Neutropenia

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 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 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 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 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…
