THROMBOCYTOPENIA

This study tests whether a single infusion of umbilical cord blood can safely raise platelet levels in cancer patients whose platelets have dropped due to chemotherapy or other cancer treatments. Researchers will enroll 25 people aged 12 to 65 and monitor their blood counts for 2…

This study tests whether a specially adjusted dose of the blood thinner apixaban can safely treat blood clots in cancer patients who also have low platelet counts. About 30 adults with active cancer and a recent clot will receive the adjusted dose. The goal is to see if this appr…

This program offers eltrombopag to patients with serious or life-threatening thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) who have no other treatment options and cannot join a clinical trial. A licensed physician must request the drug, and the potential benefit must outweigh the risks.…

This study looks at whether giving platelet transfusions only when levels are very low can help extremely premature babies (born at 23-26 weeks) survive without major bleeding. About 2,400 infants will be randomly assigned to a lower or higher transfusion trigger. The goal is to …

This study tests the drug luspatercept in 50 adults with clonal cytopenias of uncertain significance (CCUS), a condition where low blood cell counts increase the risk of developing blood cancers like leukemia. Participants receive injections every three weeks for up to 48 weeks. …

This study tests whether etamsylate, a drug that helps blood clot, can prevent serious bleeding in people who have low platelets after a stem cell transplant. About 404 adults will receive either etamsylate or a placebo, and researchers will track who has a major bleed or dies wi…

This phase 2 trial is testing a drug called Hetrombopag to raise platelet counts in 56 breast cancer patients who developed low platelets (thrombocytopenia) after T-DM1 therapy. The goal is to see if the drug can safely keep platelets at a safe level so patients can continue thei…

This study tests whether giving a whole blood transfusion can help children under 5 with severe malaria and very low platelet counts survive. The trial is enrolling 132 children in Zambia. Researchers will compare death rates and blood changes between those who get a transfusion …

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, called CEPEC, is a large platform trial enrolling 5,500 ICU patients across multiple countries. It tests different approaches to three common ICU treatments: how low to let blood pressure go with vasopressors, when to give platelet transfusions, and how to provide nut…

This study is testing whether a specialized blood test (MAIPA) can accurately identify autoimmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients with low platelet counts. Currently, ITP is diagnosed by ruling out other causes, which can be slow and uncertain. Researchers will collect blood s…

This study is testing whether a fast blood test called ROTEM can accurately estimate platelet counts in pregnant women who have low platelets or severe bleeding after delivery. The goal is to help doctors make quicker, safer decisions about anesthesia and blood transfusions. Abou…

This study looks at the best way to treat blood clots in cancer patients who also have low platelet counts, which raises bleeding risk. Researchers will compare two approaches: full-dose blood thinners with platelet transfusions versus a reduced dose without transfusions. The goa…
