Active clinical trials for "Hemoglobinuria, Paroxysmal"

The objective of this study was to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of eculizumab in hemolytic PNH patients who completed the 4-week screening and 12-week treatment period of the C07-001 study. In addition, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessments of eculizumab were conducted.

This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of total-body irradiation when given together with fludarabine phosphate followed by a donor peripheral stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or myeloproliferative disorders (MPD). Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. Giving chemotherapy or radiation therapy before or after transplant also stops 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 cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.

Blood and marrow stem cell transplant has improved the outcome for patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. However, most patients do not have an appropriate HLA (immune type) matched sibling donor available and/or are unable to identify an acceptable unrelated HLA matched donor through the registries in a timely manner. Another option is haploidentical transplant using a partially matched family member donor. Although haploidentical transplant has proven curative in many patients, this procedure has been hindered by significant complications, primarily regimen-related toxicity including GVHD and infection due to delayed immune reconstitution. These can, in part, be due to certain white blood cells in the graft called T cells. GVHD happens when the donor T cells recognize the body tissues of the patient (the host) are different and attack these cells. Although too many T cells increase the possibility of GVHD, too few may cause the recipient's immune system to reconstitute slowly or the graft to fail to grow, leaving the patient at high-risk for significant infection. For these reasons, a primary focus for researchers is to engineer the graft to provide a T cell dose that will reduce the risk for GVHD, yet provide a sufficient number of cells to facilitate immune reconstitution and graft integrity. Building on prior institutional trials, this study will provide patients with a haploidentical (HAPLO) graft engineered to specific T cell target values using the CliniMACS system. A reduced intensity, preparative regimen will be used in an effort to reduce regimen-related toxicity and mortality. The primary aim of the study is to help improve overall survival with haploidentical stem cell transplant in this high risk patient population by 1) limiting the complication of graft versus host disease (GVHD), 2) enhancing post-transplant immune reconstitution, and 3) reducing non-relapse mortality.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate a reduction in intravascular hemolysis by REGN3918 over 26 weeks of treatment in patients with active PNH who are treatment-naive to complement inhibitor therapy or have not recently received complement inhibitor therapy. The secondary objectives of the study are: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN3918. To evaluate the effect of REGN3918 on parameters of intravascular hemolysis To assess the concentrations of total REGN3918 in serum. To evaluate the incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies to REGN3918 over time To evaluate the effect of REGN3918 on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) measuring fatigue and health-related quality of life

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of KP104 in healthy volunteers. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1, the single ascending dose (SAD) is the first in human (FIH) study of KP104 and Part 2, multiple ascending dose (MAD).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ALN-CC5 in healthy adult volunteers and subjects with PNH

This phase II trial studies how well giving fludarabine phosphate, melphalan, and low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) followed by donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Giving chemotherapy drugs such as fludarabine phosphate and melphalan, and low-dose TBI before a donor PBSCT helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from the donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cell from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and methotrexate after transplant may stop this from happening

A study to assess the safety and efficacy of eculizumab in Japanese patients with hemolytic PNH.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RA101495 in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) who have an inadequate response to eculizumab. Patients will be treated with RA101495 for 12 weeks.
