Filter by:The purpose of this study is to study the effect of eltrombopag on chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia is when there is a low number of platelets in the blood. Sometimes, thrombocytopenia occurs as a side effect of chemotherapy treatments.
Based on the assumption that honey may have an immunomodulatory effect, the aim of our present study will be to verify whether the intake of honey, as a natural substance, in patients with chronic Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) could affect the platelet number and hence could affect the bleeding severity. Thirty patients suffering from chronic ITP will be recruited from the Hematology Clinic of the Pediatric Hospital of Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. The diagnosis of ITP will be based on the presence of isolated thrombocytopenia with a peripheral blood platelet count less than 100 x 109/L, and absence of any obvious initiating and/or underlying cause of the thrombocytopenia. Chronic ITP is defined as ITP for at least 12 months. The age of the patients will range from 5 to 15 years, and they will be of both sexes. This study was approved by the local Ethics Committee of the Pediatric Department of Ain Shams University, and an informed consent to participate in this study will be obtained from at least one parent of each patient. Furthermore, an ascent form will be obtained from each patient above 7 years of age.
The aim of this study is to find the appropriate dose of eltrombopag in thrombocytopenic CLL patients, that shortens the duration of the thrombocytopenia and achieves platelet count of ≥ 100/nl prior to the start of chemotherapy containing alkylating agents and/or Purine Analogues.
This study proposes to observe whether a stable platelet count would be maintained without additional treatment in the long term in at least a proportion of patients who have discontinued eltrombopag taken for at least 4 months. This requires that if patients stop treatment with eltrombopag, they are not immediately transitioned to further treatment unless it is necessary. The objective of the study is to assess how frequently patients who have discontinued eltrombopag attain a stable, treatment-free, unmaintained adequate platelet count 4 to 8 weeks after discontinuing eltrombopag and how long such a response lasts (if it occurs).
The PRESS trial is a single-center, two-part, randomized cross-over pilot study in Copenhagen that will evaluate 1) the safety and performance of Mirasol-treated and untreated platelet products stored for 2-4 days and for 7-days in Platelet Additive Solution (PAS) and 2) the correlation between the TEG® parameters and platelet count increments after platelet transfusions in thrombocytopenic subjects.
Phase 1, single-center, open-label, sequential cohort dose escalation study. This is a 3 + 3 design study involving at least 3 subjects in ascending dose cohorts, with subjects participating up to 10 weeks. The overall study objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TXA127 in thrombocytopenic subjects with low or intermediate-1 risk MDS. Evaluation of the platelet response and the erythroid and granulocytic responses to TXA127 will provide preliminary efficacy data.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ONO-7746 across multiple doses in patients with solid tumors and chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) scheduled to receive at least two cycles of myelosuppressive chemotherapy on Day 1 every 21 days at the same dosages and schedule in the study. The secondary objectives are to characterize the PK profiles of ONO-7746 and to explore the pharmacodynamic effect of ONO-7746 on CIT.
To assess the efficacy and safety of administration of rhTPO at different time in the treatment of thrombocytopenia caused by first-line GC/GP regimen for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in people who have myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with thrombocytopenia who have progressed or are resistant to decitabine or azacitidine. (These are the only 2 drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] which can improve platelet counts). The investigators (the study doctor, study staff, and sponsor) want to find out what effects, good or bad, eltrombopag (study drug) may have on people with low platelet counts due to MDS. The investigators will also be testing how well eltrombopag may work at different doses in these diseases.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder manifested as isolated low platelet count which results in a tendency for bleeding. Around 10% of childhood ITP does not reach resolution within 1 year thus becoming chronic ITP. Therapeutic modalities at present are aimed to achieve symptomatic relief, do not change the natural course of the disorder and are associated with potential side effects and increase cost. Thus, identifying a new therapy that would decrease the bleeding symptoms, without causing significant adverse effects, could be very beneficial. Preliminary reports demonstrate a beneficial role for Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of ITP. Working hypothesis and aims: The use of TCM will improve the status of children with chronic ITP and thus will reduce the need to use conventional medications. The investigators aim to study whether in children with chronic ITP, supplementation with TCM, improves the bleeding symptoms and ITP-related quality of life (QOL) compared to the period prior to the intervention? Methods: The study includes three periods: 1st observation period (1 month), TMC period (3 months) and 2nd observation period (2 months). During all study periods the following data will be collected: bleeding symptoms, bleeding score, platelet count, need for conventional therapy, side effects of therapy and ITP-related QOL.
