Active clinical trials for "Anemia"

Anaemia is a condition in which blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. It can also occur if red blood cells do not contain enough haemoglobin, an oxygen carrying part of blood. Anaemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease. Healthy kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to produce the proper number of red blood cells needed to carry oxygen to vital organs. Chronic kidney disease is a general term that means that the kidneys are not functioning to their full potential. The study drug, BAY85-3934, is being evaluated as a drug to increase the body's ability to produce erythropoietin. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug, a tablet taken orally, is safe and effective for the treatment of anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease. The study will enroll 120 patients at multiple locations in Europe, Asia and Australia. Participation will involve a screening visit and between 12 and 15 study visits scheduled over a period of approximately 5 to 7 months. The estimated total duration of study treatment will be 16 weeks. During these scheduled visits patients will undergo a number of procedures to confirm efficacy and safety of the study drug, including measurement of heart rate and blood pressure, physical examination, Electrocardiogram and blood/urine sample collection for laboratory tests. The study will be conducted at 3 hospitals in the UK. Bayer HealthCare AG is funding this research.

Iron deficiency anemia is a very common problem accompanying pregnancy. in this study, the investigators are going to compare the efficacy and tolerability of two preparations of oral iron in treatment of iron deficiency anemia with pregnancy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of CKD-11101 and NESP after SC administration in health male volunteers

PROTOCOL FOR THE STUDY OF THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF JOBELYN, IN THE PREOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT OF ANAEMIA IN GYNAECOLOGICAL PATIENTS

The investigators hypothesis is that eltrombopag given to patients with moderate to very severe aplastic anemia will result in an increase in platelet counts. The investigators hypothesize that in patients with moderate to very severe aplastic anemia, treatment with eltrombopag will lead to fewer platelet transfusions, red blood cell transfusions, and fewer bleeding events. The investigators hypothesize that in patients with moderate to very severe aplastic anemia, eltrombopag will have an acceptable toxicity rate <3%, at doses that result in increased platelet counts. Finally the investigators hypothesize that plasma eltrombopag levels in peripheral blood will correlate with improved platelet counts.

This study is intended to evaluate the dose-response relationship of GSK1278863 over the first 4 weeks of treatment and evaluate the safety and efficacy of GSK1278863 over 24 weeks to maintain hemoglobin (Hgb) level in hemodialysis-dependent (HDD) subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are switched from a stable dose of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO). The data generated will enable selection of the starting dose(s) and optimize dose adjustment regimen(s) for Phase 3 clinical trials.

Postoperative anaemia are common in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery. The main consequence of perioperative anaemia is an increased risk of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. Allogeneic RBC transfusion and anaemia are associated with higher postoperative mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of postoperative i.v. ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) and oral ferrous glycine sulphate (FS) for early improvement of postoperative anaemia after total knee arthroplasty and whether iron treatment could facilitate recovery from surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the sequential infusion of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), expanded "in vitro" with platelet lysate without addition of animal products in the treatment of patients undergoing allo-HSCT who developed one or more cytopenias.

The present study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMG531 and to determine the recommended initial dose of AMG531 on the basis of its efficacy and safety when it is administered subcutaneously (SC) to the Aplastic Anemia (AA) patients with immunosuppressive-therapy refractory thrombocytopenia and also to assess the pharmacokinetics of this product. Its efficacy and safety during the extension period beyond one year will also be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether roxadustat is safe and effective in the treatment of anemia in participants who have just begun dialysis treatment for ESRD.
