Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a disorder that causes episodes of acute pain and progressive organ damage. Ways to manage SCD have evolved slowly. Treatments do not always work. Researchers want to see if a drug called mitapivat can help people with SCD. Objective: To test the long-term tolerability and safety of mitapivat (or AG-348) in people with SCD. Eligibility: Adults age 18-70 with SCD who took part in and benefited from NIH study #19H0097. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will give a blood sample. They will have an electrocardiogram to test heart function. Participants will repeat some of the screening tests during the study. Participants will complete 6-minute walk tests to measure mobility and function. They will have transthoracic echocardiograms to measure heart and lung function. They will have dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans to measure bone health. They will complete online questionnaires that measure their overall health and well-being. Participants will take the study drug in the form of a tablet twice a day. Participants will keep a study diary. They will record any symptoms they may have. Participation will last for about 54 weeks. After 48 weeks, participants can either keep taking the study drug for 48 more weeks or be tapered off of the study drug to complete the study. Those who are on the study for 1 year will have 10 study visits. Those who are on the study for 2 years will have 14 study visits.

NOTE: This is a research study and is not meant to be a substitute for clinical genetic testing. Families may never receive results from the study or may receive results many years from the time they enroll. If you are interested in clinical testing please consider seeing a local genetic counselor or other genetics professional. If you have already had clinical genetic testing and meet eligibility criteria for this study as shown in the Eligibility Section, you may enroll regardless of the results of your clinical genetic testing. While it is well recognized that hereditary factors contribute to the development of a subset of human cancers, the cause for many cancers remains unknown. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has expanded knowledge in the field of hereditary cancer predisposition. Currently, more than 100 cancer predisposing genes have been identified, and it is now estimated that approximately 10% of all cancer patients have an underlying genetic predisposition. The purpose of this protocol is to identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants. For this study, the investigators will establish a Data Registry linked to a Repository of biological samples. Health information, blood samples and occasionally leftover tumor samples will be collected from individuals with familial cancer. The investigators will use NGS approaches to find changes in genes that may be important in the development of familial cancer. The information gained from this study may provide new and better ways to diagnose and care for people with hereditary cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: * Establish a registry of families with clustering of cancer in which clinical data are linked to a repository of cryopreserved blood cells, germline DNA, and tumor tissues from the proband and other family members. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: * Identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants in families with clustering of cancer for which the underlying genetic basis is unknown.

NCT07516847
This study is a prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in improving anemia in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Anemia is the most common clinical problem in patients with lower-risk MDS and often leads to fatigue, reduced quality of life, and the need for repeated blood transfusions. Current treatment options, including erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and other therapies, are not effective in all patients, and additional treatment options are needed. Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that is widely used for the treatment of diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. Previous studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors can increase hemoglobin levels, possibly by stimulating erythropoiesis. In this study, eligible patients will receive dapagliflozin 10 mg orally once daily for 24 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate the hemoglobin response rate during the study period. Secondary objectives include changes in hemoglobin levels, transfusion requirements, and safety outcomes. This study aims to explore whether dapagliflozin can serve as a potential treatment option for anemia in patients with lower-risk MDS.
NCT06642337
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a Nutritional Educational Program for caregivers can improve their knowledge and performance in managing iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in children, compared to oral iron therapy alone. The study focuses on children with IDA, particularly in \[age range 1-5 years\], and aims to determine if combining nutritional education with oral iron therapy has a greater impact on improving hemoglobin levels than iron therapy alone. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does caregiver education improve children's hemoglobin levels more effectively than oral iron therapy alone? 2. Does nutritional education improve caregiver knowledge and practices regarding iron-rich diets? Researchers will compare children who receive both caregiver education and oral iron therapy to those receiving only oral iron therapy to assess differences in hemoglobin levels. Participants will: Receive oral iron supplements. Caregivers will participate in educational sessions on dietary strategies to manage IDA.
NCT05972577
This clinical trial tests whether a geriatric optimization plan (GO!) works to improve survival in patients over 60 with a hematologic malignancy or bone marrow failure syndrome eligible for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. GO! focuses on creating a tailored and specific plan for each patient to make changes in their daily lives. These may include changes to their diet, sleep, activity, medicines, or even referrals to other providers depending on the patient's needs. Studying survival and quality of life in patients over 60 receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant may help identify the effects of treatment.

NCT05012111
Background: Bone marrow failure diseases are rare. Much is known about the diseases at the time of diagnosis, but long-term data about the effects of the diseases and treatments are lacking. Researchers want to better understand long-term outcomes in people with these diseases. Objective: To follow people diagnosed with acquired or inherited bone marrow failure disease and study the long-term effects of the disease and its treatments on organ function. Eligibility: People aged 2 years and older who have been diagnosed with acquired or inherited bone marrow failure or Telomere Biology Disorder. First degree family members may also be able to take part in the study. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They may have a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. For this, a large needle will be inserted in the hip through a small cut. Marrow will be drawn from the bone. A small piece of bone may be removed. Participants may also be screened with some of the following: Cheek swab or hair follicle sample Skin biopsy Urine or saliva sample Evaluation by disease specialists (e.g., lung, liver, heart) Imaging scan of the chest Liver ultrasounds Six-Minute Walk Test Lung function test Participants will be put into groups based on their disease. They will have visits every 1 to 3 years. At visits, they may repeat some screening tests. They may fill out yearly surveys about their medicines, transfusions, pregnancy, bleeding, and so on. They may have other specialized procedures, such as imaging scans and ultrasounds. Participation will last for up to 20 years.
NCT03520647
Background: Severe aplastic anemia (SAA), and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) cause serious blood problems. Stem cell transplants using bone marrow or blood plus chemotherapy can help. Researchers want to see if using peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) rather than bone marrow cells works too. PBSCs are easier to collect and have more cells that help transplants. Objectives: To see how safely and effectively SAA, MDS and PNH are treated using peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells from a family member plus chemotherapy. Eligibility: Recipients ages 4-60 with SAA, MDS or PNH and their relative donors ages 4-75 Design: Recipients will have: * Blood, urine, heart, and lung tests * Scans * Bone marrow sample Recipients will need a caregiver for several months. They may make fertility plans and a power of attorney. Donors will have blood and tissue tests, then injections to boost stem cells for 5-7 days. Donors will have blood collected from a tube in an arm or leg vein. A machine will separate stem cells and maybe white blood cells. The rest of the blood will be returned into the other arm or leg. In the hospital for about 1 month, recipients will have: * Central line inserted in the neck or chest * Medicines for side effects * Chemotherapy over 8 days and radiation 1 time * Stem cell transplant over 4 hours Up to 6 months after transplant, recipients will stay near NIH for weekly physical exams and blood tests. At day 180, recipients will go home. They will have tests at their doctor s office and NIH several times over 5 years.

NCT04304820
Background: Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a rare and serious blood disorder. It causes the immune system to turn against bone marrow cells. Standard treatment for SSA is a combination of 3 drugs (Cyclosporine \[CsA\], Eltrombopag \[EPAG\], and horse anti-thymocyte globulin \[h-ATG\]). Researchers want to see if starting people at a lower dose of CsA with EPAG before giving them h-ATG is helpful. Objective: To learn if early initiation of oral therapy with CsA and EPAG is safe and effective in people who have SAA and have not been treated with a course of immunosuppressive therapy and EPAG. Eligibility: People ages 3 and older with SAA Design: Participants will be screened with: * medical history * physical exam * electrocardiogram * blood tests * family history * bone marrow biopsy * current medicines. Participants may be screened remotely via telephone conference. Participants will take a lower oral dose of CsA and EPAG. They will take CsA twice a day for 6 months. They will take EPAG for 6 months. Those who cannot visit the NIH Clinical Center within 72 hours will start taking the drugs at home. They will have weekly telephone calls with NIH staff until they visit the Clinical Center. Participants may get h-ATG at the Clinical Center for 4 days. For this, they will have a central line placed. It is a plastic tube inserted into a neck, chest, or arm vein. Participants will repeat most screening tests throughout the study. Participants will have follow-up visits at the Clinical Center at 3 months, 6 months, and annually for 5 years after the start of the study....

Anemia in surgical patients is a common seriously problem; around 40 % of patients presenting for major surgery are anemic problem. Patients with major surgery have significantly higher rates of acute blood loss. Whereas , patients with pre-operative anemia prone to be transfused blood component in pre-operative or intraoperative and postoperative periods that associated with worse outcomes , prolonged hospital stays , increased risk of morbidity and mortality . Therefore, patients undergoing major surgery should be optimization for pre-operative anemia. In November 2021, Siriraj Preanesthesia Assessment Center (SIPAC) has developed and implemented a preoperative anemia management guideline which is one pillar of perioperative patient blood management. The objective of this guideline is to optimize red blood cell mass before patients having operation. The investigators are realize the important of pre-operative anemia of patients who undergoing elective surgery. The investigators will aim to evaluate adherence to the preoperative anemia management guideline protocol and perioperative outcomes and use the data of this study to setting guidelines for preoperative anemia evaluation and management in SIPAC of department of anesthesiology in Siriraj hospital for improving workflow and optimization before elective surgery, supporting to a reduction in blood transfusion, hospital stay, morbidity and health care costs of public health of Thailand.
