Filter by:Previous studies have shown that perioperative intravenous iron has a beneficial effect on patients with perioperative anaemia. To assess whether a combined iron supplementation regimen can reduce perioperative allogeneic blood transfusions in patients with iron deficiency anaemia undergoing major cardiac surgery under haemodynamic anaesthesia, a multicentre randomised clinical trial (CIPAT study) will be conducted. In the CIPAT study, patients undergoing elective major cardiac surgery under general anaesthesia will be randomly allocated to a control group and a combined iron supplementation group. Patients in the combined iron supplementation group will receive a combination iron supplementation regimen of iron sucrose in combination with Human Erythropoietin and vitamin C three times in the week prior to surgery, while patients in the control group will receive the same dose of placebo three times in the week prior to surgery. The primary endpoint is the volume of allogeneic erythrocyte infusion from the start of surgery to 5 days postoperatively. It is hypothesised that patients in the combined iron supplementation group will have fewer perioperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusions than those in the control group.
In this study, investigators intend to prospectively study treatment-naive AA patients (including SAA and NSAA) who are non-transplant candidates in northern China. Patients with SAA receive ATG+CsA+Herombopag, and patients with NSAA receive CsA+ Herombopag. Investigators explored possible indicators of participants' predictive efficacy and built predictive models. After the participants achieved response, they used a tapering regimen, observed relapse and clonal evolution, and developed a predictive model of relapse.
For elderly patients who cannot tolerate anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) treatment, the addition of avatrombopag (AVA), which has a slight adverse reaction, can theoretically improve the hematological response rate in elderly patients with non-severe aplastic anemia (NSAA) without significantly increasing adverse reactions. Based on this, this study treated NSAA patients older than 60 with AVA combined with CsA to evaluate the hematological response rate and safety of AVA in the elderly who could not tolerate ATG therapy.
Oral iron supplements are a cornerstone therapy for treating iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, aiming to replenish low iron levels in the body. These supplements typically contain various iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, ferrous fumarate, ferric maltose and ferric pyrophosphate. Each salt differs in elemental iron content and potential side effects, allowing for tailored treatment based on individual patient needs and tolerability. Moreover, advancements in carrier systems, such as microencapsulation or complexation can enhance the absorption and bioavailability of iron supplements. By improving absorption, these carrier systems may mitigate gastrointestinal side effects and increase the efficacy of iron therapy.
This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, phase 2 study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anti-lymphocyte globulin plus eltrombopag in combination with moderate-dose cyclophosphamide for severe aplastic anemia.
Anemia is a common problem during pregnancy. Most studies have demonstrated that anemia during pregnancy have adverse effects on their pregnancy outcome, which is important and should pay attention to prevent and solve such problems. The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. Several studies reveal that Vitamin C promotes iron absorption. In this study we will compare between Vitamin C with iron supplement and iron supplement alone in prevention of anemia in pregnancy.
Roxadustat is a licensed medicine to treat anemia in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Anemia is a low level of red blood cells. Current treatment for anemia is to have injections of medicines called erythropoietin stimulating agents (also known as ESAs) to help the bone marrow make more red blood cells. These are often given together with iron. This treatment is also available to children and teenagers with CKD. However, there are some safety concerns with ESAs. Also, as roxadustat is taken orally, this may be another option for treating anemia in children and teenagers with CKD. In this study, children and teenagers with CKD and anemia will take roxadustat for up to 52 weeks to treat their anemia. The main aim of the study is to learn how roxadustat affects anemia in children and teenagers with CKD. This is an open-label study which means the children and teenagers in the study and the clinic staff know they will be taking roxadustat. In this study, the children and teenagers with CKD who need treatment for anemia can take part. Those currently being treated with an ESA will be switched to roxadustat. Those who have not been treated with an ESA can start on roxadustat straight away. All children and teenagers in the study will take roxadustat 3 times a week for up to 52 weeks (1 year). They will start on a fixed dose of roxadustat for 4 weeks. Blood samples will be taken regularly to check hemoglobin levels. The roxadustat dose may be changed if the blood levels of hemoglobin are too high, too low, or change too quickly. After 4 weeks the dose may be changed, if needed, to keep blood levels of hemoglobin in the blood to just below the normal range. Firstly, teenagers will take roxadustat. 10 teenagers will take their fixed dose of roxadustat for 4 weeks. They will give blood samples to help the researchers work out the most suitable dose for the rest of the teenagers in the study. When the rest of the teenagers start taking roxadustat at the most suitable dose for teenagers, 10 children will take roxadustat for 4 weeks. These 10 children will give blood samples to help the researchers work out the most suitable dose for the rest of the children in the study. Then, the rest of the children will take roxadustat at the most suitable dose for children. There will be many clinic visits during the study. Overnight hospital stays are not expected. There will be 1 visit every 2 weeks for the first 4 weeks of taking roxadustat, then every 4 weeks until the end of treatment. Finally there is 1 visit 4 weeks after treatment has finished. During most visits, the children and teenagers will have their vital signs checked (blood pressure, body temperature and heart rate). Fluid status (how much water is in the body) will also be checked for those who need dialysis. The children and teenagers will also have blood tests and the study doctors will check for any medical problems. The children and teenagers will have a medical examination before their first dose of roxadustat and again at about 24-week (6-month) and 52-week (13-month) visits. They will have an electrocardiogram (ECG) before their first dose of roxadustat and again at the 12-week, 24-week, 36-week, and 52-week visit. They will also have urine tests at the 4-week, 24-week and 52-week visits. At the 52-week visit, the children and teenagers will also have blood tests for hemoglobin and iron levels. The study doctors will also check for any medical problems.
To study and analyze the association of the severity of anemia with neonatal morbidity and the risk factors of anemia in ealry life (less than 3 days of life) among the very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Luspatercept vs epoetin alfa in the treatment of anemia in adults due to IPSS-R very low, low, intermediate-risk MDS in ESA-naïve participants who are non-transfusion dependent (NTD).
The goal of this observational study is to characterize the diagnostic and therapeutic management of autoimmune cytopenias including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, and chronic idiopathic/autoimmune neutropenia. The main aims to answer are: - evaluation of traditional and novel diagnostic tools including immunohematology, cytokine essays, bone marrow studies, molecular findings, and fecal microbiome. - evaluation of type and sequence of the therapies administered, the response rates, and the adverse events. - evaluation of clinical and laboratory (immunologic, molecular, and morphologic) predictors of outcome. - evolution of autoimmune cytopenias into myelodysplastic syndromes. - a subgroup of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes will be included to evaluate the presence of immunologic events, autoimmune activation, and red cell metabolism. Participants will receive a clinical/laboratory diagnostic workup as per current clinical practice. Furthermore They will be sampled at baseline (peripheral blood and feces for microbiome) and followed up for at least 3 years to evaluate their clinical course, therapeutic management and outcome.
