Recruiting studies
- NCT06718439Recruiting

Mitapivat for children with transfusion-dependent thalassemia
This study tests a study pill called mitapivat for children aged 1 to 17 with transfusion-dependent thalassemia. The goal is to see if mitapivat can reduce the need for blood transfusions and improve blood counts.
New York, New YorkAges 1–17 - NCT06560164Recruiting
Comparing blood transfusion levels in ECMO patients
This trial tests whether giving more or fewer red blood cell transfusions is better for adult patients on ECMO (a machine that helps your heart and lungs work). The goal is to find the best transfusion approach to improve outcomes.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06019364Enrolling by invitation
Whole Blood Transfusion for Acute Bleeding
