Congenital hematological disorder

This early-phase study tests whether Mozobil, a drug already used to boost stem cells for transplants, can safely raise white blood cell counts in people with WHIMS. WHIMS is a rare genetic condition that traps infection-fighting cells in the bone marrow, leading to frequent infe…

This phase 3 trial tests whether mavorixafor can raise neutrophil levels in people with WHIM syndrome, a rare genetic condition that weakens the immune system. Participants receive either mavorixafor or a placebo to see if the drug helps maintain infection-fighting white blood ce…

This study tested two drugs, plerixafor and G-CSF, in 20 people with WHIM syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes frequent infections and warts. Participants received each drug for a year and tracked their infections. The goal was to see which drug better reduced infection…

This study tested a drug called mitapivat (AG-348) in 52 adults with pyruvate kinase deficiency, a rare genetic condition that causes red blood cells to break down too quickly, leading to anemia. The goal was to see if different doses of the drug are safe and help control the dis…

This study tested a drug called alemtuzumab (Campath) as a first treatment for children with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare and life-threatening immune disorder. The goal was to see if it could help children survive until they could receive a stem cell transplan…

This phase 2 trial tested a combination of treosulfan, fludarabine, and rabbit antithymocyte globulin before a bone marrow transplant in 40 people with bone marrow failure diseases like Diamond-Blackfan anemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. The goal was to see if this conditioni…

This study tested a medicine called BAX 930 in 52 people born with severe TTP, a rare condition that causes dangerous blood clots. The medicine replaces a missing enzyme to prevent or treat sudden flare-ups. Participants received either BAX 930 or standard treatment for 6 months,…

This study looked at the long-term safety and effectiveness of the drug mitapivat in 90 adults with pyruvate kinase deficiency, a rare genetic blood disorder that causes red blood cells to break down too quickly. Participants had already completed earlier studies of mitapivat and…

This phase 1 trial tested a gene therapy called RP-L301 in 4 people with pyruvate kinase deficiency, a rare inherited blood disorder that causes severe anemia and often requires frequent blood transfusions. The treatment uses the patient's own blood stem cells, which are modified…

This study tested whether quercetin, a natural substance found in some foods, could help prevent a type of mouth cancer in people with Fanconi anemia, a rare genetic condition that raises cancer risk. 48 participants took quercetin to see if it reduced certain cell changes linked…

This study is building an international registry of people with GNE myopathy, an ultra-rare muscle disease that causes progressive weakness and often leads to wheelchair use. Participants will complete online questionnaires about their symptoms, medical history, quality of life, …

This study followed 78 people with GNE myopathy, a rare genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness starting in young adulthood. Researchers collected medical history, blood samples, and muscle function tests over up to two years to understand how the disease progress…

This study looked at how often people with certain blood cancers or related conditions have an acquired deficiency of an enzyme called pyruvate kinase, which can cause anemia. Researchers took a single blood sample from 18 participants to measure enzyme activity and check for rel…

This study examined how the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) affects blood clotting in women having planned C-sections. Researchers measured clot breakdown times in 34 participants to see if TXA could help prevent heavy bleeding after delivery. The goal was to better understand how TXA…

This study looked for new genes that cause a rare condition called syndromic congenital neutropenia, where children are born with low infection-fighting white blood cells and other developmental issues. Researchers used advanced gene sequencing on 25 participants to find the gene…

This pilot study tested whether a combination of two drugs (G-CSF and plerixafor) could safely collect enough stem cells from the blood of children with Fanconi anemia for future gene therapy. Only 4 patients took part, and the main goal was to see if the cell collection process …
