3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Background: People who have a blood stem cell transplant can sometimes develop cytopenia. This means that their levels of one or more types of blood cell, such as the red cells or platelets, are lower than they should be. This can occur because a person s immune system might attack these cells after a stem cell transplant. Up to 20% of people who have blood stem cell transplants develop cytopenias, which can lead to anemia, severe bleeding, infections, and other problems. Treatments are needed to help keep blood cell levels stable after blood stem cell transplant. Objective: To evaluate the long-term effects of a study drug (fostamatinib) in people with cytopenia after a blood stem cell transplant. Eligibility: People who responded well to fostamatinib in an earlier study. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. Fostamatinib is an oral tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take the pills at the same dose and frequency as they did during the previous study. They will take the pills for up to 21 months. The dosage of the drug may be reduced over time if their blood cell levels are stable. Participants will have a medical assessment every month. This can be with their local doctor or at the NIH clinic. Participants will have blood tests every 3 months. Participants will have a follow-up visit after they stop taking the drug. Their vital signs will be taken, and they will have blood drawn. They will answer questions about their health.

Objective: To test a study drug (fostamatinib) in people who have cytopenia after a blood stem cell transplant. Eligibility: People aged 18 to 75 years who have cytopenia after a blood stem cell transplant. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam. They will have blood, urine, and stool tests. Fostamatinib is an oral tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take the pills 2 times a day for 12 weeks. Participants will have a medical assessment every 2 weeks; their vital signs will be checked, and they will have blood and stool tests. Participants must come to the NIH clinic for these visits in weeks 4 and 12. Other visits may be done by telephone or telehealth; the blood and stool tests can be sent to the researchers from a local lab. After 4 weeks, some participants may begin taking a higher dose of the drug. Participants will return for a final medical assessment 2 weeks after they finish taking the drug. Participants who complete this study and show evidence that fostamatinib has increased their blood cell counts may enroll in an extension study to continue taking fostamatinib.
This Phase 1b basket trial will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of RAY121, a inhibitor of classical complement pathway, after multiple dose administration in patients with immunological diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), bullous pemphigoid (BP), Behçet's Syndrome (BS), dermatomyositis (DM), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
