Filter by:This study was a single-arm, multicenter, phase Π clinical study. Patients admitted to the enrollment unit center with a confirmed diagnosis of TDNSAA/VSAA/SAA, treated with IST (p/r-ATG+CSA) in combination with TPO-RA (including eltrombopta or hydtrombopta) for at least 3 months with no hematologic response at 6-month follow-up, and who were not suitable or unwilling to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), were to another novel TPO-RA avatrombopta, 40-60 mg (weight <80 kg), in addition to maintaining the original immunosuppressive therapy ( CSA or equivalent immune potency drugs), switch to another new TPO-RA avatropa 40-60 mg (40 mg daily for weight <80 kg; 60 mg daily for weight >80 kg) orally once daily for at least 3 months and follow up for 3 months to determine the hematologic response and to assess the safety of the drug
A Phase 4, 52 week, single arm, multicentre post marketing surveillance to evaluate the safety of Desidustat for the treatment of anemia in subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Objectives 2.1 Primary objectives 1) To observe and compare incidence and severity of aGVHD and cGVHD between the two arms within 2 years after transplantation. 2) To observe and compare the engraftment rate between the two arms. 3) To observe and compare the incidence of infections between the two arms. 2.2 Secondary objectives 1. To conduct pharmacogenomic assay in CD20 arm(treatment arm) before conditioning and monitor plasma concentration of CD20 dynamically（7d、14d、28d、56d、91d）. 2. To monitor levels of B cells in peripheral blood dynamically (+90d、+180d、+270d、+360d、+450d、+540d、+630d、+720d) in all patients. 3. To observe and compare the incidence of PTLD between the two arms. 4. To observe and compare immunoglobulin levels after transplantation in all patients. 5. To evaluate transplant-related mortality. 6. To evaluate the effect on hematopoietic reconstruction.
Preoperative anemia is detrimental in surgical patients, and its treatment with transfusions can further worsen outcomes, including increased hospital stay and mortality. Transfusions are also highly costly. In 2010, the World Health Organization endorsed the adoption of Patient Blood Management (PBM) programs, i.e., patient-centered multidisciplinary activities, including recognition and treatment of preoperative anemia. While the latter has been proved effective in reducing transfusions in setting like elective orthopedic surgery, widespread adoption is still lacking. Moreover, little is known about surgical oncology, a particular setting posing unique challenging. This change-promoting project attempts to fill this knowledge gap by establishing a multidisciplinary team aimed at optimal management of preoperative anemia in hepatobiliary/pancreas/gastrointestinal/renal surgical oncology. The primary endpoint is the reduction of transfusions, along with safer patient outcomes as compared to the historical series.
As a follow-up to the RAPIDIRON Trial (NCT05358509), this study will follow the previously randomized mothers as well as their offspring after birth to assess neurodevelopmental, hematologic, and health outcomes. The study's overarching goal is to determine if the offspring born to RAPIDIRON Trial mothers in the intravenous iron groups, compared to the oral iron group, will achieve superior neurodevelopment, iron stores, and growth at specific time points during the first three years of life. Differences will be assessed between offspring based on the iron deficiency anemia (IDA) treatment of the mother.
One of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide is iron deficiency. Iron deficiency is considered the main cause of anaemia in developing countries, including those in South America. The most recent surveys report that the prevalence of anaemia is as high as, 40 and 25% in Peru. Populations living at higher altitudes may have higher iron requirements, as body iron is naturally increased in long-term high-altitude residents to compensate for the lower oxygen in the air at high altitudes. However, the effects of chronic exposure to high altitude on iron status, body iron compartments and dietary iron requirements are incompletely understood. The primary objective of the proposed research is to determine iron bioavailability of iron from biofortified potatoes at different altitudes in populations of Andean descent. Human trials will be undertaken with volunteers in the Huancavelica region of Peru (elevation: 3676 meters) as well as in Lima (elevation close to sea level). The aim is to assess the effect of altitude on the absorption from a promising iron biofortified potato cultivar. These trials require incorporation of iron stable isotopes into the meals of the bio fortified potato and the analysis of the isotopes in subsequent blood (red blood cells) samples. Stable iron istotopes are considered the golden standard to assess human iron absorption and can be safely used as tracer substances in humans. The objective of the study is to compare, in volunteer females of childbearing age, the bioavailability of iron from bio-fortified potatoes in two locations of different altitudes and quantify the effect of altitude on iron bioavailability from a potato meal consumed over 5 consecutive days.
Anemia is a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) in the circulation. Because RBCs carry the oxygen your body needs to function, anemia can affect one's ability to stay awake, alert, and perform physical activities. Anemia may happen for several reasons, including increased RBC destruction. Anemia often occurs in people who have been in bed for long periods (e.g., if they are very sick) or have decreased mobility (anemia of immobility). Interestingly, astronauts who have left Earth and traveled in space also return anemic. In fact, 5 decades of NASA data showed that astronauts' anemia was more severe the longer they were in space. In another study, astronauts aboard the International Space Station were shown to destroy 54% more of their RBCs in space. RBC destruction may be the culprit of space anemia as well as anemia of immobility on Earth. The ANEMIA Study proposes to measure key aspects of RBC destruction in astronauts in space. These measures will test critical hypotheses on the effects of spaceflight on red blood cells.
The current standard for anemia screening, complete blood count, presents invasiveness, infrastructure requirements and high costs, leading to serious underestimation of anemia prevalence and insufficient care for anemia patients. Here, the investigators established and validated an artificial intelligence system to achieve automatic detection of anemia based on patient-sourced images of fingernails and conjunctivae. This system has been integrated into a smartphone app to be further validated through hospital-based and population-based clinical trials.
This purpose of this study is to establish proof of concept of AG-946 in participants with LR-MDS in Phase 2a and to compare the effect of AG-946 versus placebo and to detect a dose response for erythroid response in participants with LR-MDS in Phase 2b.
Patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) and lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have a life expectancy of 5 to 10 years. Mortality in these patients results from progression of disease to higher-risk MDS or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and cardiovascular events. Currently there are no FDA-approved treatments with the potential to improve survival of patients with CCUS and lower-risk MDS. Statins are an appealing class of drugs to consider in this situation as preclinical data support their potential to suppress progression of myeloid malignancy, and they have a well-established role in prevention of major cardiovascular events. This is a pilot study to explore the role of statins in treatment of patients with CCUS and lower-risk MDS. In this study, change in inflammatory biomarkers and variant allele frequency (VAF) of somatic mutations will be used as a surrogate marker of response to statin therapy. The hypothesis is that the use of statins at diagnosis of CCUS or lower-risk MDS will reduce inflammation and delay or prevent the expected increase in the VAF of somatic mutations over time.
