ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a serious condition called thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) that can occur in patients who have received a chemotherapy drug called mitomycin C. TMA is a condition where the blood doesn't flow properly due to small blood clots, leading to symptoms like low blood platelets, anemia (low red blood cells), and damage to organs, especially the kidneys. The trial aims to learn more about how patients with TMA due to mitomycin C respond to treatment, particularly focusing on a medication called eculizumab, which has shown promise in other forms of TMA.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be adults aged 18 and older who have received mitomycin C at any time from 1990 to 2023 and have developed TMA symptoms related to this treatment. Participants can expect to undergo assessments that include clinical evaluations and tests to understand their condition better, regardless of whether they have received any treatment for TMA. The study is currently recruiting participants and aims to gather important information that could help improve care for patients facing this serious side effect of chemotherapy.
