Filter by:This is a phase II, open label, multi-center, intra-patient dose escalation study to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) after oral administration of eltrombopag in combination with immunosuppressive therapy in pediatric patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory severe aplastic anemia or recurrent aplastic anemia.
This study evaluates the intervention of Nut Fish based food, micro nutrients supplementation and pregnancy class to improve maternal and birth outcome. This is cluster randomized trial with two arms. The intervention group will receive Nut Fish based supplementation, multiple micro nutrients, and pregnancy class. The control group will receive government food supplementation, iron folic acid supplementation, and pregnancy class.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether long-acting octreotide is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with Rendu-Osler-Weber (e.g. HHT). The study hypothesis is that octreotide is safe and will reduce transfusion requirements and endoscopy frequency in ROW patients with refractory anaemia due to bleeding gastrointestinal telangiectasias.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of comparing outcomes of patients treated de novo with immunosuppressive therapy (IST) versus matched unrelated donor (MUD) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for pediatric acquired severe aplastic anemia.
Prospective screening and treatment study for children with Sickle Cell Anemia and increased stroke risk living in the Dominican Republic.
This clinical trial studies the use of reduced intensity chemotherapy and radiation therapy before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate, before a donor stem cell transplant may help stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Reducing the intensity of the chemotherapy and radiation may also reduce the side effects of the donor stem cell transplant.
Intravenous iron preparations have been shown to be superior to oral iron and have largely replaced the treatment of anaemia in Northern countries. However, the socio-economic and medical conditions in low resource countries greatly differ from those in northern countries. Patients' different access to medication supply, perception of medication need and compliance as well as the burden of concomitant disease like malaria, soil-transmitted helminths, schistosomiasis, HIV and red blood cells (RBC) genetic disorders may influence effectiveness and safety of iron substitution modality. The aim of the present study is to compare iv iron substitution by ferric carboxymaltose (Ferinject®) to per oral iron substitution in a low resource country
Preoperative anemia is an independent risk factor for the need for allogeneic transfusion during surgery and increased postoperative morbidity. Treatment of preoperative anemia is recommended. However the type of preoperative anemias in elective hip- and knee surgery has only been sparsely studied. This observational study aims to investigate the incidence and type of anemias prior to elective hip- and knee arthroplasty.
This phase III trial studies ibrutinib and rituximab to see how well they work compared to fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab in treating patients with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine phosphate 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. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. It is not yet known whether fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab may work better than ibrutinib and rituximab in treating patients with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Severe aplastic anemia (SAA)is characterized by the depletion of hematopoietic precursors associated with life-threatening complications. High-dose cyclophosphamide has been found to yield a complete response (CR) in adults and children with SAA.However, the optimal dosage of cyclophosphamide for patients in childhood remains unclear. So we explore the ideal dosage of cyclophosphamide for the treatment of children with SAA.
