Filter by:We used the preoperative intervention of iron sucrose in combination with human erythropoietin and vitamin C as an innovative combination therapy. This combined treatment strategy aims to improve perioperative anaemia in patients by promoting erythropoiesis and improving iron metabolism. Compared with previous perioperative intravenous iron supplementation, this innovative combination therapy strategy takes into account multiple aspects of iron metabolism as well as the biological mechanisms of erythropoiesis, providing a more comprehensive intervention. Management of perioperative anaemia in previous studies has largely relied on single intravenous iron supplementation therapy, and although this approach has been effective in raising iron levels, its effectiveness may be limited in patients who have impaired iron utilisation or in situations where concurrent stimulation of erythropoiesis is required. The use of iron sucrose in combination with human erythropoietin and vitamin C, on the other hand, is based on an integrative therapeutic concept aimed at providing a more comprehensive response to perioperative anaemia by simultaneously promoting effective iron utilisation and erythropoiesis.
Romiplostim has been used in clinical trials for the treatment of severe and very severe aplastic anemia (SAA/vSAA) in Asian participants who are either previously untreated with immunosuppressive therapy (IST) or refractory to IST. This study will evaluate the efficacy of romiplostim in the treatment of participants with SAA/vSAA. The primary objectives of this study are to: Arm 1: Evaluate the efficacy of romiplostim and IST in adult SAA/vSAA participants who are previously untreated with IST (1L) Arm 2: Evaluate the efficacy of romiplostim treatment in adult SAA/vSAA participants who are refractory to IST (2L+)
This phase 1b/2a open-label study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of DISC-0974 as well as categorize the effects on anemia response in subjects with myelofibrosis and anemia.
The World Health Organization recommends daily iron supplementation for infants and children (6 months-12 years). Based on the low cost and high bioavailability and efficacy, ferrous sulfate is typically the first choice for supplementation and fortification. The recommended dose of iron is set high to deliver adequate absorbed iron due to low rates of dietary iron absorption, which is typically <10%. Thus, the majority of dietary iron is not absorbed and travels to the colon. Unabsorbed iron in the colon may select for enteric pathogens at the expense of beneficial commensal bacteria and increase infection risk, including the clinical incidence of diarrhea. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of iron as ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) or FeSO4-enriched Aspergillus oryzae (Ao iron) on the growth and virulence of common enteric pathogens using an in vitro fecal fermentation model. Stool samples will be collected from children following ingestion of an iron supplement as either FeSO4 or Ao iron. Stool samples will be spiked with common enteric pathogens and outcome measures will be determined following in vitro fecal fermentation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if manual external aortic compression can prevent heavy blood loss in cesarean section. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Is external aortic compression safe? 2. Is external aortic compression effective? Participants will receive preventive external aortic compression or no external aortic compression right after the baby is out at cesarean section. Blood loss will be measured, as well as kidney function, hemoglobin, and hematocrit before and after the operation. Experienced discomfort will be assessed the day after surgery and breastfeeding and signs of depression will be assessed using questionnaires after 2 months. Researchers will compare women with and without external aortic compression to see if there are differences in these outcomes.
The primary aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of IV Ferric Derisomaltose vs Oral Iron in the management of women with severe Iron Deficiency Anemia due to Uterine Bleeding in the emergency department.
The main goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of roxadustat for treatment of anemia in participants with non-myeloid malignancies receiving multi-cycle treatments of myelosuppressive chemotherapy.
FOLFOX, the first-line regimen based on 5-FU and oxaliplatin, is adjuvant chemotherapy for pathologic stage II/III colorectal cancer patients. Among various side effects of FOLFOX, chemotherapy-induced anemia occurs in about 30% of patients with FOLFOX chemotherapy. An oral iron supplement is a widely accepted treatment for chemotherapy-induced anemia, but an oral iron supplement has a lot of inconveniences that can make patients' adherence worse, such as gastrointestinal discomfort, a long period of oral intake, and late recovery of serum iron level. Intravenous iron infusion has been recently reported to be effective and safe to correct anemia. Previous studies reported that intravenous iron is also effective to correct chemotherapy-induced anemia. However, there is a paucity of studies associated with colorectal cancer patients with FOLFOX chemotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of intravenous iron on chemotherapy-induced anemia after FOLFOX chemotherapy for patients with colorectal cancer compared with the effect of oral iron supplements. Parameters including serum Hb, serum iron, serum ferritin concentrations, total iron-binding capacity, absolute neutrophil count, platelet, albumin, C reactive protein, hepcidin, soluble transferrin receptor, and IL6 will be analyzed. In addition, information on chemotoxicity, adverse events during chemotherapy and quality of life will be collected and analyzed.
Acute blood loss in orthopaedic trauma and operative fracture care contributes substantially to perioperative anemia, which places participants at increased risk for complications including surgical site infection, cardiovascular complications, and even death. Anemia has further clinical implications in quality of life measures and is associated with fatigue, impaired physical performance, decreased exercise capacity, and mood disturbances. Thus, evaluation and treatment of perioperative anemia is critical in risk mitigation within orthopaedic surgery. The current standard of care for anemia is transfusion of packed red blood cells in only cases of severe anemia due to the substantial associated risks. A safer alternative is desirable because a critical number of participants do not meet the restrictive transfusion threshold and may suffer negative effects from anemia during recovery from the acute insult. The focus of this project is to pilot an investigation of the benefits of intravenous iron therapy (IVIT) in traumatically injured patients. Specifically, Aim I will determine feasibility of study design, recruitment, randomization, intervention implementation, blinded procedures, and retention. In Aim II, time to return to normal hemoglobin following traumatic orthopaedic injury will be assessed. With Aim III, the investigators will measure IVIT effect on participant-reported fatigue, physical function, and depression, and further determine if resolution of anemia is correlated to improvements in these measures in traumatically injured orthopaedic patients. Aim IV will focus on evaluating the role of IVIT on immune cells through a variety of novel laboratory assessments. The investigators expect this study to provide a better understanding of IVIT, which has the potential to alter providers' treatment approach of anemia in participants who sustain traumatic orthopaedic injury, thereby leading to decreased risks and improved recovery.
The study aims to increase our understanding of variability in adherence to anaemia management guidelines and to assess the impact of anaemia management in clinical care following major gynaecological surgery
