Pyruvate kinase deficiency of red cells

This phase 3 trial tests the drug mitapivat in children aged 1 to 18 with pyruvate kinase deficiency, a rare genetic disorder that causes red blood cells to break down too quickly. These children need regular blood transfusions. The study compares mitapivat to a placebo to see if…

This study offers continued access to the drug mitapivat for adults with pyruvate kinase deficiency who completed an earlier Agios-sponsored trial and cannot get the drug commercially. Only 6 participants are enrolled, and the main goal is to monitor side effects. The study does …

This study tests a drug called mitapivat in children aged 1 to 18 with pyruvate kinase deficiency, a rare genetic condition that causes red blood cells to break down too quickly, leading to anemia. The trial compares mitapivat to a placebo to see if it can raise hemoglobin levels…

This study tests a gene therapy for people with pyruvate kinase deficiency, a rare blood disorder causing severe anemia. Ten participants will receive their own blood stem cells modified with a healthy gene to help produce normal red blood cells. The goal is to raise hemoglobin l…

This phase 2 trial tests whether the drug itacitinib, given with standard care, can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people who receive a donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers. GVHD happens when the donor cells attack the patient's body. The study includes 31 ad…

This study tests a special treatment for red blood cells that aims to kill the Zika virus, making transfusions safer. About 692 people who need blood transfusions will receive either treated or standard blood. The goal is to see if the treated blood works just as well and is safe…

This study tests a new approach to stem cell transplants for people with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. Patients receive a combination of umbilical cord blood and stem cells from a family member, with the cord blood chosen based on specific genetic markers rather than …

This study tests new vitamin and mineral supplements called EasiVits for children aged 1-16 with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). These supplements have less carbohydrate and no flavor, so they can be used with different diets and kids can add their own taste. The goal is to se…

This pilot study tests whether a daily mindful music listening program is practical and acceptable for patients hospitalized after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. About 35 adults will listen to music for one hour each day using a web-based platform. The study measures how fea…

This study looks at whether adding art therapy to physical therapy can help children aged 5 to 18 recover emotionally and physically after a stem cell transplant. For two weeks, some children receive both art and physical therapy daily, while others get only physical therapy. Res…

This study is a global registry that will follow about 500 people with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, a rare inherited anemia, for up to 9 years. Researchers will collect medical data to better understand the disease's natural history, treatments, and complications. No new drug…

This study will collect and analyze genetic data from 1000 people with suspected inherited metabolic diseases, including conditions like epilepsy and mitochondrial disorders. Researchers at Karolinska University Hospital aim to improve diagnosis by using advanced genetic testing …

This study was designed to track how COVID-19 infection might worsen the condition of people with inherited metabolic diseases (IMD). Researchers planned to collect information from French patients with IMD who had or had COVID-19 to see how often their metabolic disease got wors…

This study follows 50 young men who had cancer or blood disorders as children and received treatments that can harm fertility. Some stored testicular tissue before treatment; others did not. Researchers will check their fertility through exams, ultrasounds, blood tests, and semen…
