Filter by:Methemoglobinemia as a side effect of treatment with intravenous iron has not previously been described. This study aims to assess methemoglobin levels in patients with anemia following treatment with intravenous iron, administered as ferric carboxymaltose or ferric derisomaltose.
The non-invasive measurement of dysfunctional hemoglobins allows physicians to monitor levels in affected individuals without requiring blood samples or laboratory testing. Nonin Medical Inc, has recently developed a multi-wavelength device that measures carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin non-invasively. The primary objective of this study is to validate %MetHb and SpO2 accuracy performance of the study device. Evaluations will be for the range of 0 to 15% MetHb with 95-100% SaO2 as assessed by CO-oximetry, and 0-15% MetHb accuracy under conditions of elevated HHb (SaO2 80-100%) as assessed by CO-oximetry, and SpO2 with 80-100% SaO2 during elevated MetHb as assessed by CO-oximetry.
This prospective, observational registry aims to collect real-world data regarding the safety and efficacy of ProvayBlue® (methylene blue 0.5%) used according to normal standard of care for the treatment of acquired methemoglobinemia. Methylene blue has been used for decades as a rescue medication for the treatment of methemoglobinemia, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition in which elevated levels of methemoglobin impede the delivery of oxygen from blood to body tissues. However, consistent prospective data about the safety and efficacy of this medication are sparse, simply because of the rarity of the disorder. ProvayBlue® received accelerated FDA approval for treatment of acquired methemoglobinemia in 2016. This large, prospective, multi-center observational registry has been initiated to gain more information on the use of methylene blue in the treatment of acquired methemoglobinemia.
This is an open label, uncontrolled, Phase 4 study including 10 patients who present in hospital/urgent care setting with acquired methemoglobinemia. The population may include pediatric and adult patients (males and females of all ages are included). The study will run in both the EU and the US. The aim of the study is to confirm safety and efficacy of ProvayBlueTM for the treatment of acquired methemoglobinemia and has been requested by the US-FDA as a Post-Marketing requirements.
The objectives of the study are - to evaluate pharmacokinetics, distribution in blood leucocytes, metabolism and methemoglobinemia after single-dose and repeated-dose administration of 100 mg of dapsone in healthy subjects genotyped for CYP2C9 and NAT2 - to evaluate serum through levels, distribution in blood leucocytes and methemoglobinemia after repeated-dose treatment with dapsone in patients with autoimmune bullous dermatoses before and after concomitant treatment with glucocorticoids
A Phase 1 trial to assess the single-dose safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) of Methylene Blue Injection, USP 1 mg/kg in healthy adult voluneetrs.
Tumescent local anesthesia is a procedure which is frequently performed for plastic cosmetic surgical procedures such as liposuction. The subcutaneous adipose tissue is infiltrated with large volumes of a solution which also contain local anesthetics. However local anesthetics, can also lead to a marked production of methemoglobin. New generation pulse oximeters are able to measure SpMetHb non-invasivly. The aim of this study is: 1. to investigate multi-wavelength pulse oximetry as a monitoring method for patients at increased risk for methemoglobinemia. 2. to illustrate MetHb concentrations over a course of 24 hours after a liposuction employing tumescent anesthesia has been carried out.
To establish and compare maximum methemoglobin blood levels and times to maximum methemoglobin blood levels following the administration of the injectable local anesthetics prilocaine and lidocaine when used for dental treatment in pediatric patients under general anesthesia. Patients will be randomized into three equal study groups. Two of the study groups will receive local anesthetic and the third group will not. Methemoglobin blood levels will be non-invasively monitored and recorded throughout dental treatment for all groups using a Masimo Radical-7 Pulse Co-Oximeter device.
RATIONALE: Gathering information about how often methemoglobinemia occurs in young patients receiving dapsone for hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at methemoglobinemia in young patients with hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia treated with dapsone.
RATIONALE: Gathering information about patients with childhood hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia treated with dapsone may help doctors learn more about risk factors for developing methemoglobinemia. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying methemoglobinemia in patients with childhood hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia treated with dapsone.
