Filter by:This is a dose and schedule finding study of AMG 531 designed to assess the activity of AMG 531 to reduce the rate of clinically significant bleeding and blood transfusions in subjects with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) receiving lenalidomide. Subjects with MDS that are planned to receive at least four cycles of lenalidomide for treatment of their disease are appropriate to screen for this study. All subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will receive lenalidomide 10 mg capsule by mouth daily every day of each 28-day cycle. Subjects will receive AMG 531 or placebo once a week by subcutaneous injection for 16 weeks.
This is a phase 3b, multi-center, randomized, Standard of Care (SOC)-controlled, open-label, 52-week treatment study to compare romiplostim to medical SOC for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP), with a 6-month Safety Follow-up. Patients randomized to romiplostim must complete the taper or discontinuation of medical SOC for ITP as soon as medically feasible after the initiation of romiplostim. After the completion or discontinuation of the study treatment period, any participant who does not transfer in to another romiplostim study will complete a 6-month Safety Follow-up period.
The purpose of this study is to identify an effective, well tolerated dose and schedule of romiplostim that is appropriate for the treatment of chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving gemcitabine and platinum.
This study will evaluate the use of a blood thinner, fondaparinux, which is approved for use in adults (not in children) in a children aged 1-18 years. Subject with a blood clot (thrombosis) or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia who need to be on a blood thinner will be eligible to participate. Subjects will receive a once daily dose of fondaparinux followed by blood tests at 2, 4, 12, and 24 hours after the first dose in order to determine the proper dose for this age group. The hypothesis is that children receiving fondaparinux will be able to receive a once daily dose. The currently available alternative agent, enoxaparin, needs to be given twice daily. In addition, an evaluation of the safety of this medication will be made by assessing for side effects, especially bleeding.
The purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to determine the efficacy of low bacterial diet, in comparison to normal hospital diet, with gut colonization by aerobic Gram negative rods and yeasts as primary endpoint. In addition, the occurrence of infections and the total costs of hospital care were documented, in order to identify potential cost savings by the use of either diet.
The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability, optimal biologic dose, and pharmacokinetics of eltrombopag for patients with advanced sarcoma who have a low platelet count and are receiving ADRIAMYCIN and ifosfamide (AI) chemotherapy.
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized thrombocytopenia. Splenectomy is the standard treatment for patients who fails the first-line treatment: corticosteroid. Rituximab, has recently emerged as a promising treatment for ITP. The aim of the study is to determine whether early treatment with Rituximab can result in durable remissions, and consequently, lead to the avoidance of splenectomy in a significant number of patients.
About 40 % of the patients in reanimation are thrombopenics and the causes are not well known (reduction in platelet's production, increase in their destruction...). This protocol studies the epidemiology of thrombopenia for these patients and the impacts of cost and mortality in order to bring patients best medical cares.
This research project is studying the causes for low platelet levels in preterm infants. Platelets are a component of blood that helps with clotting. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the cause for low platelet levels is the same in infants who are born to mothers with preeclampsia and infants who are small for gestational age.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Romiplostim (AMG 531) on the incidence of clinically significant thrombocytopenic events (grade 3 or 4 and/or receipt of platelet transfusions) in subjects with low or intermediate risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) receiving hypomethylating agents. It is hypothesized that Romiplostim administration, at the appropriate dose and schedule, will result in reduction in the incidence of clinically significant thrombocytopenic events in low or intermediate risk MDS subjects receiving hypomethylating agents.
