Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

This phase II trial tests whether pembrolizumab works to shrink tumors in patients with multiple myeloma whose cancer has come back (relapsed) or did not respond to previous treatment (refractory) with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapies. Immunotherapy with pembrolizumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

This is a phase I/II clinical trial evaluating the activity of combination chemotherapy with venetoclax and navitoclax in children with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma (rALL) and assessing the combination dose of venetoclax combinations with either blinatumomab for CD19-postive patients or navitoclax and high-dose cytarabine for CD19-negative patients. Primary Objectives To compare Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)-negative CR/CRi rate in children with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma (rALL) following Block 1 therapy with venetoclax and navitoclax based reinduction to historical controls. To identify the recommended phase 2 combination dose (RP2D) of venetoclax based consolidation in novel combinations with a) high-dose cytarabine and navitoclax or b) blinatumomab. Secondary Objectives To estimate the tolerability and activity of venetoclax based consolidation in novel combinations with a) high-dose cytarabine and navitoclax or b) blinatumomab. To describe event-free and overall survival in patients treated with this regimen. Exploratory Objectives To evaluate MRD-negative CR/CRi rates in each prespecified groups: late first relapse B-ALL; early first relapse and second or greater relapse B-ALL; and relapsed T-ALL. To identify drug sensitivity patterns in patient samples prior to and after receiving combination therapy and evaluate mechanisms of disease resistance/ escape. To explore immune subsets during and after this regimen. Evaluate response to therapy in rare relapse patient subsets. Explore breakthrough infections in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory ALL

Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) have been developed to treat relapsed and refractory hematological malignancies with promising outcome in patients with very poor prognosis. The purpose of this clinical study is to produce the CD19[cluster of differentiation antigen 19] CAR-T (SNUH-CD19-CAR-T) at the investigational site and to evaluate safety and efficacy of SNUH-CD19-CAR-T in children and adolescent with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a health problem characterised by an inflammatory reaction in the nasal mucosa mediated by immunoglobulin (Ig) E and resulting from exposure to environmental allergens, such as pollen and dust mites. AR symptoms can significantly affect the quality of life of patients suffering from AR, causing substantial direct health care costs and indirect costs due to absenteeism from work. The effects of pharmacological treatments are not always fully effective and have adverse effects, resulting in a significant proportion of AR patients continuing to experience symptoms or being dissatisfied. Considering the relationship between AR and intestinal microbiota (IM), the use of probiotics, live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, confer beneficial effects on the host, emerges as a potential strategy to prevent or treat certain allergies. There are different mechanisms of action by which probiotics may exert their effects on the treatment or prevention of allergies through modulation of the immune system and stimulation of tolerance. Probiotics promote a change in IM. In addition, probiotics stimulate gut-associated lymphoid tissue, modulating inflammation and immune reactions present in AR, promoting a more favourable profile by increasing the production of the modulatory cytokines IL-10 and TGFβ by Treg cells. Probiotics can restore the Th1:Th2 balance by inducing Th1 responses through the production of IL-12 and interferon (IFN)-γ, or by suppressing Th2 responses through the depletion of IL-4. In addition, probiotics may exert immunomodulatory effects through stimulating mucosal IgA production. The hypothesis of the present study is that supplementation with the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum ES1 and/or with the heat treated version of ES1 will decrease the symptomatology associated with AR and improve the quality of life of individuals by modulating IM and potentiating Treg cells and the Th1 response. The main objective of the present study is to determine the effects of supplementation with the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum ES1 and the heat treated version of ES1 (HT-ES1) on the symptoms associated with AR. The secondary objectives of the study are to determine the effects of the treatments over: 1) Quality of life; 2) Blood immunological markers (IFN-γ, IL-12, IL-10, TGF-β, IgE, IL-4, IL-13, IL-19 and IL-8); 3) Faecal immunological marker IgA; 4)Faecal microbiota composition.

This is a prospective single arm, phase II clinical trial to observe the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib combined with pemetrexed in the treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory central nervous system lymphoma.

The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical and immunological efficacy of belimumab plus low dose IL-2 in systemic lupus erythematosus.

ZX-101A-202 is a Phase I, open-label, multicenter study, a single-agent dose-escalation and dose-expansion study of ZX-101A. It is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacokinetics, efficacy and antitumor activity of ZX-101A in patients with relapsed/refractory hematological malignancies.

The overarching hypothesis for this study is that a safe and tolerable dose (i.e., the maximum tolerated dose) will be identified for loncastuximab tesirine in combination with dose-adjusted etoposide phosphate, prednisone, vincristine sulfate (Oncovin), cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride (hydroxydaunorubicin), and rituximab (DA-EPOCH-R) for patients with previously untreated aggressive B-cell lymphoid malignancies.

This is a Phase I/II, single arm, multi-center, open-label clinical trial of MS-553 in patients with CLL/SLL whose disease relapsed after or was refractory to at lease 1 prior therapy (chemotherapy and/or targeted drug therapy, which must include BTK inhibitor therapy) and who are indicated for treatment per IWCLL2018.

This study is being done to test the effectiveness of zanubrutinib in combination with venetoclax in participants with previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).
