Active clinical trials for "Anemia"

This 2 arm study will evaluate the efficacy of intravenous Mircera treatment for the correction of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are on dialysis. Patients will be randomized to receive either Mircera 0.6 micrograms/kg i.v. every 2 weeks, or epoetin 3 times per week i.v. according to approved treatment recommendations. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

To establish the efficacy and Safety of rHu-EPO-alpha in patients with anemia of Chronic Renal Failure.

This phase II trial is studying how well giving MS-275 together with GM-CSF works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and/or relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. MS-275 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Colony-stimulating factors, such as GM-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving MS-275 together with GM-CSF may be an effective treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that once weekly and once every-2-weeks treatment with epoetin alfa, in patients with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease, is not less effective than the approved treatment with epoetin alfa that is given 3 times weekly with respect to changes in hemoglobin.

This phase II trial studies how well total-body irradiation (TBI) works when given together with fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide followed by donor bone marrow transplant, mycophenolate mofetil, and cyclosporine in treating patients with Fanconi anemia (FA). Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, and TBI before or after a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of abnormal cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving mycophenolate mofetil and cyclosporine after the transplant may stop this from happening.

To evaluate the safety of 1.020 grams (g) of intravenous (IV) ferumoxytol compared to 1.500 g of IV ferric carboxymaltose (FCM).

Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is a significant worldwide health problem, affecting 22% of pregnant women in industrialized countries and 52% in non-industrialized countries. Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy is associated with increased maternal as well as fetal morbidity, including prematurity, low birth-weight and perinatal and infant loss. Therefore, routine iron supplementation during the second half of pregnancy has been recommended once daily. Others, however, support a selective iron supplementation only for women with iron deficiency anemia, in order to avoid the increased risk of haemoconcentration associated with routine iron supplementation. Unfortunately, compliance to either iron-supplementation programs, especially among pregnant women, is poor, due in part to the side effects associated with these preparations. Currently, there are many iron preparations available containing different types of iron salts, including ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate, ferrous ascorbate but common adverse drug reactions found with these preparations are mainly gastrointestinal intolerance like nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, while ferrous bis-glycinate (fully reacted chelated amino acid form of iron) rarely make complication. Product resulting from the reaction of a metal ion from a soluble salt with amino acids to form coordinate covalent bonds, the resulting molecule is called as chelate and chemical bonding process is called chelation. Ferrous bis-glycinate is highly stable and totally nutritionally functional chelate it is an amino acid fully reacted chelate which is formed by the binding of two molecules of glycine to one Fe2+ atom.

The study will be conducted in compliance with the International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use/Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements. This is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of luspatercept (ACE-536) versus placebo in participants with anemia due to the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) very low, low, or intermediate MDS with ring sideroblasts who require red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.

A multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled Phase 3 study for the maintenance treatment of anemia in participants with Non-dialysis-dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (NDD-CKD)

This study was conducted to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Anemia is a reduced number of red blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is important for the transport of oxygen in your blood. The purpose of the study was to see if Roxadustat is both effective and safe as a treatment for anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease.
