Active clinical trials for "Thrombocytopenia"

The purpose of the current Phase I, open-label, three-period, single sequence, crossover study, TPL116010, is to evaluate the potential drug-drug interaction between eltrombopag (ELT) and bocrprevir (BCP) and between ELT and telaprevir (TLP) in healthy subjects. In this study there will be a screening visit, three treatment periods, and a follow-up visit. In Period 1, subjects will receive a single dose of ELT on Day 1, and pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling will occur for 72 hours. In Period 2, subjects will receive BCP/TLP for 10 days with PK sampling for 8 hours. In Period 3, subjects will receive a single dose of ELT with BCP/TLP on Day 1 only with PK sampling for 72 hours. Subjects will return for a follow-up visit within 10 to 14 days of the last dose of study drugs. The total duration of the study from Screening to Follow-up will be approximately 9 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to identify an effective, well tolerated dose and schedule of romiplostim that is appropriate for the treatment of chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving gemcitabine and platinum.

This study is to determine the effectiveness of a computerized clinical decision support tool (Best Practice Alert - BPA) in reducing unnecessary platelet transfusions based on guidelines published by national transfusion societies such as the AABB (formerly American Association of Blood Banks).

This was a worldwide, three-part (Part 1: open-label, Part 2: randomized, double-blind, Part 3: extension), multi-center study to evaluate the effect of eltrombopag in subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy. This objective was assessed by a composite primary endpoint that consists of the following: the proportion of ≥Grade 3 hemorrhagic adverse events, or platelet counts <10 Gi/L, or platelet transfusions. Patients with MDS or AML and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy were enrolled in the study. No low or intermediate-1 risk MDS subjects were enrolled in the study. Subjects must have had at least one of the following during the 4 weeks prior to enrolment: platelet count <10 Gi/L, platelet transfusion, or symptomatic hemorrhagic event. Supportive standard of care (SOC), including hydroxyurea, was allowed as indicated by local practice throughout the study. The study had 3 sequential parts. Subjects who were enrolled in Part 1 (open-label) cannot be enrolled in Part 2 of the study (randomized, double-blind); however, subjects who completed the treatment period for Part 1 or Part 2 (8 and 12 weeks, respectively) continued in Part 3 (extension) if the investigator determined that the subject was receiving clinical benefit on treatment.

RATIONALE: Gathering information about patients with cancer and cancer-related conditions may help doctors learn more about a patient's needs and help doctors plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well a whole-person-care guide works in identifying patient needs in patients with cancer or complications from cancer treatment.

Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of avatrombopag in subjects with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia receiving chemotherapy for the treatment of ovarian, lung (small cell and non-small cell) and bladder cancer.

The purpose of this study is to test whether giving tranexamic acid to patients receiving treatment for blood cancers reduces the risk of bleeding or death, and the need for platelet transfusions. Patients will be randomised to receive tranexamic acid (given intravenously through a drip, or orally) or a placebo.

The present study is a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, two-Phase, sequential cohort, dose finding study to assess the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in patients with solid tumors receiving gemcitabine monotherapy or the combination of gemcitabine plus carboplatin or cisplatin. Phase I of the study will examine safety and tolerability of various doses of eltrombopag to identify a dose and schedule of eltrombopag. Phase II will confirm that the chosen dose and schedule of eltrombopag from Phase I can deliver clinically meaningful benefit(s) to thrombocytopenic patients by improving platelet numbers.

This research study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of two different dose levels of a new, unapproved drug to be given along with the chemotherapy regimens gemcitabine and carboplatin or gemcitabine and cisplatin prescribed to women for the treatment of ovarian cancer. This experimental drug is called TXA127 and is being tested for effectiveness to see if it will help reduce some of the side effects of the chemotherapy, primarily low blood platelet levels that lead to excess bleeding. This study also intends to test the safety of TXA127 when given as an injection under the skin on a daily basis concurrently with up to 6 cycles of the prescribed chemotherapy.

This is a study to investigate if eltrombopag can be used instead of Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) in patients with ITP, to adequately raise their platelet count when they undergo minor or major surgery. Eltrombopag is a daily, oral pill approved for treatment of ITP. IVIG is a blood product frequently used to treat ITP. Patients with ITP who need surgery have to get treatment to increase their platelet count. IVIG is commonly used for this purpose but eltrombopag may be more effective and convenient for patients.
