Study of a new drug to treat anemia in adults with low to intermediate risk MDS who need transfusions
This study tests a new drug called elritercept for people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who have low blood counts and need regular blood transfusions. The drug aims to boost red blood cell production and reduce or eliminate the need for transfusions, which can improve energy and quality of life.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06487247Recruiting
Home transfusion program for blood cancer patients
This trial offers red blood cell or platelet transfusions at home for people with blood cancer who are no longer responding to treatment. It aims to improve comfort and quality of life by avoiding hospital visits.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06459141Recruiting
Blood Thinning During Bone Tumor Surgery
This study tests whether a technique that thins your blood during surgery can help people having bone tumor removal. It may reduce the need for blood transfusions.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT06450834Enrolling by invitation
Ostene in planned open back spine surgery
This trial tests an experimental bone healing material, Ostene, during spine surgery. It may help reduce scar tissue and improve fusion. You are likely eligible if you are having planned open back surgery for nerve decompression and fusion.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT06433622Enrolling by invitation
Platelet transfusion for severe brain injury on blood thinners
This trial tests whether giving a platelet transfusion to patients with severe traumatic brain injury who are on antiplatelet medication can improve how well their blood clots. You may qualify if you have a serious brain bleed and are taking a medication like aspirin or clopidogrel.
Lancaster, PennsylvaniaAges 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+ - NCT06060639Recruiting
Heart ultrasound after blood transfusion in emergency patients
This study uses ultrasound (echocardiogram) to see how a blood transfusion affects heart function in people with low red blood cells (anemia) in the emergency room.
Nîmes, GardAges 60 years+ - NCT06070350RecruitingPhase 3
Massive transfusion for life-threatening bleeding in children
This study tests whether adding the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) to a massive blood transfusion helps control life-threatening bleeding in children who are severely injured. It compares two groups: one gets TXA and the other gets a placebo (a dummy drug with no active ingredient).
Tucson, ArizonaAges Up to 17 years - 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 - NCT05401162Recruiting
