Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate and response duration with the combination of low-dose rituximab, romiplostim and high-dose dexamethasone.
To select a dose and to make a decision for Phase 3 study
The study aims to explore the therapeutic value and mechanism of Interleukin-2 on children with Henoch-schönlein purpura.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a dose dense administration of Rituximab in newly diagnosed acute immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and determine relapse rate following this treatment. Correlative studies will be performed as outlined in the appendices. Quality of Life will be measured using the KIT as outlined in the protocol.
In this study, we will focus on the independent prognostic relevance of the expressions of CD38, CD4, CD56, CD11b and CD19 markers in immune cells with platelet changes in patients with newly diagnosed and chronic ITP.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of R788 compared with placebo, and to investigate the safety and efficacy of long term dosing of R788 in patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a benign hematological disorder characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia. Development of antiplatelet autoantibodies is the main pathogenetic mechanism in patients with ITP. However the exact pathogenesis of ITP is complex in which megakaryocyte immune injury and T-cell mediated platelet destruction play significant role. Accordingly treatment of ITP relies mainly on immunosuppression. Recently triple regimen of high dose dexamethasone together with cyclosporine and rituximab was found to induce prolonged remission in patients with ITP compared with single agent immunosuppression. On the other hand this regimen suppresses all immune cells thus predisposing patient to serious infections, which is the main cause of morbidity in ITP furthermore infection enhances autoimmunity. This study will focus on viral hepatitis C and B infection in Egyptian patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura on Triple therapy and aims to: - Assess and improve preventive measures of blood born hepatitis infection in the hematology ward in Egypt. - Investigate influence of immunosuppression on infection with blood born hepatitis on Egyptian patients with ITP on Triple therapy. - Study the impact of blood born hepatitis infection on clinical outcome on those patients. - Identify risk factors and routes of transmission of blood born viral hepatitis in the hematology ward in Egypt
Aim of the work To estimate frequency of viral HB & C infection in ITP patients who received triple therapy in comparison with another group treated with steroids only. To explore risk factors and routes of transmission of viral HB & C infection in ITP patients who received triple therapy and the another group treated with steroids . - To assess preventive measures of viral HB& C infection in the hematology ward To investigate the influence of viral HB & C infection on clinical picture, response to treatment and side effects in ITP patients who received triple therapy or steroids.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the effect of caplacizumab on prevention of recurrence of aTTP (proportion of participants with a recurrence of aTTP) during the overall study period. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate effect of caplacizumab on - prevention of recurrence of TTP (the number of recurrences of TTP) during overall study period. - a composite endpoint consisting of aTTP-related mortality, recurrence of aTTP and major thromboembolic events during study drug treatment - restoring platelet counts as a measure of prevention of further microvascular thrombosis - refractory disease - biomarkers of organ damage: LDH, cardiac troponin I, serum creatinine - plasma exchange (PE) parameters (days of PE and volume of plasma used), days in intensive care unit, days in hospital - cognitive status of Japanese patients - To evaluate safety profile of caplacizumab in Japanese patients - To evaluate effect of caplacizumab on pharmacodynamic (PD) markers in Japanese patients - To evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of caplacizumab in Japanese patients - To evaluate immunogenicity of caplacizumab in Japanese patients
The objective of this study is to provide simple and relevant clinical and biological elements to distinguish a possible Congenital Thrombocytopenia from a Chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura .
