Filter by:Polycythemia (PG) corresponds to an increase in erythrocyte parameters on a blood test. A distinction is usually made between primary and secondary PG. The most common primary PG is Vaquez's disease, a hematological cancer. In Vaquez disease, an increase in hematocrit has been reported to be associated with a logarithmic increase in blood viscosity. The main complications of primary PGs (especially in Vaquez disease) are thromboembolic complications. In contrast, thromboembolic complications are rarer in secondary PG. In Vaquez disease, a hematocrit ≤ 45% has been defined as the therapeutic goal for significantly reducing thromboembolic risk. However, this has not been established for secondary PGs. All in all, the definition of the 45% threshold is based solely on clinical studies with no obvious biological argument. What's more, simply lowering blood mass through cytoreduction alone does not appear to be sufficient to significantly reduce thromboembolic risk. To investigator knowledge, there are no studies prospectively evaluating blood viscosity, its determinants and coagulation in different types of polycythemia. Nor are there any data on the direct effect on blood viscosity of the various treatments usually offered.
AJX-101 is a first-in-human (FIH), phase 1, non-randomized, multi-center, open-label clinical trial designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), clinical activity and changes in biomarkers of an orally administered type II JAK2 inhibitor, AJ1-11095, in subjects with primary or secondary myelofibrosis previously treated with at least one type I JAK2 inhibitor.
To learn if tasquinimod either alone or in combination with ruxolitinib can help to control PMF, post-PV MF, or post-ET MF.
This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, two-arm study to assess the efficacy and safety of ropeginterferon alfa-2b for patients with low-risk PV. Approximately 110 patients with low-risk PV will be enrolled. The whole study period is 108 weeks, including a main treatment phase (56 weeks), an extension treatment phase (48 weeks), and a safety follow-up phase (four weeks).
This is a multicentric, observational, retro-prospective study in adult PV patients - resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea - who are going to receive or have already initiated treatment with ruxolitinib according to the approved local label. Enrolment will last 9 months after the first enrolled patient. Patients will be observed for a minimum of 3 months, in order to evaluate the primary endpoint for all patients.
A multicenter, randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the comprehensive traditional Tibetan medicine program combined with remote ischemic conditioning on high altitude polycythemia.
The purpose of this multicenter observational prospective cohort study is to examine changes in QoL and symptoms in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) during treatment with ruxolitinib (Ruxo), and to evaluate efficacy and safety of Ruxo in a real-world setting
In the current work, we aim to perform a prospective study that will investigate the relationship between maternal obesity (BMI >30 kg/m2) and morbid obesity (BMI >35 kg/m2) with a late GDM diagnosis (>32 weeks), with an emphasis on obstetric and neonatal outcomes.
First-line treatment for patients with polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and pre-myelofibrosis is based on hydroxyurea or pegylated interferon. The objective of treatment is to prevent thrombotic complications and leukemic transformation. Despite overall good response rates, some patients do not respond to treatment and others lose their response over time. Both situations are associated with worse survival and there are to date no clear predictive factors for response although the existence of additional mutations seems unfavorable. In this exploratory study, we hypothesize that biological factors at diagnosis are associated with hematological response at 12 months. We will more specifically study the association between mutational profile, assessed by next-generation sequencing, and cytokine profile with hematological response. This study will help in identifying patients who will not respond to hydroxyurea or pegylated interferon and give the opportunity to try other treatments upfront, in the perspective of precision medicine. On the basic science side, this study will help in understanding the molecular and immunological factors involved in resistance to treatment.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of parsaclisib when combined with ruxolitinb versus placebo combined with ruxolitinib in participants with myelofibrosis who have suboptimal response while receiving ruxolitinib monotherapy.
