Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to characterize the diagnostic and therapeutic management of autoimmune cytopenias including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, and chronic idiopathic/autoimmune neutropenia. The main aims to answer are: - evaluation of traditional and novel diagnostic tools including immunohematology, cytokine essays, bone marrow studies, molecular findings, and fecal microbiome. - evaluation of type and sequence of the therapies administered, the response rates, and the adverse events. - evaluation of clinical and laboratory (immunologic, molecular, and morphologic) predictors of outcome. - evolution of autoimmune cytopenias into myelodysplastic syndromes. - a subgroup of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes will be included to evaluate the presence of immunologic events, autoimmune activation, and red cell metabolism. Participants will receive a clinical/laboratory diagnostic workup as per current clinical practice. Furthermore They will be sampled at baseline (peripheral blood and feces for microbiome) and followed up for at least 3 years to evaluate their clinical course, therapeutic management and outcome.
This is a trial with an observational and an interventional arm, in patients with moderate to severe anemia and control subjects. The main purposes of this study is to phenotype the scope of neurocognitive deficits from iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adult women, determine derangements in cerebral perfusion, vascular reactivity, functional connectivity, and blood brain barrier permeability in adult-onset IDA and relate them to neurocognitive deficits, as well as determine the reversibility and durability of both the physiologic and neurocognitive derangements by iron replacement therapy. All eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed consent before participating in the study.
This study aims to explore the safety and preliminary efficacy of a response-guided dose titration of KER-047 in the treatment of functional IDA (Iron deficiency anemia) in MDS (Myelodysplastic syndrome), MF(Myelofibrosis), and MDS/MPN (Myeloproliferative neoplasm) overlap syndromes.
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare and heterogeneous disorder characterized by the destruction of red blood cells through warm or cold antibodies. Glucocorticoid (combined with rituximab) is the first-line treatment. However, the recurrence rate is very high and some patients may not respond to steroids. Second-line therapies include cyclosporine A (CsA), cyclophosphamide, rituximab, azathioprine, and even splenectomy. Our previous study of sirolimus in refractory/relapsed AIHA and ES found an effective rate of 80%. Therefore, the investigators plan to explore the efficacy and safety of sirolimus in the treatment of refractory/relapsed wAIHA.
Myelodysplastic syndromes, primarily affecting older adults, are a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis that manifest clinically as anemia, neutropenia, and/or thrombocytopenia of variable severity; these often result in RBC- transfusion dependent (TD) anemia, increased risk of infection, and/or hemorrhage, as well as a potential to progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Lenalidomide is approved for red blood cell transfusion-dependent (RBC TD) anemia due to low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with a chromosome 5q deletion (del5q) with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalities. About one third of patients are refractory/resistant/intolerant and will require further treatment options. Luspatercept (ACE-536), an erythroid maturation agent, is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of a modified form of the extracellular domain (ECD) of the human activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB) linked to the Fc portion of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1-Fc). Luspatercept acts on endogenous inhibitors of late-stage erythropoiesis (eg, growth differentiation factor 11, GDF11) to increase release of mature erythrocytes into circulation. Nonclinical data have demonstrated that luspatercept binds to negative regulators governing late-stage erythroid development to inhibit their action, thereby promoting the maturation of erythrocytes in the bone marrow. Luspatercept is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with transfusion-dependent anaemia associated with beta-thalassaemia and due to very low, low and intermediate-risk MDS with ring sideroblasts, who had an unsatisfactory response to or are ineligible for erythropoietin-based-therapy. It is not indicated for other MDS subtypes. Unfortunately, patients with MDS with del5q refractory/resistant/intolerant to lenalidomide are excluded from clinical trials that evaluate novel treatments for the anemia of RBC TD lower risk MDS. Therefore, treatment of anemia in such patients is an unmet need. QOL-ONE Phoenix is a Phase 2, multicenter, single arm, prospective study. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of luspatercept on RBC TI in subjects with MDS with del5q with IPSS-R very low, low, or intermediate risk and < 5% bone marrow blasts, resistant/refractory/intolerant to lenalidomide and who require RBC transfusions. The study is divided into a Screening Period, a 2-year Treatment Period and a 3-year Follow-up Period. Primary objective is to evaluate the effect of luspatercept on RBC TI (lack of transfusions for 8 consecutive weeks within the first 24 weeks) in subjects with MDS with del5q with IPSS-R very low, low, or intermediate risk and < 5% bone marrow blasts, resistant/refractory/intolerant to lenalidomide and RBC TD.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) plays a crucial role in the signaling pathway of B-cell receptor (BCR), and has been found to be a major source of pathogenic signal transduction for various lymphoproliferative malignancies. The activity of BTK is related to the occurrence and progression of various B-cell lymphomas. Currently, BTK inhibitors are widely used in the treatment of B-cell lymphomas, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM), and other B-cell lymphomas, showing significant efficacy. BTK affects the production of messenger molecules and regulates the BCR signaling pathway, causing B cells to transform into self-reactive B cells, which can trigger autoimmune diseases. Current research has shown that BTK activity increases in several autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) . Therefore, BTK inhibitors (BTKi) are important for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Ibrutinib, one kind of BTKi, has been proven to treat secondary autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) in CLL and control CLL progression, and is an effective drug for treating lymphoma-associated AIHA . One kind of second-generation selective BTKi, acalabrutinib, can also reduce the incidence of AIHA in relapsed or refractory CLL patients. Currently, phase-II clinical studies exploring the treatment of AIHA using Ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and rilzabrutinib, another BTKi, are underway. Zanubrutinib (BGB-3111, Brukinsa®, BeiGene) is a second-generation irreversible BTKi developed by Chinese company BeiGene. Compared to Ibrutinib, zanubrutinib has shown stronger effective activity and higher selectivity towards BTK, and weaker effects on other targets such as TEC, EGFR, and Src families, with low off-target side effects. Its efficacy, durability, oral absorption, and targeting are better than those of Ibrutinib. Zanubrutinib is approved for the treatment of various B-cell lymphomas, and clinical trials have shown excellent efficacy and tolerability in CLL and WM patients. In previously treated CLL patients, zanubrutinib exhibits better efficacy and safety than Ibrutinib. Currently, phase II clinical studies of zanubrutinib in ITP, antiphospholipid syndrome, IgG4-related immune diseases, and active proliferative lupus nephritis are underway. The therapeutic effect of zanubrutinib on refractory warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, is worth exploring through exploratory research.
This is prospective single-blind randomized study, in Ain Shams University hospital) in Egypt, to assess the impact of Cholecalciferol on Anemia status in regular hemodialysis outpatients
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency and the most common cause of anemia. Anemia has a significant impact on the health of the fetus as well as that of the mother. It impairs the oxygen delivery through the placenta to the fetus and interferes with the normal intrauterine growth, leading to fetal loss and perinatal deaths. Anemia is associated with increased preterm labor (28.2%), preeclampsia (31.2%), and maternal sepsis. The study aims to compare the effect of Lactoferrin versus intravenous iron sucrose for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.
