Filter by:HIT-RADIO is a study of patients who had a positive heparin PF-4 antibody test between 1/21/2008 and 9/25/2008 at selected hospitals. The study will collect and analyse information that is already in the patients' medical records. Information about laboratory values (such as platelet counts), treatments (such as medications), and outcomes (such as blood clots, amputation, and death) will be included.
RATIONALE: Decitabine may help myelodysplastic cells become more like normal stem cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies differentiation therapy with decitabine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to measure the therapeutic potential of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and yeast ribosomal Ribonucleic acid (RNA) fragments to maintain the production of platelets in patients undergoing cytotoxic therapy for cancer.
Proportion who would avoid splenectomy at 6 months of follow up
RATIONALE: Romiplostim may cause the body to make platelets. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well romiplostim works in treating hepatitis C-infected patients with thrombocytopenia.
The present study is a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, two-Phase, sequential cohort, dose finding study to assess the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in patients with solid tumors receiving gemcitabine monotherapy or the combination of gemcitabine plus carboplatin or cisplatin. Phase I of the study will examine safety and tolerability of various doses of eltrombopag to identify a dose and schedule of eltrombopag. Phase II will confirm that the chosen dose and schedule of eltrombopag from Phase I can deliver clinically meaningful benefit(s) to thrombocytopenic patients by improving platelet numbers.
The purpose of this study is to describe the number of months with a platelet response over a 12 month treatment period and to describe ITP remission rates in adults with ITP receiving romiplostim.
The term MYH9-related disease (MYH9RD) includes four genetic disorders: May-Hegglin anomaly, Sebastian syndrome, Fechtner syndrome, and Epstein syndrome. All these disorders derive from mutation of a unique gene, named MYH9, and they have been recognized as different clinical presentations of a single illness that was named MYH9RD. All patients affected by MYH9RD present since birth with thrombocytopenia, which can result in a variable degree of bleeding diathesis; some of them subsequently develop additional clinical manifestations, such as renal damage, sensorineural hearing loss, and/or presenile cataracts. Eltrombopag is an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist that stimulates proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow cells that produce blood platelets. This drug is effective in increasing platelet count in healthy volunteers, as well as in patients affected by some acquired thrombocytopenias, such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and HCV related thrombocytopenia. The purpose of this study is to determine if eltrombopag, administered orally at the dose of 50 or 75 mg/daily for up to 6 weeks, is effective in increasing platelet count of patients affected by MYH9RD. Further aims of this study are to test if eltrombopag is effective in reducing bleeding tendency of MYH9RD patients; to evaluate safety and tolerability of eltrombopag in patients with MYH9RD; to evaluate in vitro function of platelets produced during therapy in patients responding to this drug.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the long-term safety of lusutrombopag in the treatment of adults with relapsed persistent or chronic ITP with or without prior splenectomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the HIT-antibody generation without prior heparin-exposure in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.
