metformin and Fanconi Anemia

metformin has been researched along with Fanconi Anemia in 5 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Fanconi Anemia: Congenital disorder affecting all bone marrow elements, resulting in ANEMIA; LEUKOPENIA; and THROMBOPENIA, and associated with cardiac, renal, and limb malformations as well as dermal pigmentary changes. Spontaneous CHROMOSOME BREAKAGE is a feature of this disease along with predisposition to LEUKEMIA. There are at least 7 complementation groups in Fanconi anemia: FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, and FANCL.

Trial Outcomes

Hematologic Response

"Hematologic response is defined by specific increases in erythroid, platelet, and neutrophil counts.~Erythroid response: Hemoglobin (Hgb) increase by >1.5g/dL for non-transfusion dependent patients and for patients who are transfusion dependent: Transfusion independence Only transfusions given for Hgb ≤8g/dL or for symptoms will be counted in the response evaluation~Platelet response: If initially <20k/uL to start, then must increase to >20k/UL with an absolute increase of 100%. If initially ≥20k/uL to start, then must have an absolute increase of >30k/UL~Neutrophil response: If initially <500/uL to start, then must increase to >500/uL with an absolute increase of > 250/uL. If initially ≥500/uL to start, then must have an absolute increase of >500/uL" (NCT03398824)
