Active clinical trials for "Anemia"

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, and open-label, placebo-controlled phase II clinical study. In order to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of trappa ethanolamine tablets combined with ciclosporin in the treatment of patients with non-severe aplastic anemia.

Myelodysplastic syndromes, primarily affecting older adults, are a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis that manifest clinically as anemia, neutropenia, and/or thrombocytopenia of variable severity; these often result in RBC- transfusion dependent (TD) anemia, increased risk of infection, and/or hemorrhage, as well as a potential to progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Lenalidomide is approved for red blood cell transfusion-dependent (RBC TD) anemia due to low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with a chromosome 5q deletion (del5q) with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalities. About one third of patients are refractory/resistant/intolerant and will require further treatment options. Luspatercept (ACE-536), an erythroid maturation agent, is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of a modified form of the extracellular domain (ECD) of the human activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB) linked to the Fc portion of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1-Fc). Luspatercept acts on endogenous inhibitors of late-stage erythropoiesis (eg, growth differentiation factor 11, GDF11) to increase release of mature erythrocytes into circulation. Nonclinical data have demonstrated that luspatercept binds to negative regulators governing late-stage erythroid development to inhibit their action, thereby promoting the maturation of erythrocytes in the bone marrow. Luspatercept is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with transfusion-dependent anaemia associated with beta-thalassaemia and due to very low, low and intermediate-risk MDS with ring sideroblasts, who had an unsatisfactory response to or are ineligible for erythropoietin-based-therapy. It is not indicated for other MDS subtypes. Unfortunately, patients with MDS with del5q refractory/resistant/intolerant to lenalidomide are excluded from clinical trials that evaluate novel treatments for the anemia of RBC TD lower risk MDS. Therefore, treatment of anemia in such patients is an unmet need. QOL-ONE Phoenix is a Phase 2, multicenter, single arm, prospective study. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of luspatercept on RBC TI in subjects with MDS with del5q with IPSS-R very low, low, or intermediate risk and < 5% bone marrow blasts, resistant/refractory/intolerant to lenalidomide and who require RBC transfusions. The study is divided into a Screening Period, a 2-year Treatment Period and a 3-year Follow-up Period. Primary objective is to evaluate the effect of luspatercept on RBC TI (lack of transfusions for 8 consecutive weeks within the first 24 weeks) in subjects with MDS with del5q with IPSS-R very low, low, or intermediate risk and < 5% bone marrow blasts, resistant/refractory/intolerant to lenalidomide and RBC TD.

The purpose of the study is to explore the optimal dose and administration of the experimental drug, and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug in patients with renal anemia. Patients with renal anemia on regular dialysis treatment are expected to be enrolled in this study.

Preoperative anemia is detrimental in surgical patients, and its treatment with transfusions can further worsen outcomes, including increased hospital stay and mortality. Transfusions are also highly costly. In 2010, the World Health Organization endorsed the adoption of Patient Blood Management (PBM) programs, i.e., patient-centered multidisciplinary activities, including recognition and treatment of preoperative anemia. While the latter has been proved effective in reducing transfusions in setting like elective orthopedic surgery, widespread adoption is still lacking. Moreover, little is known about surgical oncology, a particular setting posing unique challenging. This change-promoting project attempts to fill this knowledge gap by establishing a multidisciplinary team aimed at optimal management of preoperative anemia in hepatobiliary/pancreas/gastrointestinal/renal surgical oncology. The primary endpoint is the reduction of transfusions, along with safer patient outcomes as compared to the historical series.

This Phase I study will determine the safety and optimal dose of expanded autologous Tregs to treat patients with Aplastic Anaemia (AA) (who have failed, or are considered ineligible for IST (immunosuppressive therapy) / other treatments) using expanded autologous T regulatory cells (Tregs) from AA patients at King's College Hospital, that have been prepared at the licensed Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) production facility at Guy's Hospital, London

A Clinical Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of CD19/BCMA Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in the Treatment of Refractory POEMS Syndrome, Amyloidosis, Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, and Vasculitis

The primary aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of IV Ferric Derisomaltose vs Oral Iron in the management of women with severe Iron Deficiency Anemia due to Uterine Bleeding in the emergency department.

Acute blood loss in orthopaedic trauma and operative fracture care contributes substantially to perioperative anemia, which places participants at increased risk for complications including surgical site infection, cardiovascular complications, and even death. Anemia has further clinical implications in quality of life measures and is associated with fatigue, impaired physical performance, decreased exercise capacity, and mood disturbances. Thus, evaluation and treatment of perioperative anemia is critical in risk mitigation within orthopaedic surgery. The current standard of care for anemia is transfusion of packed red blood cells in only cases of severe anemia due to the substantial associated risks. A safer alternative is desirable because a critical number of participants do not meet the restrictive transfusion threshold and may suffer negative effects from anemia during recovery from the acute insult. The focus of this project is to pilot an investigation of the benefits of intravenous iron therapy (IVIT) in traumatically injured patients. Specifically, Aim I will determine feasibility of study design, recruitment, randomization, intervention implementation, blinded procedures, and retention. In Aim II, time to return to normal hemoglobin following traumatic orthopaedic injury will be assessed. With Aim III, the investigators will measure IVIT effect on participant-reported fatigue, physical function, and depression, and further determine if resolution of anemia is correlated to improvements in these measures in traumatically injured orthopaedic patients. Aim IV will focus on evaluating the role of IVIT on immune cells through a variety of novel laboratory assessments. The investigators expect this study to provide a better understanding of IVIT, which has the potential to alter providers' treatment approach of anemia in participants who sustain traumatic orthopaedic injury, thereby leading to decreased risks and improved recovery.

The aim of the study is to compare the tolerability and efficacy of Sucrosomial Iron to Oral Iron Therapy in a randomized controlled trial for the treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Ulcerative Colitis patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of lower doses of busulfan and the elimination of cyclosporine will further reduce transplant-related side effects for patients with Fanconi Anemia (FA). Patients will undergo a transplant utilizing mis-matched related or matched unrelated donors following a preparative regimen of busulfan, fludarabine, anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclophosphamide.
