Filter by:This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter, study in male and female pediatric subjects (2 years to <18 years of age) with IDA, or felt by their clinician to be at risk of developing IDA. This study allows for enrollment of subjects with IDA regardless of etiology, except for CKD subjects (pediatric CKD subjects are being studied in a separate ferumoxytol protocol).
Vitamins A, D, and E play important roles in humans, such as vision function, immune function, bone metabolism, cell growth and differentiation and oxidation resistance. Deficiencies in these vitamins will result in a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease, infection, bone diseases, etc. Preterm infants, especially very low birth weight infants, are at risk of vitamin deficiency. Intravenous perfusion is the most common and widely used method to supply vitamins for the specific population in early life. However, the current dose of vitamin supplied by intravenous perfusion whether can meet the need of growth and development is not sure and the appropriate dose for preterm infants is still uncertain. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether current dose of fat-soluble vitamin supplementation is enough for very low birth weight infants, the safety of high dose of fat-soluble vitamin supplementation, and compare the differences of prevalence of common complications, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, patent ductus arteriosus, sepsis, anemia, and neural development between these two groups.
The Pilot Optimizing Transfusion Thresholds in Critically-ill Children with Anaemia (P-OpTTICCA) study is a pilot trial for a large pragmatic international parallel open-label non-inferiority randomised controlled trial. The primary outcome of the pilot study is feasibility.
During the Efficacy Study (Part B), the investigators will study whether Pazopanib, taken daily for 24 weeks, will reduce the severity of nose bleeds in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Patients will either be provided active drug or a placebo [sugar - inactive pill], and be tested for nose bleed severity throughout the trial, including particularly nose bleed duration. Investigators will also test for blood loss, as well as for safety. This study is funded by the US Department of Defense USAMRAA and FDA/OOPD.
Septic shock is a frequent complication associated with high mortality in patients with malignancies. The best transfusion strategy (restrictive or liberal) for the resuscitation of septic shock remains a controversial issue, in relation with potentially discrepant goals of tissue oxygenation and transfusion sparing. In this study, the investigators propose to address the efficacy of two RBC transfusion strategies (liberal or restrictive) in restoring appropriate tissue oxygenation as well as their tolerance. The investigators designed a prospective randomized multicenter trial aimed at comparing liberal and restrictive RBC transfusion strategies applied during the first 48 hours of resuscitation in cancer patients with septic shock and anemia.
Anemia is the commonest hematological disorder that occurs in pregnancy. According to the recent standard laid down by 'WHO', anemia is present when the Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in the peripheral blood is 11 gm/dl or less. The most common cause of anemia in pregnancy is lack of iron. This study is done to compare the efficacy and tolerability of iron amino acid chelate and that of iron salts (ferrous fumarat).
Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in postoperative patients with confirmed preoperative iron deficiency (ID) in a population with planned major surgery who need fast replenishment of iron as judged by the treating physician will be treated with i.v. iron using Polyglucoferron, Ferric Carboxymaltose or oral iron
World Health Organization report notifies of the escalating global burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), projecting that it will become the major worldwide cause of death and disability by 2020. The South Asian countries have the highest rates of CVD globally. It is widely acknowledged that South Asians have 40-60% higher risk of CVD linked to mortality, compared with other populations. Multiple human population studies have established the concentration of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol as an independent, inverse predictor of the risk of having a cardiovascular event. Furthermore, HDLs have several well-documented functions with the potential to protect against cardiovascular disease. This study trial is designed to find out the role of intermittent fasting to improve the dyslipidemia and particularly increase the levels of HDL in general population. Investigators expect that the intermittent fasting will significantly enhance the level of HDL and reduce cardiovascular events in general population.

This study trial is designed to find out the role of alternative medicine such as functional food to improve the dyslipidemia and particularly increase the levels of HDL in general population. We expect that the use of Ajwa dates will significantly enhance the level of HDL and reduce cardiovascular events in general population.
Hydroxyurea Optimization through Precision Study (HOPS) is a prospective, multi-center, randomized trial that will directly compare a novel, individualized dosing strategy of hydroxyurea to standard weight-based dosing for children with SCA. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether a pharmacokinetics-based starting hydroxyurea dose thieves superior fetal hemoglobin response to to standard weight-based initial dosing. Patients will be recruited from the pediatric sickle cell clinic at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and from additional pediatric sickle cell centers within the United States.
