Filter by:This study aims to assess the changes in the cardiovascular system in patients with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP).
The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of afamelanotide on the severity of skin disease in patients with Variegate Porphyria (VP). The secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of afamelanotide in patients with VP and evaluate the impact of afamelanotide on the quality of life of patients with VP.
This is an observational study collecting patient/caregiver reports on suspected medication/drug-induced acute porphyria attacks, as well as safe use of drugs previously labeled "unsafe" or with unknown risk. Participants will be recruited through the RDCRN Contact Registry for the Porphyrias Consortium. The study will be advertised on the Consortium website and through the American Porphyria Foundation's social media network.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of givosiran on the pharmacokinetics of the 5-probe cocktail of midazolam, caffeine, losartan, omeprazole, and dextromethorphan, and their metabolites, in asymptomatic patients with Acute Intermittent Porphyria.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous givosiran (ALN-AS1), compared to placebo, on the rate of porphyria attacks in patients with Acute Hepatic Porphyrias (AHP).
In the medical literature there case reports that Harvoni improves symptoms in patients with PCT. However, this has never been systematically tested. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess whether Harvoni alone is an effective therapy of active PCT in patients with Chronic Hepatitis C.
The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of givosiran (ALN-AS1) in AIP patients who completed study ALN-AS1-001 (NCT02452372).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of givosiran (ALN-AS1) in AIP patients as well as to characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ALN-AS1 in AIP patients.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the natural history and clinical management of Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP) patients with recurring attacks.
This study aims to provide high quality evidence for the effectiveness and safety of hemin (PanhematinTM , Recordati) for treatment of acute attacks of porphyria. These types of studies have not been done before with either PanhematinTM or the hemin preparation available in Europe (NormosangTM, Orphan Europe). There are two treatment groups in this study. One group will be treated with PanhematinTM plus glucose, and the other group will be treated with glucose plus an inactive salt solution (called a "placebo"). To avoid prejudice, the treatment given to each participant will be blinded (meaning the participants and most of the hospital staff will not know which treatment the participant will receive) and randomized (meaning participants will have an equal chance of receiving either treatment, like the flip of a coin). A placebo-controlled, randomized study is the standard method used to prove treatments are effective and safe. PanhematinTM and glucose will be given in the same manner as is usual for treating an attack of porphyria. For participants who are chosen to receive the placebo, their treatment will be switched to real PanhematinTM at any time if their symptoms do not improve. This is called "rescue" treatment, and assures that they study is safe and patients who need hemin will receive it. Treatment with hemin will be for 4 days, or longer if needed. Since the study treatment is started as soon as possible after symptoms appear, there will be very little delay in providing hemin to those who need it.
