Leukopenia

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 whether Naderin, an immune-boosting drug, could prevent low white blood cell counts in 79 women with breast cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy. Participants either received Naderin alongside chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. The results showed that only …

This study tested whether adding Naderin (sodium nucleinate) to standard treatment could reduce complications in 75 patients with cancer, tuberculosis, or hepatitis C. The main group received Naderin plus standard therapy, while the control group received standard therapy alone. …

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 the drug eltrombopag in 34 people with moderate aplastic anemia, a condition where the bone marrow doesn't make enough blood cells. Eltrombopag is a pill that mimics a natural protein to stimulate blood cell production. Researchers measured whether it safely imp…

This study tested whether a short course of the steroid prednisone could improve sperm quality in men with infertility caused by inflammation. Researchers measured markers of oxidative stress and sperm health six months after treatment. The trial involved 200 men and compared pre…

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 completed study compared two common surgeries for moderate nearsightedness: FemtoLasik and implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation. Researchers looked at how stable the vision correction was, contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations in 60 adults aged 21-40. Th…

This study tested a doctor-designed dose adjustment algorithm to prevent unplanned delays in FOLFOX chemotherapy for people with cancers of the colon, stomach, esophagus, and other digestive organs. 52 adults participated, and the goal was to see if the algorithm could keep treat…

This study tested a device called PointCheck that uses light to check for severe neutropenia (low white blood cells) in cancer patients without needing a blood sample. Researchers enrolled 81 adults with blood or breast cancers who were receiving chemotherapy. The main goal was t…

This study tests whether PG2, a compound from the astragalus root, can reduce fatigue and low white blood cell counts caused by chemotherapy in women with stage II or III breast cancer. Participants receive either PG2 or a placebo alongside their standard chemotherapy. The goal i…

This study tested whether laserpuncture (a needle-free form of acupuncture using lasers) could reduce low white blood cell counts caused by chemotherapy and improve quality of life in 30 adults with head and neck cancer. Participants received either real or sham laserpuncture dur…

This study looked at 47 people with a rare condition called idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia, where the body has too few CD4 immune cells. Researchers collected blood samples and genetic data to understand what causes the condition and how it affects patients. The goal was to impro…

This study looked back at medical records of 150 children who have a genetic trait called Duffy-null, which is linked to naturally low levels of a type of white blood cell (neutrophils). The goal was to find out how many of these children also have an immune system that attacks t…

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 study watched 225 people with solid tumors who got a drug called G-CSF during chemotherapy. G-CSF can cause bone pain. Researchers measured pain levels and tracked what treatments (like pain relievers or other methods) helped. They also checked quality of life, fatigue, mood…

This study looked at 27 adults with a severe form of primary immunodeficiency, which causes frequent infections, enlarged lymph nodes, and low white blood cells. Researchers analyzed their DNA to find known and new genetic mutations linked to the condition. The goal was to better…

This study reviewed medical records of 122 adults who took TNF-α inhibitors (drugs for rheumatoid arthritis and similar conditions) to find out how often they developed neutropenia—a drop in infection-fighting white blood cells. Researchers looked at blood test results and patien…

This study looked at how the virus that causes COVID-19 reduces the number of infection-fighting white blood cells (lymphocytes) in the blood. Researchers collected blood samples and medical records from 240 adults with or recovering from COVID-19. The goal was to learn more abou…

This study looked at whether a special type of PET scan can help doctors diagnose and treat a rare fungal infection of the liver and spleen in people with blood cancer or those who had a stem cell transplant. The infection often appears after severe neutropenia (low white blood c…
