Thalassemia

This study looks at the long-term safety and effectiveness of etavopivat, an experimental medicine for sickle cell disease and thalassemia. It involves 480 adults, adolescents, and children who have already benefited from etavopivat in a previous study. Participants will continue…

This study is testing a milder type of stem cell transplant for people with non-cancerous blood, immune, or metabolic disorders. The goal is to safely get donor cells to grow in the patient's body while reducing harsh side effects. About 220 participants will receive a reduced-in…

This study is testing a drug called luspatercept in adults with a severe blood disorder called beta-thalassemia who need regular blood transfusions. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce how many transfusions they need and improve their hemoglobin levels. Researchers will fol…

This study tests whether a combination of two drugs, thalidomide and hydroxyurea, can safely boost fetal hemoglobin levels in people with beta thalassemia major. The goal is to improve overall hemoglobin levels and reduce the need for regular blood transfusions. The trial include…

This trial tests whether a low dose of the antifungal drug liposomal amphotericin B can prevent invasive fungal infections in children aged 3 to 17 who have prolonged neutropenia (very low white blood cell counts) after cancer treatment or stem cell transplant. The drug is given …

This expanded access protocol provides stem cell transplants for people with serious blood diseases like leukemia, bone marrow failure, or immune deficiencies who do not have a fully matched sibling donor. The donated stem cells are processed to remove certain immune cells (alpha…

This study is testing a stem cell transplant from half-matched (haploidentical) donors for people with sickle cell disease or beta-thalassemia. Before the transplant, patients receive drugs to lower their immune system, which may reduce the risk of serious side effects like graft…

This study tests a new gene therapy for adults with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia, a severe blood disorder. Doctors take the patient's own blood stem cells, add a healthy gene to make normal hemoglobin, and return the cells. The goal is to reduce or stop the need for reg…

This study tests a one-time treatment called CTX001, which uses CRISPR gene editing to modify a patient's own stem cells to produce more fetal hemoglobin. The goal is to reduce or eliminate the need for blood transfusions in people with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia or s…

This Phase 2 study tests an oral drug called AND017 in 64 people with β-thalassemia, a blood disorder that often requires regular transfusions. Half the participants get the drug, half get a placebo, and everyone continues standard care. The goal is to see if AND017 is safe and c…

This program offers extra stem cells from a half-matched family donor to patients who are getting a cord blood transplant for serious blood cancers or immune disorders. The goal is to help the bone marrow recover more quickly while the cord blood cells take over permanently. It i…

This early study tests a new type of stem cell transplant called 'super transplant' for children aged 7-12 with severe thalassemia. Unlike standard transplants, this one does not require chemotherapy beforehand and aims to avoid graft-versus-host disease. Only 5 participants will…

This study aims to measure how long red blood cells survive in people with sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other inherited blood disorders. Researchers will take a blood sample, label the red cells with biotin (a vitamin), and infuse them back into the participant. Over up …

This study collects blood samples and health information from 375 people with non-cancerous blood disorders like aplastic anemia, sickle cell disease, or thalassemia who are receiving a stem cell transplant or gene therapy. The goal is to create a biobank that helps researchers u…

This study is collecting long-term safety and effectiveness data on treatments for various blood disorders, including hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and clotting disorders. It aims to enroll 3000 people of any age with these conditions. Researchers will monitor side effects, co…

This study looks at 350 adults with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia to find differences between those who have atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) and those who do not. Researchers will compare clinical tests, lab results, and imaging to better understand t…

This study is for people with sickle cell disease or other rare anemias. Researchers want to use advanced genetic and blood tests to better understand each person's condition. The goal is to make diagnosis more precise so that treatments can be tailored to each patient. About 200…
