Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a severe and life-threatening condition, often affecting the kidneys and brain. It can occur on the background of various clinical conditions. Dysregulation of the alternative pathway of complement may be the etiological factor and this type of TMA is classified, according to the current nomenclature, as primary atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Half the patients with primary atypical HUS present with rare variants in complement genes, although coexisting conditions are often needed for the TMA to become manifest. In patients with secondary atypical HUS, certain coexisting conditions appear to drive the disease and treatment should target the underlying condition to remit the TMA. Recently, the investigators demonstrated, by using a novel in-house developed functional endothelial cell-based test, that complement dysregulation and overactivation is the dominant cause of disease and its sequelae in a subset of patients with secondary atypical HUS, having impact on treatment and prognosis. The investigators did first prove this concept in patients presenting with TMA and hypertensive emergency. A prospective study is needed to further corroborate these findings along the spectrum of TMA. The investigators hypothesize that their functional endothelial cell-based test, the so-called "HMEC" test, can better categorizes the TMA into different groups with potential therapeutic and prognostic implications. Thus, paving the road to the ultimate goal of precision medicine.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of ANX005 in participants with Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (wAIHA).
Primary Objectives: - Part A: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous injections of isatuximab in adults with wAIHA - Part B: To evaluate the efficacy of the selected dose in adults with wAIHA Secondary Objectives: - Part A (Cohorts 2 and 3 only) - To evaluate the efficacy of isatuximab in adults with wAIHA - To evaluate the durability of response to isatuximab and time to response - To evaluate the impact of isatuximab treatment on fatigue Part B - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of isatuximab in adults with wAIHA - To evaluate the durability of response to isatuximab and time to response - To evaluate the impact of isatuximab treatment on fatigue Parts A (all Cohorts) and B - To evaluate the effect of isatuximab on markers of hemolysis - To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of isatuximab in adults with wAIHA - To evaluate the immunogenicity of isatuximab
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.
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a disorder that causes episodes of acute pain and progressive organ damage. Ways to manage SCD have evolved slowly. Treatments do not always work. Researchers want to see if a drug called mitapivat can help people with SCD. Objective: To test the long-term tolerability and safety of mitapivat (or AG-348) in people with SCD. Eligibility: Adults age 18-70 with SCD who took part in and benefited from NIH study #19H0097. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will give a blood sample. They will have an electrocardiogram to test heart function. Participants will repeat some of the screening tests during the study. Participants will complete 6-minute walk tests to measure mobility and function. They will have transthoracic echocardiograms to measure heart and lung function. They will have dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans to measure bone health. They will complete online questionnaires that measure their overall health and well-being. Participants will take the study drug in the form of a tablet twice a day. Participants will keep a study diary. They will record any symptoms they may have. Participation will last for about 54 weeks. After 48 weeks, participants can either keep taking the study drug for 48 more weeks or be tapered off of the study drug to complete the study. Those who are on the study for 1 year will have 10 study visits. Those who are on the study for 2 years will have 14 study visits.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of danicopan as add-on therapy to a complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor (eculizumab or ravulizumab) in participants with PNH who have clinically evident EVH.
Use HeprAN ™ membrane (coated with heparin) should be allow the success of dialysis sessions, with adequate dialysis parameters, in patients treated by long-term anticoagulation with VKA, without addition of heparin perdialytic. Less use of heparin (UFH or LMWH) during hemodialysis session should be allow a decrease of bleedings (moderate or major) and blood transfusions for hemodialysed patients with HeprAN ™ membrane and treated by long-term anticoagulation with VKA
This is an open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ibrutinib in subjects with refractory/relapsed autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
Temporary mechanical circulatory support devices are increasingly used for short-term support in patients with decompensated cardiogenic shock. Recently, a new axial flow pump has become widely available with the Impella System. The Impella has been FDA approved for short term usage. Hemolysis, however, has been a common complication that has increased morbidity and mortality in this patient population. It is hypothesized that a major source of hemolysis in this patient population is shear stress experienced by red blood cells (RBC) as they travel through the pump device. In addition to causing RBC loss and potential anemia, the hemolysis has multiple other downstream consequences including creation of a pro-thrombotic environment leading to clot formation and potential device failure and secondary end organ dysfunction (renal and liver failure). Due to the significant effects of hemolysis in this population, a great deal of interest has been recently focused on addressing this problem, but as of yet no durable solutions exist. Pentoxifylline improves red blood cell deformability and reduces blood viscosity. It is hypothesized here that administering Pentoxifylline to patients in CS who require temporary MCS will decrease the amount of shear stress related hemolysis through the improved deformability and durability of RBCs. We propose to perform a double-blinded randomized controlled trial in patients who undergo an axillary Impella 5.0 insertion for acute decompensated heart failure. There will be a control group who receives a placebo and the treatment group who receives pentoxifylline. Labs will be drawn to monitor hemolysis which is our current standard protocol for the life of the device to determine the efficacy of pentoxifylline in decreasing hemolysis in this patient population.
