Active clinical trials for "Thrombocytopenia"

It is a translational research study with mechanistical objectives and including biological samples of patients with thrombocytopenia

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a peripheral destruction of platelets responsible for bleedings. Monocytes/macrophages play a double role by phagocyting platelets recognized by autoantibodies and by maintaining the autoimmune response via their antigen-presenting cell functions. Fcgamma receptors (FcγR), that are represented by activating receptors (FcγRI, FcγRIIa, FcγRIII) and an inhibiting one (FcγRIIb), are involved in the regulation of macrophages and have been reported to be dysregulated in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematous. The aim of this study is to compare the expression of FcγR in patients with ITP on circulating monocytes and on splenic macrophages.

The Internal Medicine Department of Haut-Lévêque Hospital (Pr E LAZARO, Pr JL PELLEGRIN, Pr JF VIALLARD) was accredited in 2017 by the Ministry of Health as a Constitutive Reference Center for Autoimmune Cytopenia. The investigators wish to launch new research projects in autoimmune cytopenia and propose a translational and fundamental research based on collaboration between the clinical department, the biological resource center and the CNRS and INSERM research units ("Bedside to the Bench Strategy"). Thus, in the perspective of future research work, it seems imperative to set up a biological bank for the patients followed in our Reference Center.

This is a prospective observational study designed to evaluate Immature Platelet Fraction or Immature Platelet Count and Platelet Function Analyzer-100/200 Closure Time-ADP (in vitro bleeding time) as markers of bleeding risk in thrombocytopenic preterm neonates admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

In the context of anti-Covid19 vaccination, atypical thrombosis have occured and potential link with vaccination is under investigation. This study collect clinical and biological data of all atypical thrombosis occurring within 4 weeks after antiCovid vaccination.

The drug immune thrombocytopenia (TIM) are the most common drug cytopenias. They result from a peripheral destruction of platelets in the presence of the drug only. They usually involve immunoglobulin G (IgG) directed against either the drug molecule bound to a carrier protein or, by autoimmunity, against a hidden epitope newly exposed as a result of treatment. The most common drugs involved are quinine, some antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or anticonvulsants but the list is not exhaustive. in the case of new-onset thrombocytopenia and after eliminating other possible causes, a TIM is suspected but the offending drug is difficult to identify in generally poly-medicated patients. Several drugs may be suspected and the clinician uses biology for rapid assistance to the "de-prescription" and reduces unnecessary therapeutic substitutions in an always difficult clinical situation. The Immunology Laboratory of the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne has developed a biological test of thrombocytopenia induction in the presence of the drug and the patient's serum that is to say its antibodies and complement fractions with cytometry reading flow. This Induction Test in vitro TIM (TITIM) is simple, fast, inexpensive, easy to transfer in hospital laboratories. But this test must be validated on well-documented clinical cases. The purpose of this pilot project is to validate the technical and assess the clinical specificity of the test TITIM for hard imputability drugs validated by a committee of experts combining a posteriori of clinical and biological criteria of routine.

Patients with severe immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) present with similarly low platelet counts but varying bleeding symptoms, making it difficult to predict the disease course and to decide on an appropriate treatment plan. In a single-center study, platelet parameters including the immature platelet fraction, the absolute immature platelet count , and functional response markers were found to be significantly associated with patient bleeding severity, independent of platelet count. This study aims to confirm and replicate these findings in a multi-center patient population and to investigate the use of these parameters to better predict disease severity and bleeding events.

Patients are frequently evaluated by physicians for medical work-up of HIV indicator conditions in hospital and in primary care at the general practitioner. Testing for HIV is indicated with HIV indicator disorder but often omitted in clinical work-up. Besides the fact that HIV testing is forgotten, there are other reasons such as an underestimation of the risk of HIV in the event of indicator disorders, stigma and difficulties in discussing the test with a patient. Also and more relevant for primary care than for the hospital, practical challenges can exist for a patient to go to a laboratory, or costs are a hurdle. This project focuses on improving HIV indicator condition driven testing in different settings of the HIV epidemic, initially in the Netherlands as low HIV prevalence setting followed by an assessment of its benefit in different international settings. A specific focus will also be on the Rotterdam area in the Netherlands which has a high prevalence of undiagnosed HIV in the Netherlands. The ultimate aim is to decrease the number of undiagnosed HIV in populations, improve the 90-90-90 HIV cascade of care goals particularly its first pillar, and to help supporting the UNAIDS goal to end HIV/AIDS

This study evaluates the risks and experience of blood clots and bleeding in patients with blood cancers. While it is standard of care to use medications to reduce the risk of blood clots in hospitalized individuals, some patients with blood cancers have low platelet counts that can increase the concern for bleeding complications associated with these medications. At this time, the optimal management strategies for blood clots are not well known for patients with blood cancers. This pilot study evaluates additional information that could help doctors know which patients are at highest risk for blood clots.

This is a multi-center, retrospective clinical study to analyze the clinical features, laboratory indicators, imaging changes, treatment options and long-term prognosis in patients with sever fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome. All hospitalized patients with sever fever with thrombocytopenia diagnosed between 2016 and 2022 were included from the electronic medical record system of 8 centers, and demographics, hospitalization information, clinical information, laboratory or imaging examinations, treatment options, and outcomes were collected.
