Active clinical trials for "Glucosephosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency"

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is prevalent and add a burden on families in Egypt and Middle East due to lifelong diet restriction, non-fava beans diet is main food for most families in the region and parents and doctors consider it as a prohibited food whatever the genetic or clinical phenotypes. The effective management is avoiding a spectrum of food and drugs causing oxidative stress. No data is available about the hazards of consumption of non-fava beans diet.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the accuracy of the SD Biosensor STANDARD G6PD Analyzer in measuring G6PD activity when used by trained health care workers.

In this study we propose to determine the correlation in glucose-6phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme activity in capillary blood obtained from a finger stick versus a venous blood specimen. As secondary endpoints we will seek to correlate phenotype as determined by quantitative and qualitative G6PD test, genotype as determined by PCR and DNA sequencing with flow cytometry. The secondary endpoints are critical for the design of G6PD diagnostic test evaluation studies.

This study will evaluate a new and safe testing method for identifying medicines that can cause problems in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient individuals. We are looking for volunteers with G6PD deficiency who would be willing to donate blood samples.

Th objectives of this study are: To determine the performance of G6PD tests in detecting G6PD activity and hemoglobin (Hb) compared to a reference assay To assess the comprehension of the G6PD test packaging and labelling among intended users To assess the usability of G6PD test result outputs among intended users

This study is a single center, prospective, cross-over phase 1 trial. Eighteen subjects will be enrolled in the study evaluating the metabolism, pharmacokinetic behavior and tolerability of primaquine enantiomers and placebo over the course of 5 days.

A prospective clinical study to compare the clinical performance of the FINDER™ Instrument and the G6PD assay to an FDA cleared instrument/reagent combination in adult and neonate populations.

In this study the investigators propose to evaluate the performance of several G6PD testing platforms.

The proposed study will determine whether G6PD-deficient RBCs store differently than normal RBCs under standard blood banking conditions. The investigators plan to screen a large number of healthy male volunteers for G6PD deficiency in order to identify 10 G6PD deficient and 30 matched normal individuals using a blood sample obtained from a finger-stick. The identified individuals will then be asked to donate a unit of blood that will be stored for up to 42 days and various tests will be performed on these units during storage. At 6 weeks of storage a portion of the unit will be radioactively labeled and re-infused into the volunteer. Blood samples will be drawn before, during, and after the infusion to measure how well or poorly the red blood cells survive after transfusion.
