NCT ID: NCT00730314 Completed - Anemia Clinical Trials

Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation(HSCT) for Genetic Diseases of Blood Cells

Start date: August 2008
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a clinical trial of bone marrow transplantation for patients with the diagnosis of a genetic disease of blood cells that do not have an HLA-matched sibling donor. Genetic diseases of blood cell include: Red blood cell defects e.g. hemoglobinopathies (sickle cell disease and thalassemia), Blackfan-Diamond anemia and congenital or chronic hemolytic anemias; White blood cells defects/immune deficiencies e.g. chronic granulomatous disease, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome,Osteopetrosis, Kostmann's syndrome (congenital neutropenia), Hereditary Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH); Platelets defects e.g.Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia; Metabolic/storage disorders e.g. leukodystrophies,mucopolysaccharidoses as Hurler disease;Stem cell defects e.g.reticular agenesis, among many other rare similar conditions. The study treatment plan uses a new transplant treatment regimen that aims to try to decrease the acute toxicities and complications associated with the standard treatment plans and to improve outcome The blood stem cells will be derived from either unrelated donor or unrelated umbilical cord blood.

NCT ID: NCT00727571 Completed - Anemia Clinical Trials

LEARN-6™: A Prospective, Observational Nursing Home Study

Start date: September 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational, hypothesis-generating study exploring mobility, Quality of Life and other physical performance measures among older, long-term stay Nursing Home residents with CKD, with versus without anemia. Enrolled patients will participate in the study up to a total of 26 weeks and be assessed at Weeks 1, 2, 14 and 26/End of Study. Based upon Week 1 hemoglobin and serum creatinine lab results, participants will be categorized into 1 of 4 groups.

NCT ID: NCT00727545 Completed - Clinical trials for Iron Deficiency Anemia

Effect of Rice Fortification With Iron on Anemia Among Children

Start date: March 2006
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This was a double-blind community-based trial, placebo controlled. During 16 weeks, children in the intervention group (GI, n=180) received iron fortified rice, and children in the control group (GC, n=174) received rice with placebo. Anemia was considered present when hemoglobin < 11.0g/dL. Comparison of mean variation on hemoglobin between groups was accessed by using Student's t-test. Hemoglobin concentration improved in both groups, with mean increase of 0.42 g/dL in GI (11.28±1.23 g/dL to 11.75±1.16 g/dL, p < 0.001), and 0.49 g/dL in GC (11.06±1.13 g/dL to 11.51±1.16 g/dL, p < 0.001). Anemia decreased (p < 0.01) in both groups (37.8% to 23.3% in GI and 45.4% to 33.3% in GC), with no differences between them. Hemoglobin increase was significantly higher in children who received total amount of iron ≥ 53.76 mg from fortified rice, compared to those who received less than this cut-off value (0.94 g/dl vs 0.39 g/dl p=0.03). The results suggest that this type of intervention can be useful in anemia control if fortified food intake is adequate.

NCT ID: NCT00721188 Completed - Anemia Clinical Trials

Iron Sucrose in Non-Dialysis Dependent (NDD-CKD) Pediatric Patients

Start date: January 2006
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of Venofer (Iron Sucrose Injection) in NDD-CKD pediatric patients.

NCT ID: NCT00717821 Completed - Anemia Clinical Trials

A Study of Once Monthly Intravenous or Subcutaneous Mircera in Participants With Chronic Kidney Disease on Hemodialysis.

Start date: August 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This 2 arm study will compare the hemoglobin maintenance with once monthly methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (Mircera) administration versus epoetin beta or darbepoetin alfa in participants with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Participants will be randomized to receive either monthly intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (at a starting dose of 120 or 200 micrograms, calculated from the last weekly dose of epoetin beta or darbepoetin alfa previously administered), or standard therapy (IV or SC epoetin beta once, twice or thrice weekly, or IV or SC darbepoetin alfa once a week or twice a week).

NCT ID: NCT00717366 Completed - Anemia Clinical Trials

A Study of Intravenous Mircera for the Treatment of Anemia in Pediatric Patients on Hemodialysis

Start date: July 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This sequential study will assess the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of intravenous Mircera, and will determine the optimum starting dose for maintenance treatment of anemia in children with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis. Pediatric patients will remain on epoetin alfa, epoetin beta or darbepoetin alfa during the screening period, after which they will receive intravenous Mircera monthly, at a starting dose related to the previous weekly epoetin or darbepoetin alfa dose. Depending on the response achieved, another group may be selected to receive a higher or a lower dose. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

NCT ID: NCT00711958 Completed - Anemia Clinical Trials

Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of HX575 in the Treatment of Chemotherapy Associated Anemia in Cancer Patients

Start date: November 2004
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter clinical phase III study involving about 105 cancer patients aged >18 years who are receiving palliative chemotherapy and who are suffering from chemotherapy associated anemia. A standard treatment group (ERYPO®) will be included to provide a reference reflecting current standard medical practice.
