Filter by:This phase II trial studies the effect of acalabrutinib in treating autoimmune hemolytic anemia that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
To explore housing modification as a malaria control intervention, and to assess the degree to which it may offer protection in moderate to high malaria endemicity settings, we propose a two-phase study evaluating epidemiological and entomological effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of housing modification in Uganda. The first phase will be a pilot implementation assessing the feasibility of candidate housing modification interventions, followed by a cluster randomised control trial of the most effective, scalable, and cost-effective interventions.
This Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-finding study is intended to evaluate the safety and tolerability, PK, PD, and efficacy of INCB000928 administered as monotherapy in participants with MDS or MM who are transfusion-dependent or present with symptomatic anemia.
This study is a prospective, single center phase II clinical trial in which patients with Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA) ) will receive a haploidentical transplantation. The purpose of this study is to learn more about newer methods of transplanting blood forming cells donated by a family member that is not fully matched to the patient. This includes studying the effects of the chemotherapy, radiation, the transplanted cell product and additional white blood cell (lymphocyte) infusions on the patient's body, disease and overall survival. The primary objective is to assess the rate of engraftment at 30 days and overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS) at 1 year post-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Primary Objectives - To estimate the rate of engraftment at 30 days after TCR αβ+ T-cell-depleted graft infusion in patients receiving a single dose of post graft infusion cyclophosphamide. - To estimate the overall survival and event free survival at 1-year post transplantation. Secondary Objectives - To calculate the incidence of acute and chronic GVHD after HCT. - To calculate the rate of secondary graft rejection at 1-year post transplantation - To calculate the cumulative incidence of viral reactivation (CMV, EBV and adenovirus). - To describe the immune reconstitution after TCR αβ+ T-cell-depleted graft infusion at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year. Exploratory Objectives - To longitudinally assess the phenotype and epigenetic profile of T-cells in SAA patients receiving HCT for SAA. - To assess the phenotype and epigenetic profile of T-cells in DLI administered to SAA patients post HCT. - To longitudinally assess CD8 T cell differentiation status in SAA patients using an epigenetic atlas of human CD8 T cell differentiation. - To examine the effector functions and proliferative capacity of CD8 T cells isolated from SAA patients before and after DLI. - Quantify donor derived Treg cells at different time points in patients received HCT. - Determine Treg activation status at different stages after HCT. - Are specific features of the DLI product associated with particular immune repertoire profiles post-transplant? - How does the diversity and functional profile of the DLI product alter the response to pathogens in the recipient? - Do baseline features of the recipient's innate and adaptive immune cells correlate with post-transplant immune repertoires and response profiles?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of luspatercept (ACE-536) for the treatment of anemia due to Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) very low, low, or intermediate risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) in Chinese and Japanese participants with ring sideroblasts who require Red Blood Cells (RBC) transfusions.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy, including the incidence of thromboembolism, in renal anemia patients treated with roxadustat (EVRENZO® Tablets) in actual clinical settings.
Scoliosis is a condition in which there is curvature of the spine occurring in the lateral plane. It occurs in structural forms, characterized by a fixed curve, and "functional" forms, characterized by a flexible or correctable curve. By anatomic necessity, this lateral deviation is associated with vertebral rotation, such that when this deformity occurs in the thoracic spine, a chest wall deformity, or "rib hump," develops. Often there is a primary structural curve with an adjacent secondary compensatory curve. Most cases of structural scoliosis are idiopathic and have their onset in early adolescence. Females are affected more often than males, and their curvature is more likely to worsen. Lumbar fusion surgery is usually associated with massive blood loss. In clinical practice the surgeon might measure the visible peri-operative bleeding including intra- and post-operative drainage, but ignore blood component penetration into the tissues, residual blood in vertebral canal and loss due to haemolysis, which are also known as hidden blood loss. In patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), surgical treatment involves a posterior approach with multi-segmental pedicle screw fixation. Although this procedure is generally considered safe with few surgical complications, there are considerable variations in fusion length, surgical time, and the extent of soft-tissue exposure. Consequently, perioperative blood loss can be substantial, and the use of intraoperative and postoperative RBC transfusions are frequently required. Patient blood management (PBM) is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach developed over the last 10 years focusing on improving patient outcomes as well as reducing the use of RBC transfusions. PBM includes several preventive measures to manage bleeding risks, reduce iatrogenic blood loss, and modify decision thresholds for the appropriate administration of blood therapy. All patients for elective surgery in whom blood loss is expected to be > 500 ml should have their hemoglobin checked pre-operatively and be investigated if they are found to be anemic. In the general population, anemia is defined as a hemoglobin less than 130 g. in men and less than 120g. in women by the WHO. It was proposed that the cut-off value/trigger be changed to hemoglobin more than 130 g for both men and women. Women with hemoglobin levels between 120 and 129 g. are not considered to be anemic according to the WHO definition, leaving them at a potential disadvantage when undergoing major surgery
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag when added to r-ATG and CsA in treatment naive East-Asian adult and pediatric patients with SAA.
Background: Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is treated with steroids. But some people cannot take steroids, or steroids don t work. Other patients must get blood transfusions regularly which are time consuming and can have significant side effects. The drug eltrombopag can increase red blood cells. Researchers want to see if it can help people with DBA and, if so, for how long. Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in people with DBA who have not responded to steroids or could not take them. Eligibility: People ages 2 and older with DBA who did not respond to steroids or could not take them, or their disease has returned despite taking them Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and medicine history Physical exam MRI: Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the liver. Blood and urine tests Bone marrow biopsy: A thin needle will remove a marrow sample from the participant's hip bone. Electrocardiogram Participants will take eltrombopag pills once daily for 24 weeks. They will have blood taken every 2 weeks. Participants will have visits 6 months. At 6 months, they will repeat all the screening tests and also have: Quality-of-life questionnaire Neurodevelopmental test (for participants younger than 18 years) If participants blood cell counts improve, they may keep taking eltrombopag for up to 3 more years. If so, they will have blood taken every 4 weeks. They will visit NIH every 6 months and repeat the above tests. Participants will be monitored for up to 3 years after they stop taking eltrombopag. They will visit NIH 6 months after treatment ends. If participants blood counts go down after treatment ends, they may restart the drug....
Evaluate the extent to which treatment of iron deficiency anemia beyond 24-34 weeks' gestation of pregnancy with intravenous iron increases hemoglobin compared to oral iron. The investigators will test the hypothesis that pregnant women who are anemic in the second and third trimester are more likely to significantly increase their hemoglobin with intravenous iron as opposed to the usual standard of care, oral iron.
