Filter by:Polyphenolic compounds are very strong Inhibitors of non-heme iron absorption, as they form insoluble complexes with ferrous iron. Patients with hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) have an increased intestinal non-heme iron absorption due to a genetic mutation in the regulatory pathway, leading to excess iron in the body. This study investigates the inhibitory effect of a natural polyphenol Supplement in participants with HH.
A prospective, mono-center, interventional study evaluating the effect of one year initial care by hygieno-dietary advices with or without Phlebotomy on glycemia after at least 5 years in Patients with dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome
Safety, tolerability, and acceptability of twice-daily dosing with deferiprone delayed-release (DR) tablets in patients with systemic iron overload.
This study is looking at the effects of giving early treatment of deferiprone to young children with beta thalassemia who have started receiving regular blood transfusions but have not yet reached the criteria for starting on iron chelation therapy. Half the patients in the study will receive deferiprone, and the other half will receive placebo, for up to 12 months.
Dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome and genetic hemochromatosis are frequent causes of iron overload. Polyphenols are efficient iron-chelators. Investigator hypothesize that polyphenol supplementation can reduce iron absorption in iron overload disease. Iron absorption can be studied by the area-under-the-curve of serum iron after iron oral loading. The primary outcome is the decrease of post-prandial serum iron after rich-iron meal, due to polyphenol supplementation.
This study is a Phase 2 multicenter, randomized, placebo controlled, single-blind study. The primary objective of the study is to compare the effect of weekly dosing of LJPC-401 (synthetic human hepcidin) versus placebo on transferrin saturation (TSAT) in an adult hereditary hemochromatosis patient population.
This study employed a prospective, single-arm, global multi-center interventional open-label, non-randomized design to identify and assess safety profile of the crushed deferasirox FCT when administered up to 24 weeks in pediatric patients aged ≥2 to <6 years with transfusional hemosiderosis. The study was designed to enroll a minimum of 40 patients. Forty-four patients were treated and analyzed.
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and platelets could be interesting ex vivo models to study brain diseases. Indeed, there is no access to neurons from patients. However, PBMC can exhibit different physiopathological mechanisms that are ubiquitous (i.e. oxidative stress, mitochondriopathy with energy metabolism, inflammation, protein folding, iron metabolism and programmed cell death ...). The platelets are pivotal in the healing system with large range of growth factors. A new therapeutic concept of conservative iron chelation with deferiprone for neuroprotection is under development. The action of deferiprone on the different mechanisms and notably the oxidative stress are to obtain from a collection of PBMC and platelets from patient having Parkinson's disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and healthy controls to study ex vivo. PBMC and platelets will be stored for future analyses.
Extend evaluation of deferasirox film-coated tablet (FCT) formulation
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
