Filter by:This study is designed to assess, relative to placebo, the effects on the evolution of exercise capacity and symptomatic status of the addition of iron treatment with FCM (ferric carboxymaltose) to the basic regimen of ambulatory patients with stable symptomatic chronic CHF (congestive heart failure) and iron deficiency.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and toxicity and feasibility of double umbilical cord blood transplantation (DUCBT) in patients with selected malignant and non-malignant, and to quantify the percentage and donor sources of mixed donor chimerism following DUCBT in patients with selected malignant and non-malignant disorders.
Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of 3 treatment groups and receive 325 mg (65 mg elemental iron) iron supplements twice daily.
Eligible female subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. Subjects will receive 325 mg (65 mg elemental iron) iron supplements to be taken twice daily during study drug treatment. The study duration is approximately six months, which is comprised of a 4 - 6 week screening period, a three-month drug treatment period, and a one-month follow-up period.
This is a randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter multinational safety study involving about 300 predialysis patients aged 18 years or above suffering from anemia. Symptomatic anemia will be corrected by s.c. application of EPO HEXAL or ERYPO® in order to achieve a hemoglobin target range of 10.0 -12.0 g/dL.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Epoetin alfa treatment reduces red blood cell transfusions in anemic patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of disorders characterized by progressive bone marrow failure and an increased risk of development of leukemia.
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous Mircera for the correction and maintenance of hemoglobin levels in predialysis patients with renal anemia who are not currently treated with ESA. Eligible patients will receive monthly subcutaneous injections at an initial recommended dose of 1.2 micrograms/kg. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This is a post-authorisation safety study to assess the incidence and severity of all pre-defined cardiovascular events in patients treated with DYNEPO, as well as to detect & describe less common adverse drug reactions, and to summarise DYNEPO drug utilisation.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of peginesatide used to treat anemia in subjects diagnosed with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer and who also receiving a taxane chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to discover whether children and adults with Fanconi anemia (FA) can be safely and effectively transplanted with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) mismatched (up to one haplotype), HLA-matched sibling, or unrelated donor stem cells, when leukocytolytic monoclonal antibodies are the sole conditioning agents (patients receiving an HLA mismatched transplant will receive Fludarabine as part of the conditioning regimen). Three monoclonal antibodies (MAb) will be used in combination. Two of them, YTH 24 and YTH 54 are rat antibodies directed against two contiguous epitopes on the CD45 (common leucocyte) antigen. They have been safely administered as part of the conditioning regimen for 12 patients receiving allografts (HLA matched and mismatched) at this center. They produce a transient depletion of >90% circulating leucocytes. The third MAb is Campath 1H, a humanized rat anti-CD52 MAb. This MAb has been widely used to treat B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and more recently has been safely given at this and other centers as part of a sub-ablative conditioning regimen to patients with malignant disease. Because these MAb produce both profound immunosuppression and significant, though transient, myelodestruction we believe they may be useful as the sole conditioning regimen in patients with Fanconi anemia, in whom the use of conventional chemotherapeutic agents for conditioning produces a high rate of short and long term toxicity. We anticipate MAb mediated subablative conditioning will permit engraftment in a high percentage of these patients with little or no immediate or long term toxicity. Campath IH persists in vivo for several days after administration and so will be present over the transplant period to deplete donor T cells as partial graft versus host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Additional GvHD prophylaxis will be provided by administration of the medication FK506.
