257 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study is being done to determine the feasibility and safety of using a novel dose adjusted apixaban for the management of participants with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (blood clot) or and thrombocytopenia (low number of platelets in the blood). Investigators are also looking to see if participants on this treatment have fewer bleeding episodes. The name of the study drug involved in this study is: -Apixiban (a type of anticoagulant)
The purpose of the research project is to collect one blood sample from participants who are affected by very low platelets as a result of their condition or their treatment.
This is an open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of HMPL-523 in adult subjects with ITP.
The main purpose of this study with corresponding optional expansion is to evaluate the efficacy of selinexor in JAKi-naïve participants with myelofibrosis (MF) and moderate thrombocytopenia based on spleen volume reduction (SVR). Additional efficacy and safety parameters will also be assessed during the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VLX-1005, a 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) enzyme inhibitor in treating heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Participants with suspected HIT will receive the usual standard of care, and will be assigned randomly to either VLX-1005 or placebo treatment. The study will measure important outcomes including platelet count, stroke, pulmonary embolus (clot to the lungs) and bleeding.
The purpose of this study is to determine if using avatrombopag in patients with thrombocytopenia due to temozolomide treatment can safely improve a patient's platelet count and allow the patient to complete the temozolomide treatment course as planned.
Fostamatinib may improve thrombocytopenia in myelofibrosis patients with severe thrombocytopenia (platelet \<50,000/microL) and allow them to initiate treatment with a JAK2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib. Additionally, fostamatinib monotherapy may also improve myelofibrosis related symptoms and splenomegaly.
This is a prospective observational study that was designed with the following two Specific Aims: 1. To determine whether the Immature Platelet Fraction percentage (IPF%) and the Immature Platelet Count (IPC) are better predictors of bleeding than the platelet count alone in neonates of different gestational and post-conceptional ages and with different etiologies of thrombocytopenia; and 2. To characterize the effects of neonatal thrombocytopenia and platelet transfusions (PLT Tx) on bleeding and on markers of systemic inflammation, thrombosis, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) formation in neonates with different underlying conditions.

Background: Antithrombotic therapy in the context of treatment related thrombocytopenia (i.e. low levels of platelets) is not uncommon. Guidelines are based upon a paucity of retrospective data and focus on the scenario of cancer associated venous thrombosis and low molecular weight heparin treatment. Even less is known regarding direct oral anticoagulants, antiplatelet therapy, or anticoagulation prescribed for other indications. Aims: The study aims are to evaluate how physicians manage anticoagulant and antiplatelet medication in patients with hematological malignancy and thrombocytopenia, and to assess the frequency of bleeding and thrombosis. Additional aims are to assess how management changes affect drug activity and blood clotting (coagulation), and to evaluate the use of platelet transfusions. Design: The investigators plan a multinational prospective registry of patients admitted to the inpatient hematology department or outpatient clinic at one of the study centers. Patients with hematological malignancies, platelets below 50 X 109/L, and anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet medication will be studied. Patients will be enrolled when the combination of antiplatelet/anticoagulant medication and thrombocytopenia is first detected. Patients will be followed until 30 days after the baseline study visit (which occurs 30 days after enrollment or when platelets \< 50\*109/L, whichever come first) or death. Patients will be indexed at the time of baseline visit. Patients will be excluded from study analysis if one of the following events occurs before study index: Withdrawal of consent, death, clinically-relevant non-major bleeding or the composite primary outcome. Risk factors for bleeding and thrombosis will be recorded at baseline. Parameters from routine blood tests will be recorded throughout the study. During the study major bleeding events and thrombosis will be recorded. Investigational blood tests assessing coagulation and drug activity will be drawn at baseline (=study index). Throughout the study all management decisions regarding antithrombotic therapy, including platelet and red blood cell transfusion, will be recorded. This is an observational study and management will be solely at the discretion of the physician. Analysis: The investigators will first look at the frequency of either bleeding or thrombosis according to the type of management strategy and evaluate the platelet threshold at which a given management strategy is employed. At the next stage, in selected subgroups, the optimal management strategy with respect to bleeding/thrombotic risk, will be determined.
This pilot clinical trial compares the safety of two different platelet transfusion "thresholds" among patients with blood cancer or treatment-induced thrombocytopenia whose condition requires anticoagulant medication (blood thinners) for blood clots. Giving relatively fewer platelet transfusions may reduce the side effects of frequent platelet transfusions without leading to undue bleeding.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of Yttrium-90 (90Y) radioembolization for the management of thrombocytopenia.
This is a prospective, multi-center, controlled, randomized, non-inferiority study to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Conventional versus Mirasol-treated apheresis platelets in subjects with hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia who are expected to have platelet count(s) ≤ 10,000/μL requiring ≥ 2 platelet transfusions.
Parents of infants who have been thrombocytopenic for 3-4 days will be approached for consent to enter the study. For the purposes of the study, thrombocytopenia will be defined as a platelet count \<60,000/uL or a platelet count \<100,000/uL that prompted a platelet transfusion. Following enrollment, the platelet count will be followed in each infant. Participants will enter the study if on day 5 or later after the onset of thrombocytopenia (defined as above) infants either have a platelet count \<60,000/uL or a platelet count \<100,000/uL for which a platelet transfusion is ordered.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of antifibrinolytic therapy with tranexamic acid (TXA) in preventing bleeding in patients who are thrombocytopenic due to primary bone marrow disorders or chemotherapy, immunotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
The purpose of this research is to identify genomic markers that can predict heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), which is a very serious side effect to heparin. Heparin is commonly used to prevent blood clots and the investigators may be able to identify genomic markers which can be used to prevent heparin use in people who will get HIT.
This is a prospective longitudinal study that evaluates Platelet Function Analyzer-100 (PFA-100) CT-ADPs (closure time-ADP) and incidence of bleeding using the Neonatal Bleeding Assessment Tool - Neo-BAT in preterm neonates \<32 weeks gestational age or with a birth weight \<1500 grams and with different degrees of thrombocytopenia. The investigators hypothesized that PFA-100 CT-ADP, a global in vitro test of primary hemostasis, will be a better predictor of clinical bleeding in neonates than platelet count alone. A bleeding risk assessment marker could help physicians more accurately determine the risk/benefit ratio of platelet transfusions, guiding platelet transfusion decisions in neonates with thrombocytopenia.
Background: - Platelets are tiny cells in the blood that help stop bleeding. Thrombocytopenia happens when people do not have enough normal platelets. Getting a transfusion of another person s platelets can help stop too much bleeding. But because these cells are from other people, the body may reject them,putting them at risk for serious bleeding complications. This conditions is called alloimmune platelet refractoriness . There are evidence that in many patients, platelet counts fail to increase after a platelet transfusion because the transfused platelets are destroyed by the body s defence soldier, called complement . Researchers want to see if a drug, that inhibits complement, can help increase platelet levels and reduce bleeding Objectives: - To see if eculizumab increases platelet levels more after a transfusion. To see if it reduces the chance of bleeding too much. Eligibility: - Adults 18-75 years old who have thrombocytopenia and alloimmune platelet refractoriness. Design: * Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. * Participants will have the procedures listed below. They can have them while they are in the hospital. Or they can go to the outpatient clinic for them. Each visit may take up to 3 hours. * Participants will get a meningitis vaccine if needed. Then they will get the study drug as an infusion. * Participants will have a platelet transfusion. Their blood will be drawn every 24 hours until the platelet count is less than 10,000 per 1 microliter of blood. * They will take antibiotics for 14 days. * Participants will have a checkup and blood drawn twice a week for 2 weeks. They will get more transfusions if needed.
Phase 3, randomized, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral pacritinib compared to Best Available Therapy (BAT) in patients with thrombocytopenia and primary or secondary myelofibrosis.
This study is to determine if using weekly romiplostim injections will improve the patient's platelet count more effectively than simply waiting for the platelets to improve on its own, and if romiplostim will also allow the patient to receive at least 2 further cycles of chemotherapy without thrombocytopenia.
This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study using avatrombopag to treat adults with thrombocytopenia associated with liver disease. The study will evaluate avatrombopag in the treatment of thrombocytopenia associated with liver disease prior to an elective procedure to reduce the need for platelet transfusions or any rescue procedure for bleeding due to procedural and post-procedural bleeding complications. Participants will be enrolled into 2 cohorts according to mean baseline platelet count and, within each baseline platelet count cohort will be further stratified by risk of bleeding associated with the elective procedure (low, moderate, or high) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) status (Yes or No).

To utilise extended platelet parameters in order to individuate Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) from hypo-proliferative causes of thrombocytopenia. To develop the clinical potential of the extended platelet parameters as they pertain to distinguishing different causes of thrombocytopenia from one another. To test the hypothesis that mean platelet component (MPC) and mean platelet mass (MPM) might distinguish between thrombocytopenia related to bone marrow dysfunction and immune mediated destruction of platelets.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of eltrombopag in children with previously treated chronic immune thrombocytopenia who are between 1 and 17 years of age. This is a 2 part study. In part 1, patients will be randomized to receive either eltrombopag or placebo for 13 weeks. All patients who complete part 1 will enter part 2. In part 2, all patients will receive 24 weeks of eltrombopag.
Eltrombopag is a compound that may help stimulate the production of platelets. This drug has been used in treatment of low platelet counts caused by a disorder called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and information from those other research studies suggests that Eltrombopag may help to maintain platelet counts in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma in this research study. In this research study,the investigators are trying to determine if Eltrombopag is effective in maintaining platelet counts in patients who are being treated for relapsed multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of romiplostim in the treatment of thrombocytopenia in pediatric patients with Immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) as measured by durable platelet response.
This phase II/III trial studies how well eltrombopag olamine works in treating thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia or myelofibrosis receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
