Active clinical trials for "beta-Thalassemia"

The purpose of this study is determination of the efficacy of combination of hydroxyurea with L-carnitine or magnesium in improving hematologic parameters and cardiac status in patients with β-thalassemia intermedia in comparison with hydroxyurea alone .

In this 4-year extension study the safety, efficacy and and pharmacokinetics of deferasirox in regularly transfused pediatric patients with β-thalassemia major was assessed. Patients who successfully completed the main 1 year trial (NCT00390858) were eligible to continue in this extension trial and receive chelation therapy with deferasirox for up to 4 years.

A clinical trial designed to compare the safety and iron excretion properties of desferoxamine (DFO) and deferitrin (GT56-252), an experimental oral iron chelator.

To allow patients treated with deferasirox in the core study to continue iron chelation therapy for 2 years or until the drug became locally commercially available. To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of deferasirox by measuring treatment success, change in liver iron content (LIC) and change in serum ferritin levels. Safety was mainly assessed by incidence of adverse events (AEs)and clinically significant lab parameters.

To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of orally-administered pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH) for the chronic treatment of iron overload.

This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group trial to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of multiple doses of VIT-2763 versus placebo in participants with non-transfusion-dependent Beta-thalassemia (NTDT).

This study compares the effects of Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs) prepared in two different ways on the transfusion indices in beta(ß)-Thalassemia transfusion-dependent patients. The two blood components types derive from the whole blood. In one case, the whole blood is leukoreduced with subsequent plasma removal. In the other case, plasma, buffy coat, and red blood cells (RBCs) are first separated and subsequently, the RBCs leukoreduced. Each type of blood components will be subsequently given to one-half of the patients for a 6-month period and to the other half for other 6-month at the randomization phase, for a total of 12 months of crossed-treatment per patient.

The aim of the present study is evaluating the strength of combination therapy of hydroxy urea, omega 3, nigella sativa and honey on antioxidant-oxidant status (OXIDATIVE STRESS) in response to reactive oxygen species production (LIPID PEROXIDATION) and their effect on iron intoxication (IRON CHELATION) in pediatric major thalassemia.

This study aims to evaluate the persistence of a hypercoagulable state in chronically-transfused patients with beta thalassemia major, by using the thrombin generation test (performed in whole blood and plasma). Patients will be compared with 2 control groups: 1/ healthy volunteers and 2/ carriers of beta-thalassemia trait

This is a single-arm, multi-site, single-dose, Phase 3 study in approximately 18 participants less than or equal to (<=) 50 years of age with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT), who have a β0/β0, β0/IVS-I-110, or IVS-I-110/IVS-I-110 genotype. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using LentiGlobin BB305 Drug Product.
