Filter by:Randomized, open-label, multicentre study to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of low-dose rituximab and ATRA in patients with steroid-resistant/relapsed ITP.
This is a multisite, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, and parallel study designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Huaiqihuang granule for treatment to children with chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (Qi Yin deficiency).
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of Yttrium-90 (90Y) radioembolization for the management of thrombocytopenia.
This study is a two phase study that aims to evaluate if low-dose Rituximab maintenance therapy may prolong the the effect of Rituximab in immune thrombocytopenia.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) prevail in older age and are characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and peripheral cytopenias. Supportive therapy is the main therapeutic option for most patients. Quality of Life (QoL) is mainly deteriorated by anemia and by the limitations associated with thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and transfusion dependence. The only available treatment for severe thrombocytopenia, in the presence of bleeding, is platelet transfusion. Eltrombopag is an orally bioavailable agonist of the thrombopoietin receptor. In adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), Eltrombopag rapidly increases platelet counts and significantly reduces bleeding episodes during treatment. Eltrombopag is well tolerated. In 2007, Eltrombopag has received the Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of ITP (EMEA/OD/031/07), and in 2008 the Food and Drug Association approved Eltrombopag for the treatment of ITP refractory or resistant. It has been shown that in patients affected by MDS and by acute myeloid leukemia, Eltrombopag neither increases the proliferation, nor the clonogenic growth capacity of bone marrow blasts. Furthermore, Eltrombopag induces an increase in the megakaryocytic differentiation and in the formation of normal megakaryocytic colonies. These results provide the rationale for pursuing further research on Eltrombopag for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in case of MDS. The study is open to adult patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with thrombocytopenia and low- or intermediate-1 IPSS risk (Index Prognostic Score System). Severe thrombocytopenia associated with MDS may lead to death from hemorrhage, even in low prognostic risk patients. The benefit of platelet transfusion is short-termed. Patients become refractory in the long term. The availability of a treatment that induces the increase of platelet count is extremely important, either in terms of quality of life, and in overall survival.
Parents of infants who have been thrombocytopenic for 3-4 days will be approached for consent to enter the study. For the purposes of the study, thrombocytopenia will be defined as a platelet count <60,000/uL or a platelet count <100,000/uL that prompted a platelet transfusion. Following enrollment, the platelet count will be followed in each infant. Participants will enter the study if on day 5 or later after the onset of thrombocytopenia (defined as above) infants either have a platelet count <60,000/uL or a platelet count <100,000/uL for which a platelet transfusion is ordered.
This clinical trial studies the use of reduced intensity chemotherapy and radiation therapy before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate, before a donor stem cell transplant may help stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Reducing the intensity of the chemotherapy and radiation may also reduce the side effects of the donor stem cell transplant.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rHuTPO/rHuIL-11 in the treatment for chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in patients with NSCLC receiving gemcitabine and cisplatin or carboplatin chemotherapy.
This study's goal is to determine the frequency and severity of acute graft versus host disease, to evaluate incidence of primary and secondary graft rejection, to assess event free survival and overall survival, to determine the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment, to determine the time to immune reconstitution (including normalization of T, B and natural killer (NK) cell repertoire and Immunoglobulin G production), and to establish the incidence of infectious complications including bacterial, viral, fungal and atypical mycobacterial and other infections following CD34+ selection in children, adolescents and young adults receiving an allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant from a family member or unrelated adult donor for a non-malignant disease.
This is a worldwide, three-part (Part 1: open-label, Part 2: randomized, double-blind, Part 3: extension), multi-center study to evaluate the effect of eltrombopag in subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy. This objective will be assessed by a composite primary endpoint that consists of the following: the proportion of ≥Grade 3 hemorrhagic adverse events, or platelet counts <10 Gi/L, or platelet transfusions. Patients with MDS or AML and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy will be enrolled in the study. No low or intermediate-1 risk MDS subjects will be enrolled in the study. Subjects must have had at least one of the following during the 4 weeks prior to enrolment: platelet count <10 Gi/L, platelet transfusion, or symptomatic hemorrhagic event. Supportive standard of care (SOC), including hydroxyurea, will be allowed as indicated by local practice throughout the study. The study will have 3 sequential parts. Subjects who are enrolled in Part 1 (open-label) cannot be enrolled in Part 2 of the study (randomized, double-blind); however, subjects who complete the treatment period for Part 1 or Part 2 (8 and 12 weeks, respectively) will continue in Part 3 (extension) if the investigator determines that the subject is receiving clinical benefit on treatment.
