to evaluate the effect of different doses of roxadustate on hemoglobin target-met in peritoneal dialysis patients

Anemia is a great public health problem affecting both developing and developed countries. Iron deficiency anemia represents about 50% of causes of anemia worldwide. Lactoferrin fortified milk has a positive effect on Hb and iron status of infants. the hypothesis of this study is "lactoferrin may have comparable efficacy to ferrous sulfate therapy with more tolerability and fewer side effects". the research question of this study is whether oral lactoferrin is effective for treatment of iron deficiency anemia, compared to traditional ferrous sulfate therapy regarding hemoglobin rise and side effects and tolerability.

Background: Anaemia in pregnancy is a public health burden with high incidence in Africa. Currently high dose oral iron is recommended for treatment of mild to moderate anaemia and blood transfusion for severe anaemia. The high dose oral iron is often poorly tolerated and associated with several side effects. Various parenteral iron preparations are now available for treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). The earliest of these, iron dextran is not commonly used because of its potential to cause anaphylactic reactions. Newer preparations have been found to be safer and their use for treatment of IDA is currently being evaluated. Objective: This study sought out to compare the effectiveness of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (intervention) versus oral ferrous sulphate (control) for treating IDA in pregnancy and to compare the tolerability, safety and the cost-effectiveness of intravenous versus oral iron among pregnant Nigerian women with moderate and severe IDA at 20-32 weeks' gestation. Methodology: This study will be a hybrid Type 1 effectiveness-implementation design. 1056 eligible and consenting pregnant women with anaemia at 20 - 32 weeks gestation will be recruited. They will be randomized into either of 2 groups. Group A will have intravenous ferric carboxymaltose 20mg/kg to a maximum of 1000mg in 200mls of normal saline infusion over 15 - 20 minutes at enrolment. Group B will have oral ferrous sulphate 200mg (65mg elemental iron) thrice daily from enrolment till delivery. They will be followed up through delivery and until 6 weeks post partum. Their haemoglobin concentration, full blood count, serum ferritin and serum transferrin will be assayed at specific intervals using standard laboratory techniques. Depression will be assessed at each visit using Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale. Cost effectiveness analysis will also be done at each visit. The primary outcome measure will be incidence of maternal anaemia and rise in haemoglobin level. Secondary outcome measures will include safety and tolerability of trial drugs, severe maternal events, incidence of infant low birth weight and incidence of depression. Statistical analysis will be done using STATA version 16.0 statistical software (STATACorp, Texas, USA).

This study is a prospective, open and non-interventionalclinical study. It is planned to enroll 240 patients with iron deficiency anemia caused by uterine fibroids and adenomyosis in 4 centers of obstetrics and gynecology in China.All patients who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study received routine blood tests, serum ferritin, serum iron and total iron binding ability tests and clinical follow-up. All patients were given 15ml oral protein iron succinate solution (Fiapril) in the morning and evening each day.Blood routine examinations (Hb, reticulocytes, RBC, HCT), serum ferritin, serum iron and total iron binding ability were detected at the 1st, 4th, 8th and 12th weeks of the study to observe the change trend of their own indicators.Symptom self-assessment tables were collected to assess the improvement rate of clinical symptoms including dizziness, fatigue, chest tightness and palpitations, and to record the incidence of adverse reactions (mainly gastrointestinal reactions).

This study is a pilot, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the effect of the sickle cell medication voxelotor on exercise capacity, as measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in patients 12 years of age and older with sickle cell anemia (SCA).

To assess the safety and effectiveness of PBF-1681 for the treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in patients with Non-Dialysis Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease.

The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to determine whether LNP023 is efficacious and safe for the treatment in PNH through demonstration of superiority of LNP023 compared to anti-C5 antibody treatment in adult PNH patients presenting with residual anemia despite treatment with anti-C5 therapy
