Home Search Browse Resources ... About Improving Immunosuppressive Treatment for Patients with Severe Aplastic Anemia This study is currently recruiting patients. Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) March 3, 2005 Sponsored by: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening bone marrow failure disorder characterized by pancytopenia and a hypocellular bone marrow. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and immunosuppressive treatment with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine (CsA) have dramatically changed the natural course of this illness, with 5 year survival of 75% in patients undergoing either treatment. Since most patients are not suitable candidates for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) due to advanced age or lack of a histocompatible sibling, efforts at NHLBI have focused on improving immunosuppression treatment in order to improve response rates, survival, and to decrease relapse. This prospective randomized phase II study will investigate two different immunosuppressive regimens in patients with severe aplastic anemia who have not received prior immunosuppressive therapy. One arm will receive ATG + CsA in addition to sirolimus for 6 months, and the second arm will receive standard ATG + CsA for 6 months followed by a slow taper of CsA with a 25% dose reduction every 3 months for the subsequent 18 months. This trial will determine the effectiveness of sirolimus in patients with aplastic anemia as well as the role of a cyclosporine taper in preventing relapses. Primary endpoint will be no longer meeting criteria for severe aplastic anemia while secondary endpoints are relapse, robustness of hematologic recovery at 3 months, survival, clonal evolution to PNH, myelodysplasia and acute leukemia.

Home Search Browse Resources ... About Stem Cell Mobilization Potential in Patients with Aplastic Anemia in remission This study is currently recruiting patients. Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) February 4, 2005 Sponsored by: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: Purpose This study will examine 1) whether it is possible to collect enough stem cells (cells produced by the bone marrow that mature into white and red blood cells and platelets) from patients with aplastic anemia to use for future treatment, and 2) whether patients who have been treated successfully and relapse will benefit from autologous stem cell transfusion (transfusion of their own stem cells). Patients 12 years of age or older with aplastic anemia who have been successfully treated with immunosuppressive drugs and are now in remission may be eligible for this study. Participants will undergo a complete history and physical examination, bone marrow biopsy (removal of a small sample of bone marrow from the hip bone) and blood tests, plus procedures to collect stem cells, as follows: -G-CSF (Filgrastim) administration - G-CSF will be given by injection under the skin daily for up to 10 days. This drug causes stem cells to move from the marrow into the blood where they can be collected more easily.

AA is a rare disease in which the bone marrow is unable to produce adequate blood cells; leading to pancytopenia (deficiency of all types of blood cells). AA may occur at any age, but there is a peak in adolescence / early adulthood, and again in old age. Slightly more males than females are diagnosed with AA, also the disease is more common in the Far East. Patients successfully treated for aplastic anemia have a higher risk of developing other diseases later in life, including cancer.

Send to friend Diseases Aplastic anaemia The booklets in this series are intended to provide general information about the diseases they describe. In many cases the treatment of individual patients will differ from that described in the booklets. At all times patients should rely on the advice of their specialist who is the only person with full information about their diagnosis and medical history. What is aplastic anaemia? The failure of the stem cells to produce mature blood cells can vary from partial to almost complete thus producing a disease of varying severity in different people. The degree of marrow failure may change with time in a given patient. Symptoms are slow to emerge because the loss of stem cell function is gradual. Often patients only realise that they have been less than fully fit for some time after their symptoms have been investigated with a blood test. Though aplastic anaemia can occur at any age, it appears to be more common in two age groups, those aged between 10 and 20 years and in people aged 40 years or over. The condition appears to be slightly more common in men. People of all ethnic groups may be affected. There is a higher frequency in tropical countries and the Far East. This is probably related to some factor in the environment rather than any particular race. People who move from these regions to Europe or the USA seem to acquire the same chance of developing aplastic anaemia as the local population.
