New Recruiting Trial: A Study to Compare Elritercept With Epoetin Alfa to Treat Anemia in Adults With Very Low, Low, or Intermediate Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Who Need Regular Blood Transfusions

Researchers are testing a new drug called elritercept to see if it works better than a standard treatment (epoetin alfa) for anemia in adults with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)—a blood disorder where the bone marrow doesn't make enough healthy blood cells. People in this study have low, very low, or intermediate risk MDS and need regular blood transfusions. The trial is now accepting patients.

WHY IT MATTERSThis Phase 3 trial is actively recruiting adults with MDS who require transfusions, offering access to an investigational treatment that may reduce their dependence on blood transfusions.

New Recruiting Trial: Prophylactic Transfusion In Pregnant in Women With Sickle Cell Disease

Researchers at Emory University are looking for pregnant women with sickle cell disease to join a study about blood transfusions. The study will test whether giving blood transfusions during pregnancy can help prevent serious complications for both the mother and baby. This is a Phase 4 trial, which means the treatment has already been tested before and researchers want to learn more about how well it works.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is now actively recruiting pregnant women with sickle cell disease — participation could help prevent pregnancy complications like stroke, organ damage, and miscarriage that occur at higher rates in this population.
