Filter by:Cancer related anemia (CRA) is a common sign occurring in more than 30% of patients at diagnosis, prior to initiation of antineoplastic therapy. Anemia is known to impact survival, disease progression, treatment efficacy, and the patient's quality of life. Proinflammatory cytokines, mainly IL-6, which are released by both tumor and immune cells, play a pivotal action in CRA etiopathogenesis: they promote alterations in erythroid progenitor proliferation, erythropoietin (EPO) production, survival of circulating erythrocytes, iron balance, redox status, and energy metabolism, all of which can lead to anemia. Chronic inflammatory conditions such as cancer influences a compromised nutritional status, which in-turn may contribute to anemia. This study aims to study the role of intravenous (IV) iron infusion in the management of anemia presented in patients previously treated or currently being treated for ovarian cancer. The study aims to identify the safety and efficacy of IV iron infusion on anemia in ovarian cancer patients, and the effect on quality of life and overall survival
The purpose of the study is to explore the safety and efficacy of UCMSC-Exo in consolidation chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in patients with acute myeloid leukemia after achieving complete remission.
Study researchers think that a drug called enasidenib may help people with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) because the drug blocks the mutated IDH2 protein, which may improve blood cell counts. The purpose of this study is to find out whether enasidenib is a safe and effective treatment for CCUS.
Patients presenting for elective cesarean section will be screened for pre-procedural anemia. If the potential subject meets the selection criteria they will be presented with the option of participating in the study. Once consented the participant is randomized by envelope. The two groups studied are: standard of care with intraoperative cell salvage and standard of care without cell salvage. If the participant is randomized to the cell salvage group, the study team will notify the anesthesia and obstetrics (OB) team and will set up the cell salvage system per protocol. The primary end point is to determine the difference in postoperative hemoglobin at 48hrs, need and quantity of allogeneic blood product transfusion, length of hospital stay between the two groups studied. The secondary endpoints Investigate the impact of using IOCS on clinical parameters associated with maternal postpartum stability and well being and include estimation of blood loss, need for pressors, uterotonics, return to the operating room, uterine compression devices, ICU admission, postoperative blood product transfusion, IV iron supplementation, blood chemistry, coagulation parameters, oliguria, diagnosis of acute kidney injury, postoperative dialysis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, oxygen requirement, new arrythmias APGAR scores, anemia fatigue scale at 24hr and 48 hrs, OBSQOR10 score 24 hours and 48 hours postpartum and 6 week postpartum EPDS score.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate, if a change in dosing strategy in oral iron supplementation from leads to an improvement of iron absorption and consequently a faster therapy in patients with iron deficiency anemia. The main question the study aims to answer is: Does a treatment effect (measured by change in hemoglobin after 12 weeks of treatment) exist between daily oral iron supplementation and interval administration (every second day)? Participants will receive oral iron supplementation every second day with double the standard dose (intervention group). Researchers will compare this group with the active control group, that receives oral iron supplementation every day with the standard dose. Participants will present for three patient visits (at baseline, after 6 and after 12 weeks of treatment).
The PKUBC-WF is a prospective cohort study carried out in Weifang city of Shandong, China. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the short-term and long-term effects of pre-pregnant and prenatal exposure on maternal and child health. Data are collected regarding environmental, nutritional and lifestyle exposures as well as short-term and long-term health outcomes of mothers and their children from birth to before 18 years old. Biological samples including peripheral blood, urine, placenta, umbilical cord, cord blood, and faeces are also collected.
This is a Phase 1, single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study. The main purpose is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, efficacy of CNCT19 CAR T-cell therapy in patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia after failure of three or more lines of therapy. Participants will receive CNCT19 cell infusion after preconditioning, and they will receive a 1-year follow-up.
The proposed study is a prospective, observational, investigator and patient blinded study comparing the results of blood volume measurement using the FDA-cleared Daxor BVA-100 device to the Daxor BVA-200 device. Data from this study may be pooled with data from studies with similar design conducted at other sites, for the purposes of an FDA medical device submission.
The overarching objective of this two-phase project is to assess the effects of fortifying iodized salt with folic acid on improving women's folate status. Folate insufficiency is the primary risk factor for neural tube defects (NTDs), which are highly prevalent in Ethiopia. The purposes of Phase 2 of the project, described herein, are to complete a community-based, randomized, dose-response intervention trial of edible salt fortified with just iodine or iodine and one of two levels of folic acid among non-pregnant women of reproductive age (WRA), We will assess the effects of the intervention on women's discretionary salt intakes, markers of folate and iodine status, and incidence of any adverse events.
Anemia of Prematurity (AOP) is very common in extremely preterm infants and often leads to blood transfusions. Folic acid, essential for growth and DNA synthesis, is deficient in premature infants. Despite the adoption of folic acid supplementation, evidence supporting its effectiveness in preventing AOP remains scarce. Recommendations for folic acid intake exceed what's naturally found in breast milk, particularly for extremely low birthweight infants. Practices regarding folic acid supplementation vary widely, prompting the need for research. The FACINATE trial aims to determine if additional folic acid supplementation improves hemoglobin levels and reduces late blood transfusions in extremely preterm infants, a question not addressed in current literature.
