Filter by:This clinical trial studies how well donor stem cell boost works in treating patients with low blood cells after donor stem cell transplant. Donor stem cell boost may increase low blood cell counts caused by hematologic cancer or its treatment.
Blood transfusion in critical ill patients has been associated to several complications and worse outcome. Particularly in oncologic patients, red blood cell transfusion has been investigated as a factor of worse outcome and cancer recurrence due impairment of cellular immunity. Although red blood cell transfusion has decreased in worldwide clinical practice, this issue still remains a matter of controversy in oncologic patients. There are no prospective studies comparing outcomes between restrictive or liberal blood transfusion strategy in oncologic critical patients. This study is a prospective and randomized study comparing clinical outcomes between two strategies of transfusion in oncologic critical patients - liberal or restrictive.
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is an acquired chronic hemolytic anemia,this study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Levamisole combined with cyclosporine A in patients with classic paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
The proposed project is aimed at testing two interventions, namely a highly bioavailable iron compound and a combination of SP plus amodiaquine for intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) of malaria, to reduce anaemia in very young children.
The VITamin D and OmegaA-3 TriaL (VITAL; NCT01169259) is a randomized clinical trial in 20,000 U.S. men and women studying whether taking daily dietary supplements of vitamin D3 (2000 IU) or omega-3 fatty acids (Omacor® fish oil, 1 gram) reduces the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and stroke in people who do not have a prior history of these illnesses. This ancillary study is being conducted among VITAL participants and will study whether vitamin D or fish oil: (A) in the overall VITAL cohort, reduces the number of persons diagnosed with anemia and (B) in a subcohort of 900 participants seen in Boston, effects long-term changes of the proteins in blood in both anemic and non-anemic individuals who provide blood samples at the start of the study and again 2 years later.
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if umbilical cord milking at the time of scheduled cesarean section effects the hemoglobin and hematocrit levels of full-term infants as determined by hemoglobin and hematocrit levels at 36-48 hours of life. This study will help to establish the feasibility of umbilical cord milking as an alternative to delayed clamping at the time of planned cesarean section.
The purpose of this open-label extension study is to evaluate long-term efficacy and safety of roxadustat in maintaining hemoglobin (Hb) in participants with dialysis and non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have completed the Treatment Period of a roxadustat FibroGen-sponsored anemia study.
The investigators hypothesized that both isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer), and oral iron preparation will be equally effective in correction of postpartum iron deficiency anemia.
The purpose of this study is to observe correction of haemoglobin (Hb) levels in patients receiving chemotherapy as a consequence of a solid tumour, a malignant lymphoma or a multiple myeloma and who are treated with Retacrit™.
This phase II trial studies methylprednisolone, horse anti-thymocyte globulin, cyclosporine, filgrastim, and/or pegfilgrastim or pegfilgrastim biosimilar in treating patients with aplastic anemia or low or intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Horse anti-thymocyte globulin is made from horse blood and targets immune cells known as T-lymphocytes. Since T-lymphocytes are believed to be involved in causing low blood counts in aplastic anemia and in some cases of myelodysplastic syndromes, killing these cells may help treat the disease. Methylprednisolone and cyclosporine work to suppress immune cells called lymphocytes. This may help to improve low blood counts in aplastic anemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. Filgrastim and pegfilgrastim are designed to cause white blood cells to grow. This may help to fight infections and help improve the white blood cell count. Giving methylprednisolone and horse anti-thymocyte globulin together with cyclosporine, filgrastim, and/or pegfilgrastim may be an effective treatment for patients with aplastic anemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
