Exercise and fatigue in beta-thalassemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at why people with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia may feel tired or have trouble exercising. It compares patients with healthy volunteers matched by age and gender to understand the factors involved.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have beta-thalassemia (type B0 or B+) and need regular blood transfusions.
- You have been getting blood transfusions every 1 to 8 weeks for at least 5 years.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a gene therapy to help people with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (a severe type of thalassemia) stop needing regular blood transfusions. It uses your own stem cells, which are modified to produce healthy red blood cells.
This study tests if a breathing exercise device (incentive spirometer) can improve lung function and daily activity in children with thalassemia who receive regular blood transfusions. It aims to help them breathe easier and be more active.
This study tests an experimental drug called YOLT-204 to see if it is safe and can help people with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia need fewer blood transfusions. It is for adults aged 18 to 35 who have a specific type of thalassemia and are otherwise healthy enough for the trial.
This study tests a special system (Hemanext One) that stores red blood cells with less oxygen, to see if it helps people with thalassemia who need regular transfusions. It may reduce side effects or improve how well the transfusions work.
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy using your own stem cells to help you produce healthy red blood cells and reduce or eliminate the need for regular blood transfusions. It is for people with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia who are between 3 and 35 years old.
This study tests whether motivational interviewing, a type of counseling, helps people with thalassemia take their medications more regularly and feel more confident in managing their health. If you are an adult with thalassemia who needs regular blood transfusions and takes iron chelation therapy, this trial might be for you.
