Filter by:Blood transfusion is often used to treat patients with Anemia. The period of storage of blood products prior to use for transfusion may vary. Prolonged storage of blood products may result in changing their biochemistry. This study aims to look into whether the transfusion of "old" blood, which is stored for more than 7 days, as compared to the transfusion of "Fresh" blood, which is stored for less than 7 days, will affect endothelial function.
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is an auto-immune disease mediated by specific antibodies targeting red blood cells. Its pathogenesis is not completely understood, and the role of T cells have been rarely studied. The aim of this study is to compare the frequency of circulating T cells, T cell polarization and functions, notably regulatory T cells, during warm AIHA by comparison to healthy controls. The role of treatments, such as steroids, will also be determined in patients with warm AIHA.
The aim of this study is to describe, in a real-life context, the impact of an epoetin alpha biosimilar, Retacrit®, on anaemia in patients receiving chemotherapy, according to concomitant iron supplementation.
This was a non-randomized, open-label, phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag in Japanese moderate or more severe aplastic anemia (AA) subjects with a platelet count <30,000/microliter who were refractory to anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)-based immunosuppressive therapy (IST), who have relapsed after ATG-based IST, or who are ineligible for ATG-based IST. Eltrombopag was expected to improve trilineage blood cells and decrease transfusion frequency based on the result from the previous study in patients with severe AA. This study used the hematologic response rate, defined as the proportion of subjects showing improvement in at least one of the three blood cell lineages or a decrease in blood transfusion volume, as the primary endpoint. A total of 36 subjects were screened and 21 were enrolled in the study. Treatment with eltrombopag started at 25 milligram (mg)/day and increased by 25 mg/day every 2 weeks according to the platelet count up to 100 mg/day. Response assessment was performed at 3 months after starting the study treatment (Week 13). Subjects in whom the treatment was assessed as effective continued with the study treatment. Subjects in whom the treatment was assessed as effective (when meeting any of the response criteria) at 6 months after starting the study treatment (Week 26) might enter the extension phase and continue the treatment with eltrombopag. The primary endpoint was the hematologic response rate at Week26.
Oral iron supplementation is often associated with rapid onset of gastrointestinal side-effects. The aim of this study was to develop and trial a short, simple questionnaire to capture these early side-effects and to determine which symptoms are more discriminating. The study was a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized parallel trial with one week treatment followed by one week wash-out. Subjects were randomized into two treatment groups (n=10/group) to receive either ferrous sulphate (200 mg capsules containing 65 mg of iron) or placebo, both to be taken at mealtimes twice daily during the treatment period. Subjects completed the questionnaires daily for 14 days. The questionnaire included gastrointestinal symptoms commonly reported to be associated with the oral intake of ferrous iron salts (i.e. nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and constipation).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of lower doses of busulfan and the elimination of cyclosporine will further reduce transplant-related side effects for patients with Fanconi Anemia (FA). Patients will undergo a transplant utilizing mis-matched related or matched unrelated donors following a preparative regimen of busulfan, fludarabine, anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclophosphamide.
The main aim of this study is to observe correction of the hemoglobin level in the patients under chemotherapy, treated with epoetin alfa biosimilar and presenting with a solid tumor or a lymphoma or a myeloma.
This is an observational clinical research on patients with chronic kidney disease who are not on hemodialysis and receiving darbepoetin alfa to treat diagnosed renal anemia; the major objective is to explore novel erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) response index in association with deterioration of renal function as well as occurrence of cardiovascular disease events.
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate and compare the effect of iron isomaltoside 1000 to iron sucrose in its ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb) in subjects with IDA when oral iron preparations are ineffective or cannot be used or where there is a clinical need to deliver iron rapidly.
In total 50 subjects with iron deficiency anemia treated with intravenous iron are planned for inclusion in this trial. After signing an informed consent a blood sample will be obtained from each participant before iron treatment. The investigators will measure the thrombin generation in plasma assessed by the calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT). patient will go face to face interview and will be asked to answer structured questionnaire which will include information on demographics, clinical data ( fever, allergies , etc.) and comorbidities Two weeks after completing intravenous iron administration additional blood samples will be taken: thrombin generation will be measured
