Filter by:The HOPE-Hb trial is a phase II study to determine the feasibility and impact of a combination treatment (intravenous iron plus erythropoietin) versus intravenous iron treatment alone on preoperative hemoglobin concentration before hip or knee arthroplasty.
The purpose is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IOP Injection (MPB-1514) for the treatment of iron-deficient anemia (IDA).
Daprodustat has demonstrated an ability to effectively raise hemoglobin concentrations with lower erythropoietin (EPO) levels than those observed after administration of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPOs). Therefore, daprodustat has the potential to treat anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a lower cardiovascular (CV) risk than is observed with the rhEPOs. While the effect of rhEPOs on endothelial function has been assessed, to date the effect of daprodustat or other prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (PHI) compounds on endothelial function has not. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the effect of daprodustat to darbepoetin alfa on endothelial function by assessing FBF in participants with anemia of CKD by using venous occlusion plethysmography as a means to estimate the potential for daprodustat to have a lower risk of CV events as compared to rhEPO. This study will use a randomized, repeat dose, open label, parallel group design, in adult, not on-dialysis, male and female participants with anemia of CKD that are currently not treated with rhEPOs. The study will comprise of three study periods: a screening period starting up to 30 days prior to Day 1, a 42 day (6 week) treatment period, and a follow-up visit up to 14 days later. The total duration of participants involvement is up to 14 weeks (including screening and follow up visit). Approximately 50 participants will be randomized to either daprodustat or darbepoetin alfa.
This is an explorative, open-label, uncontrolled, single center study to explore the preliminary safety, tolerability and efficacy of oral ferric maltol in treating iron deficiency in patients with pulmonary hypertension and iron deficiency anemia.
This phase II trial studies how well busulfan, fludarabine, donor stem cell transplant, and cyclophosphamide in treating participants with multiple myeloma or myelofibrosis. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as busulfan, fludarabine, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the participant they may help the participant's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Giving busulfan and fludarabine before and cyclophosphamide after donor stem cell may work better in treating participants with multiple myeloma or myelofibrosis.
Although several large well designed clinical trials have shown that erythropoietin which is commonly used to treat anemia associated with kidney disease, increases the risk of stroke and heart disease, the mechanism for this increased risk is unknown. The investigators' preliminary studies show that the adverse effects of erythropoietin are from activation of the heterodimeric erythropoietin/ beta common receptor which only occurs with high doses of erythropoietin. The investigators propose a clinical trial of 120 patients assigned to low doses of erythropoietin given more frequently or the same cumulative dose of erythropoietin administered as a high dose once every two weeks and assess effects on the beta common receptor activation, inflammation and vascular disease as evidence by MRI of the carotid arteries.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether FG-4592 is safe and effective in the treatment of anemia in participants with lower risk MDS and low red blood cell transfusion burden.
Fresenius Medical Care has developed a computer software programme called the Anaemia Control Management (ACM) software to assist in the anaemia management of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis. This trial is designed to assess the effectiveness of this ACM software on anaemia management in routine clinical practice. However, all ultimate decisions on therapeutic or diagnostic procedures, treatments, management of the disease, or resource utilisation will be at the discretion of the Investigator. The trial consists of a retrospective (historical) control period and a prospective (going forward) period. During the prospective period, the ACM will be used to assist the Investigators' decision making and will help the Investigators to administer a personalised intravenous (IV) iron and red blood cell stimulating agent (ESA) therapy, whereas treatment according to standard of care will be documented retrospectively for the same patients during the retrospective period of the trial. Thus, patients can serve as their own control.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, open-label study to evaluate vadadustat versus epoetin alfa for the treatment of anemia in subjects with Dialysis-dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (DD-CKD) who are hyporesponsive to erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs.)
The purpose of this study is whether the mitochondrial oxygenation tension (mitoPO2) is a feasible and reliable tool in ICU patients with anaemia undergoing red cell transfusion to ultimately personalize blood transfusion decisions in the ICU.
