Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

A single arm, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of ThisCART19 (Allogeneic CAR-T targeting CD19) in patients with relapsed and/or refractory non-Hodgkin's B cell lymphoma (r/r B-NHL).

This is a Phase 3 study to assess the efficacy and safety of twice-weekly subcutaneous (SC) doses of pegcetacoplan compared to placebo in patients with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) or immune-complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) on the basis of a reduction in proteinuria.

In this studly, the effects of an 8-week telerehabilitation-based upper extremity training in persons with multiple sclerosis will be investigated.

The greatest unmet need for people with multiple sclerosis is an effective therapy for the progressive phase. Current treatments suppress the damage caused by the immune system but there is only a limited window in which these can work. Consequently, much of the research community is turning its attention to the process of repair, called remyelination, in which the lining of nerve cells is reformed. This protects nerves from dying and therefore can delay, prevent, or even reverse, disability progression. It has previously been shown that stem cells are already present in the brain that can carry out this process. Clemastine, an anti-histamine drug, can instruct them to become active and has already shown a beneficial effect in a phase 2 trial. Now, more recent experiments have shown that changes take place within these stem cells as they age, which prevents them responding to drugs like clemastine, but that this can be reversed by treatment with metformin, a commonly used anti-diabetes drug. Our goal is to establish whether the combination of metformin and clemastine can promote remyelination in people with MS. We will focus on people with relapsing MS as they will have a greater proportion of nerves healthy enough to allow remyelination to take place, which will maximise the chance of detecting an effect with a smaller sample size. Participants will also continue treatment with a current disease-modifying MS treatment, to reduce the chance of developing new areas of damage, allowing the trial to focus on the repair process. The treatment duration will be 24 weeks, but given the established safety of the proposed medications, we are able to limit the number of visits to the trial centre to ensure participation is not overly burdensome.

In general, the percentage of complete remissions is 85 - 90 % for acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). In developing countries, percentages are lower secondary to higher sepsis-related mortality. Although the effect of statins on inflammatory response associated with sepsis has been demonstrated, including an effect on bacterial proliferation in patients with a state of immunosuppression, their effect has not been demonstrated so far in patients with hemato-oncological cancer.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of mosunetuzumab in participants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

cGVHD is a systemic disease with multi-system damage similar to autoimmune and other immune diseases. It can affect multiple organs such as skin, liver, kidney, and peripheral nerves, causing a serious decline in the quality of life of patients, and death in the late stage of transplantation. According to the cGVHD prognostic risk scoring system (revised Risk Group) revised by the European Society for Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) in 2017, the 3-year survival rate of patients with rRG1 (0-3 points) is about 93.3 ± 6.4%, and rRG2 (4-6 points) about 84.9 ± 3.4%, rRG3 (7-9 points) about 70.9 ± 4.4%, rRG4 (≥10 points) about 32.0 ± 1.1%, it can be seen that moderate to severe cGVHD directly affects the survival of allo-HSCT patients. Once moderate or severe cGVHD is diagnosed, glucocorticoids with or without calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) are first-line drugs, but the effective rate is less than 50%, and the prognosis of hormone-resistant severe cGVHD is extremely poor even if second-line treatment is added. Second-line treatments include monoclonal antibodies, immunosuppressants, chemotherapy drugs, phototherapy or others. Most of them cannot improve the long-term survival rate. The main reason is that these treatments suppress immunity for a long time, which increases the risk of infection and reduces the survival rate. In this context, the treatment of mesenchymal stromal stem cells (MSCs) provides a new path for clinical treatment of cGVHD.

This study aims to evaluate alternative dosing regimens of single-agent belantamab mafodotin in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) to determine if an improved overall benefit/risk profile can be achieved by modifying the belantamab mafodotin dose, schedule, or both.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rocatinlimab in monotherapy and combination therapy treatment in adolescent subjects.

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare, genetic and progressive condition with no known cure. Therapies present a mainstream management option and have the potential to offer optimisation of fitness and general health. This pilot RCT aims to explore the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of a co-produced home-based complex exercise intervention for children with ataxia telangiectasia. The study was designed through broad consultation with a collaborative of children and young people with A-T including family members, therapists, clinicians and researchers, called the A-Team collaborative (https://osf.io/edzn3/)
