The drug immune thrombocytopenia (TIM) are the most common drug cytopenias. They result from a peripheral destruction of platelets in the presence of the drug only. They usually involve immunoglobulin G (IgG) directed against either the drug molecule bound to a carrier protein or, by autoimmunity, against a hidden epitope newly exposed as a result of treatment. The most common drugs involved are quinine, some antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or anticonvulsants but the list is not exhaustive. in the case of new-onset thrombocytopenia and after eliminating other possible causes, a TIM is suspected but the offending drug is difficult to identify in generally poly-medicated patients. Several drugs may be suspected and the clinician uses biology for rapid assistance to the "de-prescription" and reduces unnecessary therapeutic substitutions in an always difficult clinical situation. The Immunology Laboratory of the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne has developed a biological test of thrombocytopenia induction in the presence of the drug and the patient's serum that is to say its antibodies and complement fractions with cytometry reading flow. This Induction Test in vitro TIM (TITIM) is simple, fast, inexpensive, easy to transfer in hospital laboratories. But this test must be validated on well-documented clinical cases. The purpose of this pilot project is to validate the technical and assess the clinical specificity of the test TITIM for hard imputability drugs validated by a committee of experts combining a posteriori of clinical and biological criteria of routine.
The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of BT595 in adult subjects with chronic ITP. The primary objective of this study is to determine the rate of subjects with a response. A response is defined as a platelet count of ≥30×10^9/L and at least a 2 fold increase of the baseline count, confirmed on at least 2 separate occasions at least 7 days apart, and the absence of bleeding. The secondary objectives of this study, in addition to further efficacy assessments, are to evaluate the safety of BT595.
Background: Platelets are blood cells that help blood clot. Some people have what is called thrombocytopenia. This means they have a low blood platelet count. They need platelet transfusions very often. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alloimmunization occurs for a lot of these people. They become refractory. This means their platelet levels no longer increase after transfusions. Researchers want to study a procedure that detects HLA antibodies. They want to test how well it predicts how a person will respond to a transfusion. They want to see if it does this better than the procedure that is usually used. Objective: To study the effect of C1q-binding of Class I HLA antibodies on platelet refractoriness in people who get platelet transfusions. To test if this method better predicts response to platelet transfusion than the IgG solid phase immunoassay method. Eligibility: People enrolled on protocols 11-C-0136, 08-H-0156, 03-C-0277, 01-C-0157, or 01-C-0129 who: Agreed to have their specimens and data used for future research Had Class I HLA antibodies detected by the IgG method Had one or more platelet transfusions at NIH after the first positive HLA IgG antibody result Design: For each participant, researchers will look at a small portion of their archived plasma sample. The samples were left over from prior HLA antibody tests. Participants samples will be analyzed. They will be tested to see if C1q-binding HLA antibodies are present. This will be done by solid phase immunoassay. Results will be compared with the past results of the IgG method. Participants data will be stored in database that s protected by password.
Sialic Acid-Extended Release (SA-ER, aceneuramic acid, UX001) is an extended release formulation of sialic acid (SA, also known as N-acetylneuraminic acid or NANA). The SA-ER is currently studied as a substrate replacement therapy for patients with GNE myopathy. The investigators plan to study the SA-ER compound in a cohort of five patients with GNE-related thrombocytopenia.
The early diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is particularly difficult in surgical critically ill patients. If the use of rapid immunological diagnostic methods and pretest scoring systems has been proposed in the medical intensive care unit (ICU), none of these methods have been specifically evaluated in the diagnosis of HIT in surgical patients.
The objective of this study is to determine if pooled buffy coat-derived pathogen reduced plasma-stored platelet concentrates are non-inferior compared to plasma-stored platelet concentrates in terms of WHO bleeding complications in hemato-oncological patients with thrombocytopenia.
Preeclampsia (Pre-E) is a hypertensive disease of pregnancy with multi-system involvement that usually occurs in the second half of pregnancy. Pre-E occurs in 5% to 7% of U.S. pregnancies, and is the third-leading cause of U.S. maternal death. Improvements to the current diagnostic paradigm have been evaluated. However, no stand-alone diagnostic method has emerged that more accurately identifies women at risk for preeclampsia, warranting improvements in diagnosing Pre-E. This sample collection study will obtain serum and urine samples from pregnant women who present with clinical signs, symptoms, or conditions contributing to the suspicion of Pre-E. Samples will be used to evaluate and validate the performance of an assay intended to aid in assessing the risk of Pre-E.
The study aims to investigate immunomodulatory effects of thrombopoietin-receptor Agonist (TPO-RA) in patients with primary ITP, who failed first-line therapy or who became intolerant to it. It is hypothesized that the early phase of this autoimmune disease may exhibit a stronger immunomodulatory potential in response to a stimulus, such as romiplostim. Such a process may subsequently be capable to induce regulatory mechanisms or tolerance. Romiplostim (a thrombopoietin-receptor agonist, TPO-RA) will be administered subcutaneously once weekly over 22 weeks with a starting dose of 1mcg/kg body weight. The dose will be adjusted based on platelet counts as described in the summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).
The primary objective of the study is to check if an subcutaneous (sc) infusion of UCB7665 is safe and tolerated in subjects with primary immune thrombocytopenia.
