Clinical Trials

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of luspatercept in subjects with MPN-associated myelofibrosis and anemia with and without RBC-transfusion dependence. The study is divided into a Screening Period, a Treatment Period (consisting of a Primary Phase, a Day 169 Disease Response Assessment, and an Extension Phase), followed by a Posttreatment Follow-up Period.

Do ambulatory RBC transfusions improve home functional status?

The purpose of this study is to evaluate pomalidomide vs. placebo in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) with moderate-to-severe epistaxis who require parenteral iron infusions or blood transfusions. A total of 159 patients will be randomized 2:1 to treatment with oral pomalidomide or matching placebo for 24 weeks. Mean change from baseline to 24 weeks in the Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS) will be compared between treatment groups to determine pomalidomide efficacy.

The objective of the study is to identify a population of healthy blood donors that would be willing to donate blood within short notice (less than 6 hours) and to identify perceived barriers to donation.

The purpose of this study is to compare a restrictive versus a more liberal transfusion strategy in high risk patients having cardiac surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of tranexamic acid (TXA) on perioperative blood transfusion in patients undergoing liver resection. The rationale for this study includes: (1) experimental evidence supporting the use of TXA in other surgical populations; (2) lack of evidence in patients undergoing liver resection; (3) clinical uncertainty and extensive support amongst hepatobiliary surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and hematologists for this proposed trial; (4) a feasible and efficient study design; and (5) the importance of the question: incidence of blood transfusion in patients undergoing liver resection is high, and the consequences serious. Participants enrolled in the prior Vanguard ...

The purpose of this study is to compare two red blood cell transfusion strategies (liberal and restrictive) for patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction and are anemic.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the role of HIV and/or HCV infection and/or SARS-CoV-2 on the immune system and potential ways to eliminate the virus(es).
