Filter by:The goal of this National Registry is to is to collect information from patients with rare kidney diseases, so that it that can be used for research. The purpose of this research is to: - Develop Clinical Guidelines for specific rare kidney diseases. These are written recommendations on how to diagnose and treat a medical condition. - Audit treatments and outcomes. An audit makes checks to see if what should be done is being done and asks if it could be done better. - Further the development of future treatments. Participants will be invited to participate on clinical trials and other studies. The registry has the capacity to feedback relevant information to patients and in conjunction with Patient Knows Best (Home - Patients Know Best), allows patients to provide information themselves, including their own reported quality of life and outcome measures.
This phase II trial tests whether treosulfan, fludarabine, and rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) work when given before a blood or bone marrow transplant (conditioning regimen) to cause fewer complications for patients with bone marrow failure diseases. Chemotherapy drugs, such as treosulfan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Fludarabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. rATG is used to decrease the body's immune response and may improve bone marrow function and increase blood cell counts. Adding treosulfan to a conditioning regimen with fludarabine and rATG may result in patients having less severe complications after a blood or bone marrow transplant.
Autoimmune cytopenia, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), Evans syndrome (ES), usually has good responses to steroids therapies as first line, but there is a considerable percentage of patients who relapse, become refractory or dependent on steroids to maintain an acceptable level of hemoglobin or platelets. The effects of the second line therapy are also not satisfactory and sometimes not available. The investigators aim to explore the efficacy and side-effect of tacrolimus for refractory autoimmune cytopenia.
Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a kind of anemia characterized by severe reticulocytopenia and obvious bone marrow erythroblastic cells decreased. Cyclosporine and /or steroids are the first line therapy but some patients were refractory or intolerance to the treatment. The effects of the second line therapy are also not satisfactory and sometimes not available. The investigators aim to explore the efficacy and side-effect of tacrolimus for refractory PRCA.
The aim of this study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) who have a matched related major ABO-incompatible donor. The nonmyeloablative regimen will use alemtuzumab, total body irradiation (TBI) and sirolimus for immune suppression. This study will expand the access of HSCT for patients with SCD who are currently not eligible because of donor restrictions.
