Thalassemia clinical trials at UCSF

4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people

Thalassemia is a blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin. At UCSF, we are recruiting for clinical trials to improve blood transfusions for people with thalassemia, and to study a new drug for thalassemia and sickle cell disease patients. These trials will look at the safety and effectiveness of these treatments.

  • A Study of Etavopivat in Patients With Thalassemia or Sickle Cell Disease

    open to eligible people ages 12-65

    This clinical trial is a Phase 2 study that will evaluate the safety and clinical activity of etavopivat in patients with thalassemia or sickle cell disease and test how well etavopivat works to lower the number of red blood cell transfusions required and increase hemoglobin.

  • Red Blood Cell - IMProving trAnsfusions for Chronically Transfused Recipients

    open to all eligible people

    Red Blood Cell - IMProving trAnsfusions for Chronically Transfused recipients (RBC-IMPACT) is an observational cohort study to assess donor, component, and recipient factors that contribute to RBC efficacy in chronically and episodically transfused patients. The objective of the study is to determine how specific genetic and non-genetic factors in donors and recipients may impact RBC survival after transfusion - in short, what factors on both the donor and recipient side may improve the efficacy of the transfusion.

  • A Study to Determine the Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of AG-348 in Adult Participants With Non-transfusion-dependent Thalassemia

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    Study AG348-C-010 is a multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of treatment with AG-348 in adult participants with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT). This study includes a core period (up to 24 weeks) followed by an extension period (up to 10 years) for eligible participants. 20 participants with NTDT were enrolled. The initial dose of AG-348 was 50 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID) with one potential dose-level increase to 100 mg BID at the Week 6 visit based on the participant's safety and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations.

  • Study of Thiotepa and TEPA Drug Exposure in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    Thiotepa is a chemotherapy drug used extensively in bone marrow transplantation. Thiotepa is a prodrug that undergoes metabolic conversion in the liver by CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 to its primary active metabolite, triethylene phosphoramide (TEPA). The goal of this study is to determine what causes some children to have different drug concentrations of thiotepa and TEPA in their bodies and if drug levels are related to whether or not a child experiences severe side-effects during their bone marrow transplant. The hypothesis is that certain clinical and genetic factors cause changes in thiotepa and TEPA drug levels in pediatric bone marrow transplant patients and that high levels may cause severe side-effects.
