Filter by:To assess the efficacy and safety of an optimised dosing regimen of rhTPO's prophylactic treatment of cancer treatment-induced thrombocytopenia(CTIT) and to explore the cardioprotective effect of rhTPO in cancer patients with high risk of treatment-induced cardiac injury.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune condition characterized by increased platelet destruction and suppression of production resulting in isolated thrombocytopenia. The exact etiology of ITP is unknown; however, multiple disease mechanisms exist and are mostly related to immune dysregulation [1]. Many studies in recent years have indicated that regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in the maintenance of immunological tolerance, and they have been reported to be defective in ITP patients, either numerically or functionally. [2-6]. They inhibit the activation and proliferation of effector T cells by the secretion of cytokines such as interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor growth factor-β (TGF-β) and by cell-to-cell interaction [7, 8].
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the second leading cause of death in patients with cancer, after disease progression. VTE is increasingly recognized as a complication in patients with hematologic malignancies and various studies have reported high rates of VTE. Critically ill patients are at high risk of VTE and should all receive thromboprophylaxis. Given the increasing number of patients with HM (hematologic malignancies) / HCT (Hematopoietic cell transplantation) who develop critical illness, and their often prolonged course, it is imperative to understand the incidence and risk factors for VTE, and to evaluate the efficacy and risks associated with both chemical and mechanical thromboprophylaxis Therefore, the investigators plan to evaluate retrospectively the VTE / PE (pulmonary embolism) incidence in HM /HCT patients at the University of Toronto, and the complications associated with it (including death). In addition, the investigators want to evaluate the use, type (mechanical or pharmacological) and timing of thromboprophylaxis. And lastly, the investigators will determine the incidence of bleeding and of complications associated with chemical and mechanical thromboprophylaxis. The investigators will describe the change in VTE incidence over the last 10 years. The investigators know that patients with COVID-19 infection are at higher risk of thrombosis than non-COVID patients. As such, HM/HCT COVID-19 pts will comprise a subgroup, which will be compared with patients who are not not positive for COVID-19. If these numbers are low, COVID-19 status will be included as a predictive variable in our modelling. The results of this research program will help define indications and safety of VTE prophylaxis; and will inform the development of clinical practice guidelines.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety in Adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosed as essential thrombocythemia treated with the Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2b vs. Interferon Alfa. Study Design: A prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial.
This study now plans to explore the efficacy and safety of hetrombopag in chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in advanced breast cancer, so as to further guide the clinical application of hetrombopag in chemotherapy-induced platelets.
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 is a phase 2, single-arm, open-label clinical study assessing the efficacy and safety of hetrombopag to increase platelet count in lower-risk MDS patients with thrombocytopenia.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of avatrombopag for treating thrombocytopenia in hepatitis b virus related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients receiving artificial liver support system treatment.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by low platelet counts with or without mucocutaneous bleeding (McMillan, 2007). Like the majority of autoimmune diseases, ITP is an organ-specific disease, and abnormalities in the regulation of the immune system have been shown to play an important role in the initiation and/or perpetuation of the disease (McKenzie et al.,2013). Still, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a significant clinical problem due to chronicity, treatment cost, occurrence mainly in, young, and relatively poorer quality of life
Randomized, open-label, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib plus eltrombopag compared to eltrombopag monotherapy for the first-line treatment of adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
