Filter by:This is a Phase 3b, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eculizumab in participants with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) in China.
To analyze the dietary nutrition and dietary fiber (DF) intake of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and explore the effect of dietary nutrition and DF intake balance on the nutritional status and pre-dialysis hyperkalemia of MHD patients.
A prospective observational cohort study was designed. 1. Comparing of the clinical indicators between the hemolytic group and the non-hemolytic group,such as End-tidal carbon monoxide corrected for ambient CO(ETCOc),direct antiglobulin test(DAT), the highest total serum bilirubin level and hemoglobin. To explore the role of ETCOc in the diagnosis of neonatal ABO hemolytic disease. 2. Comparing of the clinical indicators between the neonates with IVIG treatment and the neonates without IVIG treatment in ABO hemolytic disease, such as ETCOc,total serum bilirubin level before IVIG treatment and ETCOc,total serum bilirubin level after IVIG treatment.To explore the clinical value of ETCOc in the treatment of ABO hemolytic disease.
This study aims to explore whether an 8-week Triflow breath training program reduced the anxiety levels and improved the heart rate variability and quality of life of patients receiving hemodialysis. To investigate the effect of the triflow respiration training on the improvement of heart rate variability, anxiety, and the quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a rare disease characterized by rupture of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia), low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), and thrombotic occlusion of small vessels (thrombotic microangiopathy), with prevalent involvement of the kidneys. SEU, in its typical form is caused by gastrointestinal infection with Escherichia coli. The atypical form of SEU (aSEU), which is not caused by an Escherichia coli infection, is a very rare disease that may have a genetic origin; it affects both children and adults and may occur in a sporadic or familial form. Many studies have shown that about 60% of cases of atypical HUS are associated with genetic abnormalities of the complement system (particularly the so-called "alternative pathway"), which is a key part of the immune system for responding to infection. Complement consists of a series of proteins that, when activated, create a so-called "cascade," which leads to the elimination of the infectious agent, either directly or through other cells. Complement is finely regulated in such a way as to prevent damage to healthy cells in one's own body. Genetic defects in some of these complement regulatory proteins cause reduced protection of the endothelial surface (thus the vessel wall) against complement activation. Recently, new mutations have been described in a gene unrelated to the complement pathway, the DKGE gene, which codes for the intracellular isoform of diacylglycerol kinase . In these patients, small renal vessel occlusion appears to occur as a result of altered endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis through mechanisms apparently unrelated to complement activation. However, to date these mechanisms are poorly studied. Throughout the entire project statistical methods will be applied to optimize the characterization of the abnormalities in phenotype and function of iPSC-EC derived from aHUS patients with either DGKE or MCP genetic abnormalities as compared with control iPSC-EC, including identifying potential drugs that could correct the abnormalities
This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label, extension study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of iptacopan in participants with aHUS.
This study aims to examine the efficacy and safety of obexelimab in participants with Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (wAIHA).
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate povetacicept in adults with autoimmune cytopenias of immune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and cold agglutinin disease to determine if povetacicept is safe and potentially beneficial in treating these diseases. During the study treatment period participants will receive povetacicept approximately every 4 weeks for 6 months, with the possibility of participating in a 6-month study treatment extension period.
An immediate perioperative parameter that assess the integrity of the Erythrocytes Membrane and therefore their structural quality isn't available in clinical practice and medical diagnostics except through indirect clinical biochemical tests or through the scanning electron microscope. The red blood cell (RBC) membrane contains proteins and glycoproteins embedded in a fluid lipid bilayer that confers viscoelastic behavior. Sialylated glycoproteins of the RBC membrane are responsible for a negatively charged surface which creates a repulsive electric zeta potential (ΞΆ) between cells. These charges help prevent the interaction between RBCs and the other cells and especially between each other. The zeta potential is a physical property which is exhibited by all particles in suspension. The development of a net charge on any particle affects the distribution of ions in the surrounding interfacial region resulting in an increased concentration of counter ions of opposite charge to that of the particle, close to the surface. In this context we present a new parameter that studies the interactions of the Erythrocytes membrane treated with positive ions and their maintenance of the charge. We compared the measured polarization values with the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), expression of speed with which RBCs tend to settle inside a particular graduated capillary called Westergren's tube and Plasma Free Hemoglobin (pFHb).
Hemolytic and uremic syndrome (HUS) is a clinic-biological syndrome related to thrombotic microangiopathy affecting predominantly the kidney. Atypical HUS (aHUS) has been historically defined as HUS occurring in the absence of infectious event. The role of complement dysregulation in aHUS pathophysiology has been largely demonstrated, since C genetic rare variants are present in 60-70% aHUS patients. In line with the frequency of C dysregulation in aHUS, Eculizumab, an anti-C5 monoclonal antibody, has dramatically improved aHUS patients prognosis. Numerous conditions have been associated with aHUS, including hypertensive emergency (HE), a syndrome of acute blood pressure flare associated with end-organ damage. In cases of HE-aHUS, whether primary aHUS is complicated by secondary HE, or primary HE leads to secondary aHUS is still debated. The investigators recently demonstrated that C genetic variants frequency was similar in patients with HE-aHUS and patients with aHUS without HE, suggesting a major role for C dysregulation in HE-aHUS. Consequently, the investigators propose to evaluate, in HE-aHUS patients, the benefit of a strategy with early Eculizumab therapy (used within its marketing authorization and its conditions of refunding by the health insurance in usual care), compared to standard of care including tight blood pressure control. The hypothesis suggests that C dysregulation may impact renal prognosis of HE-aHUS patients. The investigator's aim to demonstrate that early Eculizumab therapy improves prognosis of HE-aHUS patients. Method The HYPERSHU study is a randomized, controlled, open-labelled study including HE-aHUS patients with severe AKI and no evidence of other conditions associated with HUS (infections, autoimmunity, drugs, pregnancy). The investigators plan to include 62 patients. Patients will be randomized in 2 arms: - Early Eculizumab therapy (for 3 months) added to standard of care (tight blood pressure control). - Standard of care alone with tight blood pressure control. Renal function after 6 months is the primary evaluation criterium. HE is a frequently associated with aHUS, and strongly impacts patient renal prognosis. Efficient therapeutic strategies are still lacking for this condition. The HYPERSHU study will allow to evaluate the benefit of early Eculizumab therapy in patients with HE-aHUS and severe renal dysfunction.
