Clinical Study of Non Severe Aplastic Anemia Treated With Cyclosporine, Androgen and Levamisole

Plain-language summary
The clinical symptoms of non transfusion dependent non severe aplastic anemia (NSAA) are often lighter than that of severe aplastic anemia. Clinical observation is often used and the treatment should be given according to the follow-up results of peripheral blood routine and the survival condition of the patients. In recent years, a number of studies at home or abroad have tended to intervene earlier. The risk of observation and waiting for disease progression is higher. Early immunosuppression should be considered. For the treatment of non transfusion dependent non severe aplastic anemia, the commonly used treatment regimen is androgen combined with CSA. But the investigators find that Levamisole hydrochloride (LMS) as a commonly used immunomodulatory drugs may be helpful to improving immune disorder symptoms in NSAA patients. Therefore,the investigators are conducting a prospective, randomized controlled study to compare the rate, side effects and long-term survival in non transfusion dependent patients with NSAA between the androgen+CSA group and the androgen+CSA+LMS group.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
