Evaluate the therapeutic effects health benefits, and immunological effect of Nigella sativa in children with beta thalassemia major.

NCT ID: NCT02761395 Recruiting - Clinical trials for AL-Hijama in Thalassmia Major

Study of The Therapeutic Benefits of Al-hijamah in Children With Beta Thalassemia Major

Al-hijamah
Start date: November 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

1. Evaluate the therapeutic effects, health benefits, and immunological effect of Al-hijamah in children with beta thalassemia major. 2. Evaluate the extent of clinical improvement, reductions in serum iron and ferritin, antioxidant status, in those patients.

NCT ID: NCT02744560 Completed - Clinical trials for Beta Thalassemia Major

Effect of Spirulina on Liver Iron Concentration in Beta Thalassemic Children With Hepatitis C

Start date: March 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Thalassemics can develop liver fibrosis because of iron overload and hepatitis C infection. The latter is the main risk factor for liver fibrosis in transfusion dependent thalassemics. Excess liver iron is clearly recognized as a co factor for the development of advanced fibrosis in patients with hepatitis virus C infection. Magnetic resonance imaging represents the most available noninvasive technique to assess the level of iron in the liver.there is evidence that suggests Spirulina may help to protect against liver damage, cirrhosis and liver failure in those with chronic liver disease.

NCT ID: NCT02744547 Completed - Clinical trials for Beta Thalassemia Major

Effect of Spirulina on Serum Hyaluronic Acid in Beta Thalassemic Children With Hepatitis C

Start date: December 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Thalassemics can develop liver fibrosis because of iron overload and hepatitis C infection. The latter is the main risk factor for liver fibrosis in transfusion dependent thalassemics. Excess liver iron is clearly recognized as a co factor for the development of advanced fibrosis in patients with hepatitis virus C infection. Hyaluronic acid serum levels correlate with histological stages of liver fibrosis in hepatitis C patients, so it has a good diagnostic accuracy as a non invasive assessment of fibrosis and cirrhosis.there is evidence that suggests Spirulina may help to protect against liver damage, cirrhosis and liver failure in those with chronic liver disease.

NCT ID: NCT02744105 Completed - Clinical trials for Beta Thalassemia Major

Effect of Spirulina on Liver Fibrosis by Transient Elastography in Beta Thalassemic Children With Hepatitis C

Start date: December 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Thalassemics can develop liver fibrosis because of iron overload and hepatitis C infection. The latter is the main risk factor for liver fibrosis in transfusion dependent thalassemics. Excess liver iron is clearly recognized as a co factor for the development of advanced fibrosis in patients with hepatitis virus C infection. Transient elastography (Fibroscan) is a reliable non invasive method for diagnosing as liver fibrosis in thalassemic patients regardless of the degree of iron overload. There is evidence that suggests Spirulina may help to protect against liver damage, cirrhosis and liver failure in those with chronic liver disease.

NCT ID: NCT02674607 Completed - Clinical trials for Beta Thalassemia Major

the Potential Immunomodulatory Effects of Spirulina on Thalassemic Children

Start date: October 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible immunologic effects of spirulina in children with beta thalassemia.

NCT ID: NCT02671695 Completed - Clinical trials for Beta Thalassemia Major

Effect of Spirulina Compared to Amlodipine on Cardiac Iron Overload in Children With Beta Thalassemia

Start date: April 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Spirulina compared to Amlodipine on cardiac iron overload and cardiac functions in multi-transfused children with beta thalassemia major

NCT ID: NCT02633943 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Transfusion-dependent Beta-Thalassemia

Long-term Follow-up of Subjects With Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia (TDT) Treated With Ex Vivo Gene Therapy

Start date: January 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a multi-center, long-term safety and efficacy follow-up study for subjects with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) who have been treated with ex vivo gene therapy drug product in bluebird bio-sponsored parent clinical studies. After completing the parent clinical study (approximately 2 years), eligible subjects will be followed for an additional 13 years for a total of 15 years post-drug product infusion. No investigational drug product will be administered in this study.

NCT ID: NCT02626689 Completed - Beta-Thalassemia Clinical Trials

To Document the Burden of Illness on the Quality of Life and the Impact on Healthcare Utilization in (Beta) β-thalassemia Subjects Who Are Transfusion Dependent (TD) and Non-transfusion Dependent (NTD) Receiving Standard of Care

Start date: March 1, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This is a multi-site, prospective, observational study implemented in β-thalassemia treatment centers from 5 countries (Italy, Turkey, Greece, Lebanon, and Thailand). Approximately one to two study sites will be identified per country and approximately 20 β-thalassemia subjects will be enrolled per country (10 transfusion dependent (TD) and 10 Non-transfusion dependent (NTD) with a total of approximately 100 subjects. This study will not interfere with or influence the routine clinical management of β-thalassemia patients. Outcomes of interest will be collected prospectively for up to 6 months.

NCT ID: NCT02604433 Completed - Beta-Thalassemia Clinical Trials

An Efficacy and Safety Study of Luspatercept (ACE-536) Versus Placebo in Adults Who Require Regular Red Blood Cell Transfusions Due to Beta (β) Thalassemia

BELIEVE
Start date: May 2, 2016
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to determine the efficacy and safety of luspatercept (ACE-536) plus Best supportive care (BSC) versus placebo plus BSC in adults who require regular red blood cell transfusion due to (β)-thalassemia. The study is divided into the following periods: - Historical Period, - Screening/Run-in Period, - Double-blind Treatment Period (48 weeks), - Double-blind Long-term Treatment Period, (at the investigator's discretion an additional 48 weeks), - Open-Label Phase post unblinding and upon Data Monitoring Committee positive recommendation - Post-treatment Follow-up Period
