The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of roxadustat compared todarbepoetin alfa in the treatment of anemia in non-dialysis dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (NDD-CKD)subjects.The secondary objectives of this study are to:*…
The study will compare the change in cutaneous cellular oxygen availability, measured as mitochondrial PO2 (mitoPO2) between a fluid challenge and a blood transfusion in chronic anemia patients.
(Primary) Determine whether measuring the expression level is a good functional test for confirming the genetic diagnosis in IRIDA by establishing the relation between the TMPRSS6 mRNA expression and the phenotype in IRIDA patients and their family…
The objective of this study is to evaluate the additional value of novel anemia markers (RET-HE, RPI, sTfR, sTfR/log(ferritin), transferrin/log(ferritin)) in a prospective, randomized study design. Our hypothesis is that the novel anemia markers can…
to analyse the applicability of neutron activation analysis in measuring the absorption of a trace dose of the stable 58 Fe isotope orally given as ironsulphate
Assessment of the cutaneous and retinal microcirculation in SCD patients and matched controls:- Long- and short-term repeatability of LSCI and NiRFI ;- Comparison of cutaneous and retinal microcirculation between SCD patients and matched healthy…
We aim to determine whether the change in Ret- He, RBC- He and hepcidin concentration to one or two weeks iron supplementation therapy predicts the increase in hemoglobin concentration after 6 weeks of oral iron supplementation therapy in anemic…
The objective of this pilot study is to investigate wether:- Increased Hb levels prior to the operation can prevent blood transfusions preoperative, blood transfusions have a negative effect on the survival of cancer patients- Treatment with…
Serum hepcidin levels are elevated in hemodialysis patients and may contribute to functional iron impairment and thus to ESA-resistance. Kinetics of hepcidin in hemodialysis patients has not been studied in detail. This study is designed to provide…
To improve the steady hematopoiesis post-ASCT by infusing the autologous transplant directly in the bone marrow compartment.(protocol page 6)
The purpose of the present study is to examine the perception of immigrant parents of their child*s beta thalassemia and the provided care during treatment with stem cell transplantation in the Netherlands. It is important to study and learn about…
In the current proposal, we propose an in vitro study to explore the interaction of malaria infection, the parasitized erythrocyte, and monocyte iron metabolism. We aim to study the role of hepcidin and to explore a) the pathways involved in malaria…
Primary objective:To determine the hepcidin levels before, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours after the administration of anti-IL-6R in patients with RA.Secondary objective:To determine the levels of Iron, transferrin , (calculation of transferrin saturation),…
Primary:Comparing EPO induced proliferation, G2/G0 ratio, and apoptosis of UT7-EPO cells between anemic and non-anemic CHF patients. Secondary:1. Comparing the levels of several circulating inhibitory factors (TNF-alpha, TGF-Beta, Ac-SDKP, INF-gamma…
In our laboratory we are able to characterize and culture MSCs. In order to study more extensively the possible alterations in MSC biology in AA we will investigate bone marrow cells of patients with newly diagnosed AA and at the time of response…
* To evaluate the in-vivo effects of standard treatment of ATG and cyclosporine on lymphocytes in patients with SAA.* To evaluate persistence and binding capacity of circulating ATG derived antibodies in patients with SAA after treatment.* To…
The first objective is to explore whether epo regulation and expression, at the age of two weeks after birth and three to six months post-term, are associated with the course of Hb levels. Furthermore, we will assess if epo regulation and expression…
To characterize the PK of eltrombopag at steady state after oral administration in pediatric patients with SAA.Secondary (key only, see protocol page 40-41 for all objectives): Safety and tolerability. Efficacy (overall response rate ORR).
Primary Objective: To investigate the relationship between disease activity and iron deficiency (i.e. absolute and functional ID combined) in children with IBD. Secondary Objectives: 1.To establish the prevalence of iron deficiency (both absolute…
To compare the efficacy, side effects and therapy compliance of intermittent (three times a week) versus daily oral iron supplementation for anaemia in pregnancy attributed to iron deficiency.
