Active clinical trials for "Thalassemia"

This is a non-randomized, open label, single-dose, phase 1/2 study in up to 12 participants with β-thalassemia major.This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment with γ-globin reactivated autologous hematopoietic stem cells in subjects with β-thalassemia major.

The primary purpose of this study is to see if giving lower doses of chemotherapy (moderately ablative) will result in successful bone marrow replacement without as severe side-effects but with permanent control of the disease. Patients will receive a chemotherapy regimen with busulfan, fludarabine, and alemtuzumab followed by an infusion of stem cells, either from a family-related or cord-blood matched donor.

Study AG348-C-010 is a multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of treatment with AG-348 in adult participants with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT). This study includes a core period (up to 24 weeks) followed by an extension period (up to 10 years) for eligible participants. 20 participants with NTDT were enrolled. The initial dose of AG-348 was 50 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID) with one potential dose-level increase to 100 mg BID at the Week 6 visit based on the participant's safety and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations.

This study will investigate the safety and tolerability of SLN124 in patients with Thalassaemia or patients with Very Low- and Low-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) after single ascending s.c. doses and multiple doses in healthy male and female subjects. Up to 7 cohorts of 56 patients with Thalassaemia and up to 7 cohorts of 56 patients with MDS will be enrolled. Each subject will receive single or multiple doses of SLN124 or placebo given by subcutaneous (s.c) injection.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and clinical effects of SCD-101 when given to adults with sickle cell disease.

This is a single-arm, open-label, multi-site, single-dose Phase 1/2/3 study in subjects with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT). The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous CRISPR-Cas9 Modified CD34+ Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (hHSPCs) using CTX001.

Blood stem cells can produce red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells of the immune system (which fight infections) and platelets (which help the blood clot). Patients with sickle cell disease produce abnormal red blood cells. A blood stem cell transplant from a donor is a treatment option for patients with severe sickle cell disease. The donor can be healthy or have the sickle cell trait. The blood stem cell transplant will be given to the patient as an intravenous infusion (IV). The donor blood stem cells will then make normal red blood cells - as well as other types of blood cells - in the patient. When blood cells from two people co-exist in the patient, this is called mixed chimerism. Most children are successfully treated with blood stem cells from a sibling (brother/sister) who completely shares their tissue type (full-matched donor). However, transplant is not an option for patients who (1) have serious medical problems, and/or (2) do not have a full-matched donor. Most patients will have a relative who shares half of their tissue type (e.g. parent, child, and brother/sister) and can be a donor (half-matched or haploidentical donor). Adult patients with severe sickle cell disease were successfully treated with a half-matched transplant in a clinical study. Researchers would like to make half-matched transplant an option for more patients by (1) improving transplant success and (2) reducing transplanted-related complications. This research transplant is being tested in this Pilot study for the first time. It is different from a standard transplant because: Half-matched related donors will be used, and A new combination of drugs (chemotherapy) that does not completely wipe out the bone marrow cells (non-myeloablative treatment) will be used to prepare the patient for transplant, and Most of the donor CD4+ T cells (a type of immune cells) will be removed (depleted) before giving the blood stem cell transplant to the patient to improve transplant outcomes. It is hoped that the research transplant: Will reverse sickle cell disease and improve patient quality of life, Will reduce side effects and help the patient recover faster from the transplant, Help the patient keep the transplant longer and Reduce serious transplant-related complications.

The patient has inherited ß-thalassemia major through the genes. These genes have mistakes in them, so the body cannot make normal red blood cells. Stem cells are made in the bone marrow. They are the earliest form of blood cells. This study is being done to see if the investigators can make the stem cells produce normal red blood cells and hemoglobin. The investigators do this by collecting the stem cells. The genes with mistakes are removed from the cells. These cells are then treated so they have the corrected gene for making normal hemoglobin. These treated cells are given back to the patient through an injection (shot) in the vein. This is also known as gene transfer. In order for the body to accept these cells, the patient will need to receive a low dose of a drug called busulfan. It is a drug that will prepare the body to receive the new stem cells. This study will let the investigators know: If it is safe to give the patient the treated stem cells If the treated stem cells will go into the bone marrow without causing side effects. Gene transfer has been used for the past five years. It has been successful in treating many blood disorders. At least 20 patients have received the type of treatment that the patient will get on this study. This treatment for B-thalassemia major was developed here at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK). It was studied for a long time in the lab before being given to patients.

The study is designed as a Pilot/Phase 1 trial of reduced intensity Haploidentical HSCT in patients with sickle cell disease and thalassemia. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and toxicity of reduced intensity conditioning haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

This study's goal is to determine the frequency and severity of acute graft versus host disease, to evaluate incidence of primary and secondary graft rejection, to assess event free survival and overall survival, to determine the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment, to determine the time to immune reconstitution (including normalization of T, B and natural killer (NK) cell repertoire and Immunoglobulin G production), and to establish the incidence of infectious complications including bacterial, viral, fungal and atypical mycobacterial and other infections following CD34+ selection in children, adolescents and young adults receiving an allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant from a family member or unrelated adult donor for a non-malignant disease.
