This phase 2 trial is testing whether the drug hetrombopag can prevent chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) in people with gastrointestinal tumors. The study will enroll 40 patients who had low platelets in a previous chemo cycle. Participants take hetrombo…

This study tests whether the drug lusutrombopag can help restore platelet levels faster in patients who have had a stem cell transplant for blood disorders. About 45 adults will receive the drug after transplant, and doctors will check platelet counts at 21 days. The goal is to i…

This study tests a single injection of PN20, a lab-made protein, to see if it can safely raise platelet counts in adults with chronic liver disease who have low platelets and are scheduled for a minor procedure. About 54 participants will receive either PN20 or a placebo. The mai…

This study tests whether a simpler treatment for immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) works as well as the standard approach. Instead of daily plasma exchange (an invasive procedure), patients receive plasma infusions, immune-suppressing drugs, and caplacizumab. The …

This study is for adults with blood disorders who are getting a stem cell transplant from a matched donor. Researchers want to see if giving a special potato starch along with a drug that lowers iron (deferasirox) can help prevent serious complications like graft-versus-host dise…

This study tests a drug called herombopag in people with chronic liver disease who have low platelet counts and need surgery. The goal is to see if the drug can safely raise platelet levels enough to reduce bleeding risk during the procedure. About 101 adults with mild to moderat…

This early-stage trial is testing a single infusion of cells from umbilical cord blood (called XJ-MK-002) in 16 cancer patients whose platelet counts have dropped due to chemotherapy or other cancer treatments. The main goal is to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable, and t…

This study tests a drug called QL0911 for people whose platelet levels drop too low due to cancer treatment. Low platelets can delay chemotherapy and cause bleeding risks. The trial will compare QL0911 to a placebo in 235 adults aged 18-75 to see if it safely raises platelet coun…

This study collects blood stem cells and immune cells from healthy volunteers and patients with primary immune deficiencies or blood disorders. The cells are used in the lab to develop new gene and cell therapies. Up to 850 adults aged 18-70 will participate. The goal is to advan…

This study collects blood, bone marrow, urine, and tissue samples from up to 6,000 people with solid tumors, blood cancers, or non-cancerous blood disorders, as well as from their healthy family members who are stem cell donors. The samples are stored and used in research to bett…

This study looks for better ways to detect lung inflammation and infections early in people who have received a stem cell transplant from a donor. About 40 participants aged 5 to 70 will get regular lung scans, breathing tests, blood draws, and a procedure where a tube collects f…

This study is a large registry that collects health information from up to 200,000 people with blood disorders such as hemophilia, thrombosis, and sickle cell disease. Participants are seen at Hemophilia Treatment Centers across the U.S. The goal is to gather real-world data to h…

This study looks at whether a specific gene, TNFAIP3, is linked to immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP), a rare blood clotting disorder. Researchers will compare genetic data from 400 people with iTTP and healthy volunteers to see if gene variations affect d…

This study looks at how gut bacteria and the immune system interact in children and adults receiving stem cell transplants or CAR-T therapy. Researchers will collect stool and blood samples over time to find patterns linked to complications like infections or graft-versus-host di…

This study looks for substances in the blood that might be linked to fatigue in people with low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). Researchers think a protein called BDNF, which is stored in platelets, could play a role. They will measure BDNF levels in 280 patients and healthy …

This study follows 102 women who had fertility preservation before cancer treatment to see what happens long-term. Researchers want to know if they get pregnant naturally, use stored eggs or tissue, or decide not to have children. The goal is to improve support and care for femal…

This study is collecting long-term safety and effectiveness data on treatments for various blood disorders, including hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and clotting disorders. It aims to enroll 3000 people of any age with these conditions. Researchers will monitor side effects, co…
