Filter by:The SABRE study is a single-arm prospective study measuring safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of two SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibodies (BMS-986414 and BMS-986413) amongst high-risk special populations of vaccine non-responders. The aim is to test the hypothesis that for individuals who fail to mount a measurable immune response to a routinely offered SARS-CoV-2 prophylactic vaccine or for those who are not able to receive such a vaccine (for example those receiving a bone marrow transplant or starting chemotherapy treatment), the receipt of subcutaneous injection of two long-acting neutralising antibodies BMS-986414 and BMS-986413 will confer durable high titres and subsequent immunological protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.120 eligible participants will be enrolled and followed up for 48 weeks after the one-time dosing visit. Primary inclusion criteria are patients age 18 years and older and either 1) have received two doses of a routine NHS standard of care SARS-Cov-2 vaccine and do not have detectable serum SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike antibodies in routine NHS assays more than two weeks post-vaccination, or do not have protective levels of antibody or 2) be ineligible to receive a SARS-CoV-2 prophylactic vaccine. This could be because they need to commence immediate systemic chemotherapy or receive bone marrow and therefore the requirement to initiate profound immune suppression. Primary objectives are to determine the safety, tolerability and detectable SARS-CoV-2 antibody by specific PPD assay in serum at 12 weeks after enrolment.
The investigators propose to characterize MPs in aHUS and TTP both at the onset and throughout treatment. The investigators believe that the number, size, and cell origin of MPs will differ between these two diseases. The hypothesis is that endothelial derived MPs will be higher in number and comprise a larger portion of the MP population in aHUS and that platelet MPs will comprise a larger number and greater proportion of MPs in TTP. The investigators believe that MP identity and number can be used to reliably differentiate between aHUS and TTP at disease onset.
The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University in China. In order to report the efficacy and safety of All-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) combining with High-dose Dexamethasone for the treatment of adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), compared to conventional high-dose dexamethasone therapy.
Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), also called Upshaw-Schulman Syndrome or hereditary or familial TTP is a rare, but severe disease. The purpose of this study is to determine how infusions of plasma to patients with congenital TTP correlate with symptoms and signs of activity of the disease, and to determine why some patients need more frequent infusions of plasma than others to prevent acute attacks of the disease.
The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other 13 well-known hospitals in China. In order to report the efficacy and safety of Recombinant Human thrombopoietin combining with Rituximab for the treatment of adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), compared to conventional high-dose dexamethasone therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of blisibimod when administered on top of standard-of-care to subjects with Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP).
Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonists (TPO-ra) are novel treatment modalities for patients with refractory Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), but only few data are available for long-term effects of these drugs. In this observational study, effects and adverse effects including evaluation of bone marrow biopsies done at fixed intervals will be recorded from ITP patients treated with TPO-ra. For some patients, blood samples will be collected for research use.
This is a prospective trial of single incision versus standard 4-port laparoscopic splenectomy. The hypothesis is that there may be a difference in wound infection rates, operative time, doses of analgesics post-operatively, and patient/parent perception of scars. However, the technical difficulty is considerable and the primary outcome is operative time which will be expressed in minutes.
The purpose is to evaluate safety and feasibility of the use of Rituximab as an adjunct to standard therapy (plasmapheresis + steroids) for patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). This includes evaluating the rate and type of treatment failure.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the efficacy and safety of higher doses of rituximab to a combination of standard doses of Rituxan + CVP (Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, and Prednisone) in patients with chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP who did not respond to or relapsed after standard doses of rituximab.
