thalidomide and Anemia

thalidomide has been researched along with Anemia in 89 studies

Thalidomide: A piperidinyl isoindole originally introduced as a non-barbiturate hypnotic, but withdrawn from the market due to teratogenic effects. It has been reintroduced and used for a number of immunological and inflammatory disorders. Thalidomide displays immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic activity. It inhibits release of TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA from monocytes, and modulates other cytokine action.
thalidomide : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of R- and S-thalidomide.
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione : A dicarboximide that is isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is substituted by a 2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl group.

Anemia: A reduction in the number of circulating ERYTHROCYTES or in the quantity of HEMOGLOBIN.

Change From Baseline in the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30)

The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-question tool used to assess the overall quality of life in cancer participants. It consists of 15 domains: 1 global health status (GHS) scale, 5 functional scales (Physical, Role, Cognitive, Emotional, Social), and 9 symptom scales/items (Fatigue, Nausea and Vomiting, Pain, Dyspnea, Sleep Disturbance, Appetite Loss, Constipation, Diarrhea, Financial Impact).The EORTC-QLQ-C30 Global Health Status/QOL Scale is scored between 0 and 100, where higher scores indicate better Global Health Status/QOL. Negative changes from baseline indicate deterioration in QOL or functioning and positive changes indicate improvement. Scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale. High scores for the global and functional domains indicate higher quality of life or functioning. Higher scores on the symptom scales represent higher levels of symptomatology or problems.

Each dimension has 3 levels of response: No problem (1), some problems (2), and extreme problems (3). A unique EQ-5D health state is defined by combining one level from each of the five dimensions into a single utility index score.

A positive change from baseline score indicates improvement in health status and better health state. (NCT00689936)

"Cytogenetic (chromosome structure) abnormalities were assessed by a central cytogenetic reviewer based on prints and cytogenetic reports of the bone marrow sample from the central laboratory. Cytogenetic response was determined using the IWG (2000) criteria and categorized as either a major response or minor response. Twenty metaphases were analyzed for the determination of cytogenetic response.~A major response was defined as no detectable cytogenetic abnormality, if an abnormality was present at Baseline, sustained for consecutive 56 days during the treatment period. A minor response was defined as ≥ 50% reduction from Baseline in abnormal metaphases sustained for consecutive 56 days during the treatment period." (NCT00812968)
Timeframe: Response was assessed every 12 weeks through Week 156

Number of Participants With a Erythroid Response

"Erythroid response was determined using the International Working Group (IWG) 2000 criteria, categorized as a major response or minor response.~A major response in patients with transfusion-dependent anemia (receiving ≥ 4.5 units of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion during 56 consecutive days at Baseline) is defined as RBC transfusion independence accompanied by a ≥1.0 g/dL increase from Baseline in hemoglobin sustained for 56 days consecutively during the treatment period. In patients with transfusion-independent anemia with hemoglobin < 10 g/dL at Baseline a major response is defined as a > 2.0 g/dL increase from Baseline in hemoglobin sustained for consecutive 56 days.~Minor response in patients with transfusion-dependent anemia defined as ≥ 50% decrease from Baseline in transfusion requirements sustained for consecutive 56 days, and in transfusion-independent patients as 1.0 to 2.0 g/dL increase from Baseline in hemoglobin sustained for consecutive 56 days."

PD may also be the development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or the increase in size of existing lesions. PD may also be the development of hypercalcemia." (NCT01029054)
