Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Ferrous Sulphate (FS) tablets in improving iron stores and functional capacity in HF patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag in combination with cyclosporine alone as first-line therapy on overall hematologic response
Mechanisms by which to reduce exposure to allogeneic blood are of financial and clinical benefit in the hip fracture population. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an inexpensive medication with low complication risk. Its use in the hip fracture population is unproven. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical tranexamic acid in reduction of peri-operative blood loss in hip fracture surgery.
Infants and young children in sub-Saharan Africa have high rates of iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which adversely affects their growth and cognitive development. In-home iron fortification of complementary foods using micronutrient powders (MNPs) reduces risk for IDA by ensuring that the iron needs of infants and young children are met without changing their traditional diet. In order to optimize iron absorption timing of MNP consumption might as well be important. This is because hepcidin, a key regulator of systemic iron balance, shows a circadian increase that may influence morning versus afternoon iron absorption from the MNP. Furthermore, a single dose of iron can increase hepcidin levels and potentially inhibit iron absorption from a second dose, consumed close in time to the first dose. To determine the difference between i) morning versus afternoon iron absorption and ii) consecutive versus alternate day iron absorption, investigators will enrol 20 infants from Kwale County aged 6-14 months and conduct two studies. In study 1, infants will consume 2 test meals consisting of maize porridge containing isotopically labelled Ferrous Sulphate in the morning and afternoon on 2 days. In study 2, infants will consume 3 test meals consisting of maize porridge containing isotopically labelled Ferrous Sulphate on two consecutive days and 1 alternate day. In both studies, fourteen days after the last test meal administration, a whole blood sample will be collected by venipuncture for iron isotopic analysis. Iron and inflammation status parameter will be determined at baseline and endpoint. Hepcidin concentrations will be measured before the morning and afternoon meals (study 1) and after second consecutive meal (study 2). Knowing the effect of time on the expected iron absorption will inform decisions on the ideal timing of MNP to cover the infant's requirement for absorbed iron.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASP1517 when converted from recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) or darbepoetin alfa (DA), compared to DA in the treatment of anemia in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients. Another uncontrolled cohort will be included to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASP1517 in patients converted from epoetin beta pegol (CERA). This study will also assess the safety/efficacy of long term treatment of ASP1517 (52 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to compare two red blood cell transfusion strategies (liberal and restrictive) for patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction and are anemic.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in outcomes between liberal transfusion (transfusing when hemoglobin drops below a set higher value number) and conservative transfusion (transfusing when hemoglobin drops below a set lower value number).
Daprodustat is a drug that is currently being developed as a treatment for renal anemia . This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daprodustat following a switch from erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) in Japanese HD subjects with renal anemia who are currently treated with ESA. The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of daprodustat to darbepoetin alfa. This study is a 52-week, Phase III, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study. The total duration of the study will be approximately 58 weeks including screening and follow-up.
To evaluate the efficacy of oral ferric maltol compared with placebo in the treatment of IDA in subjects with CKD
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety when ASP1517 is intermittently administered in Erythropoiesis Stimulating Agent (ESA)-untreated non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients with anemia.
