Summary: This clinical trial is a Phase 2 study that will evaluate the safety and clinical activity of etavopivat (FT-4202) in patients with thalassemia or sickle cell disease and test how well etavopivat works to lower the number of red blood cell transfusions required and increase hemoglobin.

Summary: The primary purpose of this study is to compare the effect of mitapivat versus placebo on transfusion burden in participants with transfusion-dependent alpha- or beta-thalassemia (TDT).

Summary: The primary purpose of this study is to compare the effect of mitapivat versus placebo on anemia in participants with alpha- or beta-non-transfusion dependent thalassemia (NTDT).

Summary: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 3 multiple doses of VIT-2763 as measured by the reduction in red blood cell (RBC) transfusion burden from Week 13 to Week 24, to identify the most efficacious and safe dose.

Summary: Microneedle (MN) is the mimic of a hypodermic needle, composed of hundreds of micron-sized, out-of-plane protrusions, typically arranged in arrays on a patch that can be applied onto the skin. MN can be fabricated from a variety of materials, preferably biocompatible polymers. Maltose, a natural carbohydrate, is a safe and biocompatible product that can be fabricated into MNs that are biodegradabl...

Summary: Heart failure from myocardial iron deposition is a severe complication for patients with transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia . Increased cardiac iron content impacts the contractility of cardiomyocytes and can also lead to myocarditis, pericarditis, and arrhythmias. The severity of cardiac dysfunction depends on the amount of iron deposited in the myocardium.Echocardiogram is used as noninvasiv...

Summary: This study will investigate the safety and tolerability of SLN124 in patients with Thalassaemia or patients with Very Low- and Low-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome after single ascending s.c. doses and multiple doses in healthy male and female subjects. Up to 7 cohorts of 56 patients with Thalassaemia and up to 7 cohorts of 56 patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome will be enrolled. Each subject will...

Summary: In β-thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), a significant production of fetal haemoglobin (HbF) may reduce the severity of clinical course and reactivation of γ-globin gene expression in adulthood. HbF induction is one of the best strategies to ameliorate the characteristic symptoms of these diseases. Hydroxyurea (HU) is the only medication, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, in...

Summary: A fetal hydrops, also called a fetal anasarca, is the buildup of fluid in the serosa and / or fetal subcutaneous tissue. The diagnosis is made by ultrasound, possibly from the first trimester of pregnancy.~The etiologies of hydrops can be immune or non-immune. The historically classic immune causes are linked to fetal-maternal alloimmunizations in erythrocyte blood groups. The implementation of sy...

Summary: The primary objective of this study is to better understand factors contributing to variations in hydroxyurea (HU) adherence behavior in adolescents and young adults (AYA) with sickle cell disease (SCD). To meet this objective, the researchers will conduct a prospective cohort study to determine the longitudinal relationship between HU adherence and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) overtime ...

Summary: This clinical trial studies the effect of pre-transplant immunosuppression (PTIS) and donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with severe blood diseases (hemoglobinopathies). PTIS helps prepare the body for the transplant and lowers the risk of developing graft versus host disease (GVHD). Hematopoietic cells are found in the bone marrow and produce blood cells. Hematopoietic cell transplan...

Summary: The primary objectives of this prospective mixed-method interview study are to use semi-structured interviews in parents of sickle cell disease (SCD) patients to describe parental attitudes of research involving genomic sequencing, including concerns about participation and expectations from researchers and to use surveys to quantitatively measure genetic/genomic knowledge, trust in health care pr...
