متن کاملCLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS The prognostic significance of a positive direct antiglobulin test in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a beneficial effect of the combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide on the incidence of hemolytic anemia
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AHA) is a common complication in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The UK LRF CLL4 trial is the largest prospective trial in CLL to examine the prognostic impact of both a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) and AHA.

متن کاملCLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS Of mice and men: an open-label pilot study for treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura by an inhibitor of Syk
To determine whether inhibition of Syk would be useful in Fc R-dependent cytopenias such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) or autoimmune hemolytic anemia, mouse models were used to evaluate efficacy of R406, an inhibitor of Syk function, in treating cytopenia. Both disease models responded favorably to treatment, with amelioration of ITP being more dramatic. Thus, phase 2 clinical trial ...

The prevalence, clinical characteristics, and prognostic significance of immune thrombocytopenia (IT) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have not been clearly determined. To clarify this, we retrospectively analyzed 1278 consecutive newly diagnosed patients with CLL.
