Transfusion-dependent Anemia clinical trials
Below are recruiting transfusion-dependent anemia clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 9 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT05757245RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and effectiveness of GMCN-508A for transfusion-dependent alpha thalassemia
This Phase 1 study tests a new medicine (GMCN-508A) to see how safe it is and whether it can help people with transfusion-dependent alpha thalassemia. Participants are also expected to follow a treatment plan that includes stem cell transplantation preparation.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 5–35 - NCT06414031RecruitingPhase 3
Transfusion reduction in abdominal surgery with tranexamic acid
This trial tests whether a medicine called tranexamic acid can help reduce the need for blood transfusions during major abdominal surgeries. It's for people having surgery to remove part of the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, or liver.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT05762510RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing a gene-based treatment for transfusion-dependent thalassemia
This early study tests the safety and potential benefit of the LentiRed gene-based drug in people with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDT) who are planning an autologous stem cell transplant. It may help reduce the severity of anemia, but the main goal at this stage is to check safety and side effects.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 5–35 - NCT05924100RecruitingPhase 2
Luspatercept for lower red blood counts in MDS with del5q
This Phase 2 trial studies luspatercept to improve anemia (low red blood cells) in people with MDS that has a del5q change. It also checks safety, especially for people who need red blood cell transfusions and have not benefited from prior standard treatments.
AlessandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05693909RecruitingPhase 2
SP-420 for iron overload in certain blood disorders
This Phase 2 study tests SP-420 to help people with transfusion-related iron overload from either beta-thalassemia or low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. It aims to see if the treatment can improve how the body handles excess iron, which builds up after repeated transfusions.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07338344RecruitingPhase 2
Luspatercept with thalidomide for beta-thalassemia patients
This study tests whether a combination of two drugs, luspatercept and thalidomide, can help people with beta-thalassemia who need regular blood transfusions. It aims to reduce the number of transfusions needed.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05477563RecruitingPhase 3
One-time gene therapy for severe sickle cell and transfusion anemia
This trial tests a single dose of gene therapy (CTX001) to improve outcomes for people with severe sickle cell disease or transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. It aims to see how well it works and whether it is safe, especially after a planned stem cell transplant process.
New York, New YorkAges 12–35 - NCT06647979RecruitingPhase 1
Gene editing for severe sickle cell or thalassemia
This trial tests a new gene therapy that edits your own blood stem cells to help them make more fetal hemoglobin, which can prevent sickling and reduce the need for transfusions. It is for people with severe sickle cell disease or beta thalassemia who do not have a matched sibling donor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 13–40 - NCT06772766RecruitingPhase 1
Study of 9MW3011 in adults with beta-thalassemia without regular transfusions
This trial tests a new drug, 9MW3011, in people with a type of beta-thalassemia that does not require regular blood transfusions. The goal is to see if the drug can safely help manage iron overload and improve hemoglobin levels.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18–65

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for transfusion-dependent anemia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9 recruiting transfusion-dependent anemia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a transfusion-dependent anemia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a transfusion-dependent anemia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
