Filter by:Aplastic anemia (AA) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) are interrelated and very rare diseases. Therefore, little data about clinical characteristics, especially the variety of symptoms in the course of the respective disease are available. As a consequence, patients may be left on their own between infrequent follow-ups at a specialist center. A web-based symptom-monitoring application can support selfmanagement and patient empowerment and promotes a patient- centered interdisciplinary team approach in the context of a "disease management program". This pilot study is to investigate usability and feasibility of the electronic Patient-Reported Outcome (ePRO) application in AA/PNH by assessing recruitment, app utilization, data collection, functionality, acceptability after using and working with the ePRO application.
Anemia is known as a condition in which the hemoglobin level is lower than normal. Anemia is one of the most common complications during pregnancy. Anemia in pregnancy is defined as a hemoglobin level < 110 g/L . Anemia is an important risk factor in pregnancy which leads to both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The pregnant woman needs more iron during pregnancy, so iron deficiency anemia is very common during pregnancy. In Egypt; iron deficiency anemia affects about one in every two pregnant women, especially in rural areas. Pregnant women require about 27 mg/day elemental iron to cover their increased need. The pregnant women should start taking a daily supplement of 30mg of elemental iron as a preventive measure against iron deficiency anemia especially in poor countries. Obesity is defined as having an excessive amount of body fat. The body mass index, a measurement based on height and weight, determines the obese if the figure more than 30 kg/m2. There is an increased rate of overweight and obesity among pregnant women. According to the World Health Organization, 46% of adult females in Egypt are obese. Many researches in the literature revealed a strong relationship between high BMI in pregnancy and iron deficiency anemia. Hepcidin is an iron regulating hormone in the body. Increases in iron levels in the plasma stimulate the production of hepcidin, which blocks iron absorption from the diet, so; hepcidin production is suppressed in the case of iron deficiency.
To evaluate the hematological responses based on the response assessment criteria defined in this study (the 531-004 response assessment criteria) when AMG531 is subcutaneously (SC)-administered with ciclosporin A (CsA) therapy for 6 months in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) who were previously untreated with immunosuppressive therapy.
Patients of relapsed and refractory warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia or EVANS syndrome aged 18 to 80 will be included in this study. The treatment regimen is a single dose anti-CD20 antibody (500mg) combined with bortezomib (1.3mg/m2 twice a week for two weeks). The treatment course would be repeated three months later.
Randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of oral iron supplementation in reducing the prevalence of preoperative anemia in a cohort of 82 patients undergoing elective prosthetic hip or knee surgery.
This study aimed to determine the effect of an integrated educational session on enhancing compliance behavior among pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia.The anemic pregnant women in the study group received an integrated health education in one session. While pregnant women who were allocated to the control group received the routine antenatal care and follow up.
The purpose of this study is to find out if roxadustat (also known as FG-4592) is safe and effective for the treatment of anemia in participants receiving chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center study in dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) participants to evaluate the efficacy and relative safety of different dosing regimens of roxadustat over a 36-week treatment period. There are 3 study periods: - Screening Period (up to 4 weeks) - Treatment Period (36 weeks) Part 1: Correction/Conversion Period (Weeks 1-20) Part 2: Hemoglobin (Hb) Maintenance Period (Weeks 21-36) - Follow-up Period (4 weeks)
JTZ-951 is a currently being developed as a treatment for renal anemia. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JTZ-951 following a switch from erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) in Korean subjects receiving HemoDialysis with renal anemia. This study is a Phase III, open, active-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study. The total duration of the study will be 30 weeks including screening, treatment and follow-up.
In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) set a global policy recommending daily oral iron supplementation (60 mg iron) for 12 weeks for all women living in countries where anemia prevalence is >40%, such as in Cambodia. However, recent studies have shown the prevalence of iron deficiency to be low in Cambodian women and that supplementation would likely only benefit ~10% of women. Iron supplementation may be harmful in women with genetic blood disorders (e.g. thalassemia), which are common in Cambodia, as these individuals are already at an increased risk of iron overload. The risks are made greater by the fact that iron absorption from most common form of supplementation, ferrous sulfate, is low. Typically less than 20% is absorbed in the gut; the remaining 80% passes unabsorbed into the colon where it can increase the risk of pathogen growth and gut inflammation. Alternatively, ferrous bisglycinate is a newer supplemental form of iron. This amino acid chelate has 2-4x higher bioavailability than ferrous sulfate and is associated with fewer GI side-effects. In view of WHO policy and risks of supplementation, there is a need to determine the potential for harm, and if novel forms of iron supplements are safer.
