Filter by:Acute Chest Syndrome (ACS) is a pulmonary complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) representing the leading cause of death and the second cause of hospitalization among adult patients. Pulmonary vaso-occlusion is one of the main pathophysiologic hypotheses during ACS. Our hypothesis is that therapeutic anticoagulation may reduce the severity of ACS via the alleviation of pulmonary thrombosis. The main objective of this prospective, randomized, double-blind study is to test the efficacy and safety of a curative anticoagulation strategy during ACS. The main efficacy endpoint is time to ACS resolution. The main safety endpoint is number of major bleedings. A thoracic CT scan will be performed to check for pulmonary artery thrombosis. If the CT scan is positive (thrombosis within a large elastic artery), the patient will not be randomized and will be treated with a curative anticoagulation. If the CT scan is negative, the patient will be randomized to receive subcutaneous anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin (tinzaparin) either at a curative dose (175 Unit International (UI)/kg/day for 7 days) or at a prophylactic dose (4500 UI/day).
The study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CSJ137 in chronic hemodialysis patients. It is hypothesized that treatment with CSJ137 may improve the level of hemoglobin in patients on chronic hemodialysis with iron-restricted anemia while reducing the need for dosing with erythropoietin and intravenous iron in these patients.
This study will evaluate the tolerability, and effect on quality of life, in patients receiving multi-dose NeoRecormon administered by RecoPen in predialysis patients with chronic renal anemia. The anticipated time on study treatment is 10 months, and the target sample size is 60 individuals.
An observational, longitudinal, multi-center, non-interventional study in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-4, assessed by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) to collect data regarding safety and efficacy in participants with pre-dialysis situation who are treated with MIRCERA in normal clinical environment.
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.
The Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is a recessive genetic condition, monogenic, resulting in defects in the red cell structure. In the investigators' country, this disease affects about 3,000 children each year and is considered one of the most prevalent disorders among the group of existing hereditary diseases. The lungs are frequently affected in this disease by Acute Chest Syndrome (STA). Besides being the leading cause of death and the second leading cause of hospitalization in SCA, the STA is correlated with cognitive impairment frame these patients, resulting secondary Stroke vaso-occlusion of capillaries that supply the brain tissue. Traditional tests of pulmonary function allow assess whether the person has any commitment in the respiratory system, whether obstructive, restrictive or mixed. To run these tests it is necessary that the patient understands and performs a forced expiratory maneuver to obtain reliable results. In the particular case of SCA, performing these tests it is very difficult due to the presence of cognitive impairment of varying degrees. This results in underdiagnosis of early changes in the lung parenchyma during the therapeutic window, committing the proper monitoring and treatment offered to these patients.
Cyanotic congenital cardiac patients require higher hemoglobin concentrations (red blood cell levels) for optimal oxygen delivery to the body. Prophylactic erythropoietin (EPO) and iron can prevent and/or decrease the amount of blood transfusions needed in this population. We seek to investigate if EPO and iron make a clinically significant difference in the number of transfusions given to these patients and the morbidity associated with it.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacoeconomics of treatment with subcutaneous (SC) epoetin beta (NeoRecormon) in participants with hematologic malignancies or solid tumors. The anticipated time on study treatment is 20 weeks, and the target sample size is 60 individuals.
This study will evaluate the safety of subcutaneous (SC) epoetin beta (NeoRecormon) in adults with solid tumors being treated with platinum-based chemotherapy capable of inducing anemia. The anticipated time on study treatment is 16 weeks, and the target sample size is approximately 208 individuals.
The objective is to monitor and quality assure the efficacy, including effects on quality of life, and safety of Monofer® in Chronic Kidney Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease patient populations when Monofer® is used according to the Monofer® label (Summary of Product Characteristics, SPC) in current clinical practice and where standard routines are being followed.
