Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

First in humans, exploratory, open-label, single-arm, multicentre, non-competitive, dose escalation study to assess the safety and efficacy of CD1a-CAR T therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LL)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Telitacicept in adult patients with active lupus nephritis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of study participants with generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) to successfully self-administer rozanolixizumab after training in the self-administration technique using the syringe driver and manual push methods.

In recent years, the prognosis of pediatric relapsed ALL patients has improved, but the 5-year OS of patients with first recurrence is still less than 50%. A number of in vitro studies have shown that arsenic trioxide (ATO) can selectively inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis in a variety of leukemia cell lines, suggesting that ATO as a synergist combined with other common chemotherapy drugs may provide a new target for the treatment of relapsed ALL. Realgar Indigo naturalis formula is a compound traditional Chinese medicine preparation developed in China. The main component of realgar is arsenic tetrasulfide (As4S4), which can produce similar pharmacological effects to ATO. Based on the R3 protocol, this study plans to perform a double-blind randomized controlled trial, and to randomly combine compound Huangdai tablets with compound Huangdai tablets in the treatment of intermediate and high risk ALL children, in order to improve the MRD negative rate after induction therapy in this group of children, which may provide a new method for the clinical treatment of relapsed ALL.

In severe refractory sarcoidosis not responding to conventional immunosuppressive treatment, the third-line tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitor infliximab is an alternative. Treatment duration is not known, although it has been suggested that relapse rates after withdrawal could be high. We hypothesize that a prolonged course of TNF-alpha would be better for maintaining remission in sarcoidosis. The population consists of histologically-proven adults sarcoidosis patients who were treated with infliximab and are in remission for at least 6 months with less than or equal to 10 milligrams of steroids (prednisone). The present study is a phase 3, prospective, randomized, parallel groups, comparative, open-labelled 2 arms study superiority trial comparing a STOP to a REMAIN strategy. Patients will be randomized in the 2 groups in a 1:1 ratio.

Phase I Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetic Characteristics, Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity (Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel Controlled) of HLX15 with Daratumumab Injection in Healthy Chinese Male Subjects

The study is a multicenter, double-blind, sham-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tcVNS on pain and inflammation associated with JIA. tcVNS is administered with a device that gives off mild electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate the vagus nerve. Part of the vagus nerve and its branches are located in the head and neck. For this study, the impulses will be administered in areas overlying the vagus nerve using a small electrode. The electrode helps to conduct the stimulation through the skin. This stimulation triggers a chemical response through the nerves and has been found to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation in several diseases. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of tcVNS on JIA ACR 50 in participants with active JIA. The components of the active and sham tcVNS devices, utilizing the Roscoe Medical TENS 7000, have been FDA 510(k)-cleared and have been determined by the IRB to be a nonsignificant risk device.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic chronic autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody production, inflammation, and tissue damage in multiple organs. Standard of care therapies used to treat SLE are only partially effective and have a wide range of toxicities. There is a need for more effective and safer therapies for patients with SLE.

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) has an incidence of approximately 1000/10^6 for persons more than 50 years. Treatment with prednisolone carries several significant adverse effects, and it is therefore essential to taper prednisolone as fast as possible. Systematic treatment strategies (treat-to-target) is the most important improvement of disease management for other rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis in the last decades. Thus, the purpose is to investigate benefits and harms associated with a nurce led systematic prednisolone taper strategy at the department of rheumatology compared to individual treatment by discretion of the general practitioner. It is a 1-year open label randomised trial with a 1-year extension in 120 treatment naïve patients with PMR.

Allogeneic stem cell (allo SCT) transplantation for multiple myeloma is a potential curative treatment, but is associated with morbidity and treatment related mortality. Approved drug combinations or another autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT) can be used for relapsed patients resulting in a median progression free survival up to 2-3 years. In the current trial after first-line treatment relapsed or progressed myeloma patients with an HLA compatible donor will be randomized after 3 cycles of salvage therapy to allogeneic stem cell transplantation or to continuous conventional salvage therapy.
