Filter by:This is a single group, open label study in 10 subjects who are 8 years of age or older with beta-thalassemia major. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transduced with lentiviral vector for the treatment of beta-thalassemia major.
OTL-300 is a gene therapy drug product consisting of autologous hematopoietic stem/progenitor cluster of differentiation (CD) 34+ cells genetically modified with a lentiviral vector (GLOBE) encoding the human beta globin gene. The TIGET-BTHAL is a phase I/II study evaluating safety and efficacy of OTL-300 in subjects with transfusion dependent beta-thalassemia for two years post gene-therapy. Subjects with rare disease who have undergone gene therapy are followed for efficacy and possible delayed adverse events. Thus, this study is designed to follow patients who have received gene therapy on TIGET-BTHAL for an additional six years (for a total of eight years).
This proof-of-mechanism study is being performed to investigate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of multiple oral doses of bitopertin in adults with NTD beta-thalassemia. This study consists of two parts: Part 1 - The main study - 16 weeks in total: Participants will undergo a 6-week dose-escalation period followed by 10 weeks of treatment at the attained target dose. Part 2 - Open Label Extension (OLE) - up to an additional 12 months. Participants will be given the option to enroll into the OLE once the 16-week treatment of Part 1 has been completed. Participants who decide not to enroll in the OLE, at the end of Part 1 will enter a 6-week follow-up period.
In order to study the transplantation effect of hematopoetic stem cells from beta-thalassemia induced pluripotent stem cells. We applied clinical grade source of autologous hematopoietic stem cell for the treatment of beta-thalassemia patients, detecting the homing of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells in vivo and the hemoglobin beta-chain (HBB) protein expression in the body of recovery, etc., as well as to make a research on the efficacy and safety of hematopoietic stem cells from beta-thalassemia induced pluripotent stem cells.
This is a single-arm, multi-site, single-dose, Phase 3 study in approximately 18 participants less than or equal to (<=) 50 years of age with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT), who have a β0/β0, β0/IVS-I-110, or IVS-I-110/IVS-I-110 genotype. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using LentiGlobin BB305 Drug Product.
Objectives Primary objectives: - To determine the efficacy of Hydroxyurea in the study participants. - Hypothesis: The study will result in either maintenance or rise in hemoglobin as compared to the control treatment. Secondary objectives: - To determine the compliance of Hydroxyurea in study participants. - To determine the safety of Hydroxyurea in the study participants. Design and Outcomes An open label randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy and safety of Hydroxyurea on beta thalassemia major patients. It is a six months study. Findings of physical examination, vital sign variables, laboratory variables and ultrasound at baseline, during and end of the study will be listed. Schedule of intervention is mentioned in section 6.1. later in the protocol. Interventions and Duration Hydroxyurea will be given to the participants in intervention arm along with the standard treatment if thalassemia (blood transfusion and iron chelation therapy) and the control arm will receive the standard treatment (blood transfusion and iron chelation therapy) only. Each participant will be followed up for 6 months after initiating the intervention. Intervention will be given for 6 months or until the participant withdraws from the study or due to any reason, the investigator stops the intervention. Sample Size and Population This pilot study will be done on 100 patients initially. Stratified randomization will be done on the basis of presence of Xmn polymorphism. And the study population will be assigned to intervention or control arm randomly through a computer software (randomizer.org).
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with thalassemia major.
Every year, 100,000 neonates are born with hemoglobinopathies around the world. Thalassemia is the most common heterogeneous disease of the human being . It is a disease of high prevalence in Mediterranean, Indian, North Chinese, and Pacific populations. Recently, the quantity and quality of the life of these patients have been significantly improved by regular transfusion and iron chelating therapy .
Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families in which the body makes an abnormal form of hemoglobin. There are 2 main types of thalassemia; Alpha & Beta thalassemia. Alpha thalassemia: occurs when a gene or genes related to the alpha globin protein are missing or mutated. Beta-thalassemia syndromes are a group of hereditary blood disorders characterized by reduced or absent beta globin chain synthesis. Beta-thalassemias can be classified into: Silent carrier: completely asymptomatic with normal hematological parameters. Beta-thalassaemia minor (beta-thalassaemia trait): usually asymptomatic; diagnosis is made during a work-up for mild anemia. Beta-thalassaemia intermedia: usually a similar presentation to beta-thalassaemia major; symptoms are usually less pronounced and the course is usually more insidious. Beta-thalassaemia major : In which there is complete absence of hemoglobin A
The study will investigate the relation between erythrocyte glutamine/glutamate ratio and pulmonary hypertension risk in Egyptian thalassemic children in Assiut University Children Hospital
