Filter by:Primary Objective 1. Define the pharmacokinetics of liquid-formulated HU in infants (9 months to <2 years) 2. Assess the relative bioavailability of HU "sprinkles" compared to capsules in children and adolescents (≥2 to 18 years). Secondary Objective: Compare PK parameters in infants versus older children on this study and those from our previous "Pharmacokinetics and Bioavailability of a Liquid Formulation of Hydroxyurea in Pediatric Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia" (NCT01506544) trial. Exploratory Objectives: Capture information regarding the taste of HU sprinkles using palatability questionnaire. This trial is an open label, single center assessment of the pharmacokinetics of two formulations of hydroxyurea (HU) designed to (1) determine the pharmacokinetic profile of a liquid formulation in infants and to (2) determine the bioavailability of "sprinkles", a novel method of administration for older children. The study aims to generate data to facilitate FDA approval for HU in children and potentially validate a new mode of administration ("sprinkles") that will optimize access and adherence for children in the US and globally.
Thalassemia is different in kids with microcytic hypochromic anemia than general population because there is a confusion between symptoms of thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia in kids and both of them differ in management and prognosis. otherwise the most commonest causes of microcytic hypochromic anemia in kids are iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia and both of them are more common in kids than in general population. Thalassemia is different in Egypt than anywhere in the world because there is no accurate estimation of incidence and prevalence of such dangerous disease in Egypt inspite of many cases attending thalassemia center (hundreds) and this disease is autosomal recessive and its incidence can be minimized by detection of carrier cases by gene study hopping that to be done as a routine premarital investigation.
This is a Phase 2 open-label, single-arm design study with dose escalation by subject cohort . The study is designed to monitor the PTG-300 safety profile, to obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy of PTG-300 for the treatment in β-thalassemia.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of SP-420 and it's efficacy in terms of lowering iron in subjects with Beta-thalassemia or other rare anemias who need regular blood transfusions.
An open label, safety and pharmacokinetic study of oral hydroxyurea solution administered to children from 6 months to 17.99 years (i.e. to the day before 18th birthday), with a 12 to 15 month treatment period for each participant. The study treatment duration will be for 6 months at the maximum tolerated dose [MTD], which is usually reached by 6 months after initiation of treatment. For patients in whom time to MTD is longer than 6 months or not achieved at all, the maximum duration of study treatment will be 15 months.
This is a long-term follow up study evaluating the safety of BPX-501 T cells (rivogenlecleucel) and infused in pediatric patients previously enrolled on the BP-004 study.
Sugammadex is a selective antidote to muscle relaxants rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin, a compound that selectively binds rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. It forms a complex with them in the blood plasma, which leads to the decrease in the concentration of muscle relaxant binding to nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular synapse. The result is the the elimination of neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is used to eliminate neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide in children aged 2 years and adolescents in standard clinical situations. The aim of the study is to prove the efficacy and safety of sugammadex in children under 2 years
This is a single centre、single arm、open-label study，to investigate the safety and efficacy of the gene correction of HBB in patient-specific iHSCs using CRISPR/Cas9.
This is primarily an observational trial in patients with chronic anemia syndromes (sickle cell disease and thalassemia) and control subjects. The key purpose is to understand how brain blood flow reserve (the ability of the brain to increase its flow in response to stress) is altered in patients with chronic anemia. Since this parameter may depend on anemia severity, we will perform the MRI monitoring prior to and following clinically indicated transfusions in a subset of patients. Most patients will already be prescribed hydroxyurea as part of their standard of care. Since hydroxyurea could impact brain blood flow, there is also a small pilot study (20 patients, nonrandomized, open label) where MRI imaging will be performed prior to and following administration of hydroxyurea up to maximum tolerated dose. The study will enroll 90 adult subjects with transfusion independent sickle cell disease (70 SS, 10 SC, 10 Sβ0) and 60 patients with transfusion-dependent sickle cell disease. It will also include 10 transfusion independent thalassemia patients and 20 transfusion dependent thalassemia patients as well as 40 control subjects recruited from first degree relatives of the sickle cell disease population. All eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed consent before participating in the study.
Study AG348-C-010 is a multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of treatment with AG-348 in adult participants with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT). This study includes a core period (up to 24 weeks) followed by an extension period (up to 10 years) for eligible participants. 20 participants with NTDT were enrolled. The initial dose of AG-348 was 50 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID) with one potential dose-level increase to 100 mg BID at the Week 6 visit based on the participant's safety and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations.
