Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

The goal of the ALOHA trial is to investigate the efficacy of improved diet quality following a DASH behavioral intervention that has shown promising results in adults with uncontrolled asthma. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. This healthy diet is known to help people with high blood pressure manage their health. But physicians do not know if the DASH diet can also benefit patients with uncontrolled asthma. Researchers in the ALOHA study are trying to find out the answer to this important question. Researchers at UIC are studying how 2 asthma care programs compare in terms of helping adults with uncontrolled asthma to improve their quality of life. Researchers also want to learn what might explain the differences in patient outcomes that they may see between the 2 programs. The primary outcome will be asthma-specific quality of life. If the DASH behavioral intervention is found to benefit people with uncontrolled asthma, it would provide a practical, safe, and acceptable public-health intervention in the form of dietary modification to reduce the burden of asthma.

This Phase 1a/1b study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of KT-333 in Adult patients with Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) Lymphomas, Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia (LGL-L), T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), and Solid Tumors. The Phase 1a stage of the study will explore escalating doses of single-agent KT-333. The Phase Ib stage will consist of 4 expansion cohorts to further characterize the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of KT-333 in Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (PTCL), Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL), LGL-L, and solid tumors.

The current study seeks to test differences between a single-session large-group format of standard exposure, enhanced exposure, and a control condition in treating anxiety sensitivity. It is hypothesized that 1) participants assigned to either exposure condition will evidence greater reductions in anxiety sensitivity from pre-treatment to posttreatment relative to those in the control condition; 2) participants assigned to the enhanced exposure condition will evidence greater reductions in anxiety sensitivity from pre-treatment to posttreatment relative to those in the standard exposure condition. The investigators will test putative moderators and mechanisms of action. Prior to initiating the study for purposes of data analyses, the investigators will pilot study procedures during Spring 2020.

This is an open, single-arm, prospective clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti CD19 and CD22 CAR-T cell in the treatment of R/R B-ALL.

Non-pharmaceutical therapies, such as acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and meditative exercises (such as Qigong (including Tai Chi and Ba-Duan-Jin), have been shown to reduce pain and improve physical function. The management recommendations of fibromyalgia issued by the European Union, Canada, Germany and Israel have all affirmed the "first-line" role of Non-pharmaceutical therapy. Because of its good efficacy and safety, acupuncture therapy has been recommended in the management guidelines and has broad application prospects. Warm acupuncture is a therapy combining acupuncture and moxibustion, which is widely used in the treatment of various painful diseases in China, especially for cold-sensitive patients . This study aims to observe the safety and effectiveness of warm acupuncture in the treatment of cold-sensitive fibromyalgia patients, in order to provide a more alternative non-drug therapy for this particular type of patients with fibromyalgia .

Endurance training revealed to be an effective means to increase cardiorespiratory fitness in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), considered relevant to health-related quality of life in this population. Moreover, endurance training improves MS-related symptoms, such as reduced walking capacity, fatigue, depression, and cognitive impairment. Owing to these benefits, endurance training has evolved as an integral part of MS rehabilitation, anchored in current treatment guidelines. In recent years, High-Intensity Interval training (HIIT) evolved as a time-efficient and safe alternative to standard care in MS rehabilitation that is Moderate Continuous Training (MCT). Indeed, HIIT has already been proven superior to MCT in improving cardiorespiratory fitness, MS-related symptoms (e.g. cognitive impairment) and, beyond, seems to elicit disease-modifying effects on MS-pathophysiology (i.e. alleviated neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration). However, current evidence is restricted to clinical trials that include samples with mixed MS disease courses, in which persons with primary progressive MS (PPMS) are underrepresented due to comparatively low prevalence rates. Distinct pathophysiological mechanisms and symptom constellations prohibit the generalisation of previous findings to persons with PPMS. In this population, however, evidence-based rehabilitative strategies are urgently needed, as disability progression in PPMS is poorly responsive to pharmacotherapy. This study, aims to validate previous findings on the superior effect of HIIT compared to MCT on improving cardiorespiratory fitness, MS-related symptoms and MS pathophysiology in persons with PPMS, contributing to the development of specific recommendations to maximize the effects of exercise as a potent non-pharmacological treatment adjuvant.

The current study is a phase II multi-center single arm trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inductive Anti-PD-1+P-GEMOX treatment followed by radiotherapy and concurrent Anti-PD-1 antibody in early-stage high-risk extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type

This is an open label, abbreviated (3+3) dose escalation study in subjects with RRMM, followed by an extension phase at the selected safe dose. The dose escalation stage will involve recruitment of 3 RRMM patients for 'low' dose (6 x 106 CAR-T cells/kg) CAR-T therapy. After 14 days of follow-up for each of the 3 subjects, the DSC will determine whether the next subject can be recruited. After 14 days follow-up for the 3rd subject, DSC will review data for the 3rd subject and consider the data for the first 3 subjects. In the absence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), the DSC may recommend recruitment of 3 subjects to be treated with the 'high' dose (9x106 CAR-T cells/kg) CAR-T therapy, with similar staggering. In case of DLTs in one of the 3 low dose subjects, the DSC may recommend to recruit an additional 3 low dose subjects (6 in total). If there are no additional DLTs in these 3 patients the low dose may be recommended by the DSC for the extension stage. However, further DLTs may prompt the DSC to recommend to modify the protocol, or to stop the study. In case of DLTs in one of the first 3 high dose subjects, the DSC may recommend to recruit an additional 3 high dose subjects.If there are no additional DLTs in these 3 patients, the high dose may be recommended by the DSC for the study extension stage. However, further DLTs may prompt the DSC to recommend continuation to the extension stage with the low dose, or to modify the protocol, or to stop the study. After completion of two months follow-up for the 6th subject in the low or high dose cohort (as applicable), and review of all the data for all subjects, following DSC recommendations, the Stage 2 extension phase of the study may recruit additional subjects, up to a maximum of 75 subjects for Stages 1 and 2, combined. DSC will review study data during the extension stage follow-up after 5 years to determine if additional safety follow-up is required.

This Phase 1a/1b study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics (PK/ PD) of KT-413 in patients with R/R NHL. The Phase 1a stage of the study will explore escalating doses of single-agent KT-413. The Phase 1b stage will be split into 2 expansion cohorts to further characterize the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamics (PK/ PD) of KT-413 in MYD88 mutant and MYD88 wild-type R/R DLBCL.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the bronchodilator effect, systemic exposure and safety/tolerability of two different doses of inhaled glycopyrronium, when compared to placebo. Outcome of this study will be used to determine the dose of inhaled glycopyrronium for the development of fixed dose combination indacaterol/mometasone/glycopyrronium (QVM149) for children aged 6 to less than 12 years old with moderate to severe asthma.
