Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hemoglobin response (efficacy), safety, and tolerability of orally administered AKB-6548 in participants with Chronic Kidney Disease (pre-dialysis) with anemia with dosing for 20 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to take advance of the presence of two different cohorts of SCA patients in one country, the first group included SCA patients from Bedouin Arab origin that lives in Israel for more than one century and originally comes from African countries or Saudi Arabia, those patients lives in north east Israel and are treated at the Hematology Unit of the Emek Medical Center, the second group are SCA patients from African origin that come to Israel in the last decades and belong to original African population, this group receive treatment at the Pediatric Hematology Unit, Dana Children's Hospital, Ichilov Medical Center. A third group is a cohort of SCA patients treated at Schneider Children's Hospital Hematology Unit. Those patients belong also to the Israel Arab population and patients from a village that African Muslims live for many years. The characteristics of the three groups will be compared to the characteristics of a fourth group, a cohort of Afro-American SCA patients that are followed up and treated at the Pediatric Hematology Unit, Detroit Children's Medical Center, Detroit, Michigan, USA.
This study is a randomized, controlled, double-blinded single center trial to compare the efficacy of NovaFerrum® to ferrous sulfate for the treatment of nutritional iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in infants and young children. Hypothesis: NovaFerrum® has greater efficacy than ferrous sulfate in increasing hemoglobin concentration during a twelve week course of treatment to subjects with iron deficiency anemia. Primary Aim: To compare the efficacy of NovaFerrum® to ferrous sulfate for the treatment of nutritional IDA in infants and young children as determined by increase in hemoglobin concentration. Secondary Aims: 1. To compare the adverse effects of treatment for IDA between ferrous sulfate and NovaFerrum® 2. To compare normalization of iron stores as demonstrated by laboratory measures of IDA (ferritin, TIBC, reticulocyte hemoglobin content) between subjects treated with ferrous sulfate or NovaFerrum® 3. To compare the adherence to study medication between subjects on ferrous sulfate and NovaFerrum® 4. To demonstrate efficacy of a once daily dosing regimen in the treatment of nutritional IDA
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the last recommendations of the European Anemia Working Group ERBP in the anemia management in the achievement of the therapeutic goal of Hb 11-12 g/dL.
This prospective observational study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) in chronic kidney disease participants on dialysis with renal anemia. Participants initiated on treatment with Mircera according to the Summary of Product Characteristics and standard clinical practice were followed for 10 months.
The purpose of this study is to monitor and quality assure the efficacy and safety of Monofer® in a broad patient population when Monofer® is used according to the Monofer® label (SPC) in current practice and where standard routines are being followed.
Background: - This research is being done to describe the types of bacteria found in the mouths of patients who have severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and are treated with drugs that suppress the immune system or with stem cell transplant. People with SAA who receive these treatments are more likely to get infections. Studies show that there might be a link between the bacteria in your mouth and those bacteria that can cause infections. The bacteria found in the mouths of patients with SAA will be described. Objectives: - To understand the changes in mouth bacteria that are related to treatment and to describe the oral bacterial environment. Eligibility: - Adults at least 18 years of age who are going to be treated for SAA. - Healthy volunteers at least 18 years of age. Design: - Participants will answer questions about their medical history and dental care. Their mouths will be examined. - Participants with SAA will be tested during treatment for their disease, over the course of 1 year. All participants with SAA will be tested at 3 scheduled appointments. Any participants who require a breathing tube will receive additional tests. - Healthy volunteers will be tested during 1 visit. - Participants will give two samples each time. A saliva sample will be taken with a disposable padded tool. Skin cells will be collected from the tongue with a small plastic brush.
This multicenter observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Mircera (methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta) in patients with chronic kidney disease not on dialysis in routine clinical practice. Eligible patients treated with Mircera for chronic renal anemia according to the standard of care and in line with the current local label will be followed for 6 months.
Background: - Eltrombopag is a drug being tested for treating severe aplastic anemia. It can help improve blood counts in these patients. However, researchers do not know how long the drug can and should be taken for this type of anemia. Objectives: - To look at whether 6 months of treatment with eltrombopag can improve patient s blood counts. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 2 years of age who are taking eltrombopag for severe aplastic anemia. Design: - Participants will take eltrombopag by mouth once a day for 6 months. - Blood samples will be collected every 2 weeks for the first 6 months. Bone marrow samples will be collected at 3 and 6 months. These samples will look at the effects of the study drug on the marrow. - Participants will continue to take the study drug for as long as it is effective and if the side effects are not severe.
This study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of intermittent oral dosing of ASP1517 in dialysis chronic kidney disease patients with anemia.
