Filter by:The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ravulizumab to control disease activity in adolescent and adult participants with aHUS who had not previously used a complement inhibitor.
In this study the impact of two CE marked and FDA approved sternal needles in comparison to intravenous access on the flow-rate of autologous reinfusion of whole blood and the possible hemolysis of red cells post-transfusion in a population of healthy military officers is investigated.
The Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), affecting both children and adults. HUS is characterized by the abnormal occurrence of diffuse thrombosis in the microcirculation resulting in the occurrence of ischemic events affecting especially the kidneys and is associated with hemolytic anemia. One of the major problems encountered in the management of HUS is the absence of reliable marker of treatment response or relapse; conventional hematological markers being too insensitive to judge therapeutic efficacy or identify early relapse. Data from the literature suggest that the endothelial cell is a major target of this syndrome. Our hypothesis is that an initial micro-endothelial activation plays a critical role in the initiation and / or relapse of the disease.The main objective of this study is to define a "vascular competence" profile in a population of patients with typical or atypical HUS; both in the acute phase and in remission of the disease.
This is an open, single-centre trial investigating the impact of haemolysis after capillary blood collection to the measured potassium concentration in Plasma healthy subjects. Each subject will have four capillary blood collections on different fingers. Two on the right and two on the left hand. Additionally as a reference a venous blood collection will be conducted.
Prospective, non-randomized multicenter study on the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with bendamustine and rituximab for chronic cold agglutinin disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether fostamatinib is safe and effective in the treatment of Warm Antibody Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA).
Atypical hemolytic syndrome (aHUS) is a severe renal disease affecting children and adults. It is characterized by the occlusion of intrarenal vessels due to the presence of platelet/fibrin thrombi, and leads to end-stage renal disease in up to 2/3 of patients. The discovery of complement alternative pathway as a major risk factor for aHUS has led to the design of a disease-specific treatment, the anti-C5 monoclonal antibody, eculizumab. Complement inhibition using eculizumab has clearly improved the renal outcome of aHUS patients with a dramatic decrease in the risk of end-stage renal disease. However, the optimal duration of eculizumab therapy is still debated. The present study aims to assess the feasibility and safety of the discontinuation of eculizumab treatment in children and adults with aHUS.
The investigators have demonstrated that the mean percentage of circulating CD8+ regulatory T (CD8 Tregs) cells is significantly higher in patients with warm hemolytic anemia (wAHAI) in remission than in controls and is correlated to hemoglobin levels. In vitro, low dose of interleukine-2 (IL2) induce the expansion of CD8 Tregs. The objective is to demonstrate that, over a 9 week treatment period; low doses of IL2 can induce the expansion of CD8Tregs in patients with active wAHAI.
Patients at high risk of IVIG-associated hemolysis (defined as receipt of a 28-day cumulative dose of ≥ 2 g/kg, adjusted for ideal body weight, and non-O blood group) will be prospectively monitored using a standardized protocol for signs of hemolysis, and will be undergo additional testing for variables that have been hypothesized to increase the risk of hemolysis. The goal of the study is to define the incidence and dynamics of IVIG-mediated hemolysis and identify patient and product-related factors that may predict which patients are especially at risk.
This is a prospective, double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter, comparative study. A total of 300 subjects will be randomized to treatment on Day 1, of which a minimum of 50 female subjects must be enrolled that display moderate glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (>=40% - <70% of the site median G6PD value). Subjects must have a blood smear that is positive for P. vivax at entry. Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to receive tafenoquine (TQ)/chloroquine(CQ) or the active comparator primaquine (PQ)/CQ. All subjects will receive CQ on Days 1 to 3, followed by TQ or PQ and matching placebo beginning on Day 1 or 2. Tafenoquine, or matching placebo, will be given as a single, 300mg dose. Subjects will receive PQ (15mg once daily) or matching placebo for 14 days. The duration of the study is 180 days, including screening and randomization to treatment (Day 1), three in-hospital days (Days 1-3), four out-patient visits while on treatment with study medication (Days 5, 8, 11 and 15) and seven follow-up visits (Days 22, 29, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180). The primary safety data collected in this study will help to understand the hemolysis risk to both G6PD-normal and G6PD-deficient subjects. The efficacy data produced from this study will support the results for sister study TAF112582, the pivotal phase III efficacy and safety study of the TQ program.
