Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of two different doses of ianalumab versus placebo in addition to first-line corticosteroids in maintaining platelet count ≥30 G/L in adult participants with primary ITP.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease of the BM characterized by clonal expansion of plasma cells. Current guidelines recommend that newly diagnosed transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma (NDMMTE) shall undergo several cycles of induction, followed by one or two cycles high-dose melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transfusion (ASCT). Currently, induction therapy schemes usually consist of an immunomodulator (thalidomide or lenalidomide), a transmembrane glycoprotein CD38 targeting antibody, a proteasome inhibitor, and dexamethasone. The induction therapy is then followed by stem cell mobilization and subsequently one or two cycles of high-dose melphalan-chemotherapy based on the initial cytogenetic findings of the malignant plasma cells and the initial stage of the disease. Essentially, all NDMMTE patients undergo at least one cycle of high-dose chemotherapy, which is associated with high morbidity including acute toxicities like cytopenia, infection, and long-term effects such as myelodysplastic disease (MDS) and secondary malignancies and rarely death. Based on preliminary data and published reports, exposure to high-doses of the genotoxic agent melphalan might render the residual malignant myeloma cells into more aggressive clones, accelerating relapse by potentially altering stroma. Finally, exposure to melphalan is well known to increase the possibility of secondary malignant disease development. In MM patients, high-dose melphalan therapy improves OS and PFS if patients from all risk groups are taken in consideration. Yet, it remains to be answered, whether also low risk patients have an additional benefit from high-dose melphalan therapy or whether for these patients, a less toxic regime would be similarly sufficient with regard to PFS and OS. The challenging question will be whether the effect of melphalan on initial disease control might be outpaced by the negative effects as described above. Hence, the sponsor will explore whether treatment with high-dose melphalan might represent an overtreatment for certain subpopulation myeloma patients. These patients might be adequately treated without need of high-dose melphalan as part of the first line treatment. The sponsor, therefore, proposes to use a personalized approach to evaluate whether patients with a low-risk profile and with a gene expression profile indicating a standard risk of relapse might be sufficiently treated with an intensified induction course without subsequent upfront high-dose melphalan chemotherapy.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), anti-CD20 antibodies, and the B cell lymphoma 2 inhibitor (BCL-2i) venetoclax are drug classes used to treat patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic leukemia (CLL/SLL). Anti-CD20 therapy may not be required for all patients. The investigators hypothesis is that it may be better to give anti-CD20 therapy (obinutuzumab) only to patients that still have detectable cancer in their blood (minimal residual disease [MRD]) after being treated with a combination of two oral medications, zanubrutinib (a BTKi ) and venetoclax (a BCL-2i), instead of giving a combination of three drugs to all patients from the start of treatment. This strategy, if effective, will prevent overtreatment with anti-CD20 antibodies; reduce side effects of treatment while potentially increasing MRD negativity rates; and will possibly make the anti-CD20 antibody therapy more effective given the low tumor burden present when utilized. This study will test this hypothesis by treating subjects with 3 cycles of a zanubrutinib monotherapy lead-in, in order to debulk and mitigate tumor lysis risk, followed by 13 cycles of zanubrutinib and venetoclax combination therapy. Subjects who are both peripheral blood and bone marrow MRD negative at the completion of the 13 cycles of combination therapy will stop treatment and enter an observation phase every 3 months. Subjects that are MRD positive will continue combination therapy with zanubrutinib and venetoclax for an additional 6 cycles but also receive 6 cycles of obinutuzumab in order to augment response and increase MRD negative rates for the overall treated cohort.

T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is the second most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in children and adolescents. With current treatment, event-free survival (EFS) rates vary between 75%~85%. Two different MTX intensification strategies are used commonly: HD-MTX with leucovorin rescue, and Capizzi-style MTX without leucovorin rescue plus PEG-ASP (C-MTX). Although superior outcome of patients with T-ALL receiving C-MTX compared with HD-MTX on the AALL0434 trial, the 2 approaches had not been compared directly in patients with T-LBL. There remains controversy on PET/CT interpretation in children with NHL. Large prospective studies in pediatric patients with T-LBL regarding PET/CT value for this is scarce. Around 1% pediatric patients with T-LBL will not achieve remission at the end of Induction (induction failure). The optimal treatment for this small subgroup is largely unclear. The BFM HR Blocks usually are applied to these patients even though the efficacy is unknown. Novel targeted therapies are needed for use. Dasatinib is identified as a targeted therapy for T-cell ALL in preclinical drug screening.

This Phase I Clinical Study assessed the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Profiles and Preliminary Efficacy of Subcutaneous Injection of Recombinant Humanized Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody in the Treatment of Primary Membranous Nephropathy

This study aims to examine the efficacy and safety of obexelimab for the prevention of flare of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD)

This phase II trial studies the safety and how well of loncastuximab tesirine when given together with mosunetuzumab works in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Loncastuximab tesirine is a monoclonal antibody, loncastuximab, linked to a toxic agent called tesirine. Loncastuximab attaches to anti-CD19 cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers tesirine to kill them. Mosunetuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving loncastuximab tesirine with mosunetuzumab may help treat patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
