Filter by:The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, preliminary clinical benefit, and activity of BIVV009 in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia.
The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University in China. In order to compare the efficacy, safety and response duration of different dose of rituximab in patients primary immune thrombocytopenia(pITP).
The project was undertaking by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and other 18 well-known hospitals in China. In order to report the efficacy and safety of decitabine combining with dexamethasone for the treatment of adults with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), compared to dexamethasone alone .
- immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an acquired autoimmune disorder characterized by increased platelet destruction and decreased platelet number (cooper N et al 2006) - recent studies have demonstrated that the pathogenesis of ITP envolves multifactorial autoimmune mechanisms of both humoral and cellular immunity and that acute and chronic forms may represent two distinct immunopathological disorders ( cooper N et al 2006) ( Gern Sheimer T 2009 )
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) is a potentially life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy caused by a severe deficiency of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif member 13). Decreased ADAMTS13 activity leads to an accumulation of ultralarge von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimers which induce aggregation of platelets and microthrombi. These microthrombi may involve the brain, heart, kidneys and lead to life-threatening organ failures. In experimental models, magnesium sulfate increases cleavage of newly released vWF by ADAMTS13, decreases the endothelial secretion of ultralarge vWF and inhibits the interaction of vWF with platelets. In another thrombotic microangiopathy, magnesium sulfate has been shown to reduce the risk of seizures in women with severe pre-eclampsia. In analogy with its evidence-based therapeutic application in pre-eclampsia and based on a strong rationale for magnesium supplementation in TTP, we propose a phase 3, double blind, placebo controlled, and randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of magnesium sulfate in more rapidly restoring normal platelet counts as measure of prevention of further microvascular thrombosis in patients with Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
A multicentre, randomised, double-blind,4-stages phase III study enrolled 414 patients with chronic, previously treated ITP. Dosage could be adjusted (2.5~.75 mg/day) to maintain platelet counts 50~250×109/L
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis in children, with an incidence of approximately 10:100 000 children and a slight male predominance (male-to-female ratio of 1.5:1). Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) is the principal cause of morbidity for HSP and 1%-7% of HSPN patients may progress to renal failure or end-stage renal disease. Immunosuppressive therapy has become the standard treatment in children with HSPN, however the use of these drugs are still mainly in an off-label manner in clinical practice. Tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor, has been recently suggested in the treatment of HSPN in children. However, the evidence-based clinical data are still limited. Given the potential benefits and unmet need in clinical practice, the purposes of this pilot study were to assess effectiveness and safety of tacrolimus in HSPN children and evaluate the potential impact of CYP3A5.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy on participants receiving first-line eradication and second-line eradication including vonoprazan (Takecab) tablets (triple therapy) in the routine clinical setting.
Purpura fulminans (PF) is a rare life-threatening infectious disease characterized by the association of a sudden and extensive purpura together with acute circulatory failure. The mortality of PF has been reported to be as high as 50% in previous adult series. Additionally, patients surviving to the early phase of PF are exposed to a high risk of limb amputation. The hOPeFUL study aims at assessing the short and long term outcomes of adult patients admitted in the intensive care unit for a purpura fulminans.
A prospective cohort study of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome patients who have presented with their acute episode and are in remission within the last 30 days. They will be followed for 12 months from the time of their initial scan, followed by a long-term follow up study.
