Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

Tagraxofusp is a protein-drug conjugate consisting of a diphtheria toxin redirected to target CD123 has been approved for treatment in pediatric and adult patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). This trial aims to examine the safety of this novel agent in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies. The mechanism by which tagraxofusp kills cells is distinct from that of conventional chemotherapy. Tagraxofusp directly targets CD123 that is present on tumor cells, but is expressed at lower or levels or absent on normal hematopoietic stem cells. Tagraxofusp also utilizes a payload that is not cell cycle dependent, making it effective against both highly proliferative tumor cells and also quiescent tumor cells. The rationale for clinical development of tagraxofusp for pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies is based on the ubiquitous and high expression of CD123 on many of these diseases, as well as the highly potent preclinical activity and robust clinical responsiveness in adults observed to date. This trial includes two parts: a monotherapy phase and a combination chemotherapy phase. This design will provide further monotherapy safety data and confirm the FDA approved pediatric dose, as well as provide safety data when combined with chemotherapy. The goal of this study is to improve survival rates in children and young adults with relapsed hematological malignancies, determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of tagraxofusp given alone and in combination with chemotherapy, as well as to describe the toxicities, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic properties of tagraxofusp in pediatric patients. About 54 children and young adults will participate in this study. Patients with Down syndrome will be included in part 1 of the study.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of HR19042 capsules for the treatment of autoimmune hepatitis. It will also explore the optimal frequency and dosage of HR19042 capsules administration for the treatment.

The participants are being asked to take part in this clinical trial because the participant have a lymphoid or myeloid based cancer diagnosis that requires a bone marrow transplant. Primary Objectives To estimate the incidence of severe acute GVHD (saGVHD) using a prophylaxis regimen with no calcineurin inhibitors after day +60 post first allogeneic Human Leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling or unrelated donor HCT for hematological malignancies. Secondary objective Determine the cumulative incidence of relapse, NRM, chronic GVHD, and OS in study participants at one year post-transplant. Exploratory objectives To evaluate the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profiles of ruxolitinib, fludarabine, and rATG. To assess immune reconstitution in study participants within the first year post-HCT.

This is a multicenter, Phase Ib, open-label, siplizumab dose-finding study in individuals aged 8-45 years with a Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) diagnosis. within 18 months of V0. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to one of four possible siplizumab dosing arms. All dosing arms will receive weekly siplizumab doses for a total of 12 weeks. After the completion of treatment, participants will undergo follow-up visits at weeks 12, 24, 36 and 52 which include longitudinal MMTTs. Blood samples for mechanistic analyses will be obtained during the treatment phase and thereafter. Adults aged 18- 45 will be enrolled initially at the study sites. The primary objective is to identify a safe, metabolically favorable, dosing regimen for siplizumab in patients with type 1 diabetes that induces changes in T cell phenotypes observed with alefacept therapy in new-onset T1DM. The secondary objectives are to: Assess the safety profile of siplizumab in recently diagnosed T1DM. Assess the effects of siplizumab on residual beta cell function in recently diagnosed T1DM participants.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global public health problem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe. Approximately 10 million people fall sick with TB, causing up to 2 million deaths, worldwide per year. Considerable progress was made in TB control from 1990-2015, motivating the World Health Organization (WHO) to launch an ambitious EndTB strategy. However, the effect of the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has been devastating and the last two years have seen the first year-on-year increases (of 5.6%) in TB mortality since 2005 . In order to regain lost ground, and re-establish progress towards elimination of TB, innovation is needed in all aspects of TB control, including development of shorter treatment regimens for drug susceptible (DS) and multi-drug resistant / rifampicin resistant (MDR/RR) forms of the disease. This protocol seeks to conduct the TB clinical trial combining the 8-methoxyfluroquinolone and optimised dose of rifamycing to address two questions. The first is to confirm the non-inferiority of a four-month optimised dose rifamycin and moxifloxacin-based regimen amongst African TB patient populations with high rates of co-incident HIV. Secondly, we seek to establish that the rifamycin of choice in potent 4-month anti-TB treatments could be rifampicin as this will be more rapidly up-scalable for public health impact.

This is a single-arm, open-label study evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Iberdomide (CC-220) in combination with Elotuzumab and Dexamethasone in patients with RRMM. The researchers hypothesize that the combination of Iberdomide and Elotuzumab will synergize to promote myeloma cell death, resulting in an overall response rate of at least 53%, with an acceptable safety profile. Patients will be enrolled in a 3+3 dose escalation cohort to evaluate the safety of this combination and to establish the MTD (maximum tolerated dose). The MTD will be the dose for the patients enrolled in dose expansion cohort. A total maximum of 37 patients will be recruited: maximum 18 patients will be recruited in the dose escalation phase, followed by an additional 19 patients in the dose expansion cohort for a total of 25 patients treated at the MTD.

The main aim of this study is to determine safety and tolerability of modakafusp alfa given together with daratumumab to find out the best treatment dose. Another aim of this study is to learn more about the characteristics of modakafusp alfa.

This is a randomized, open-label study. Patients will be screened within 28 days prior to the study drug administration. Patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms prior to study drug administration. Approximately 40 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the following treatment arms: GPC-100 in combination with propranolol; or GPC-100 in combination with propranolol and G-CSF. To characterize the safety and clinical activity of GPC-100, the study will employ a Bayesian Optimal Phase II (BOP2) design to enroll patients for each arm. All patients will receive via IV 3.14 mg/kg GPC-100 (Burixafor) at least 2 hours prior to leukapheresis sessions from Days 7-8 (Days 9-11 optional) and 30 mg propranolol (3 x 10 mg tablets) twice daily at 8:30 AM (+/- 1 hr) and 4:00 PM (+/- 1 hr) local time from Days 1 to 8 (and on Days 9-11, if applicable). Patients will administer the first dose of propranolol onsite on Day 1. Patients will be provided with doses of propranolol for self-administration at time points when they are not otherwise required to be onsite. Sites should contact patients via telephone to confirm propranolol administration for doses administered outside of clinic.

Endurance training is a cornerstone of rehabilitation in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) due to its beneficial effects on multiple MS-related symptoms, such as health-related quality of life, aerobic capacity (VO2peak), functional mobility, gait, depressive symptoms, and fatigue. Persons with progressive phenotypes of MS, namely primary progressive MS (PPMS) and secondary progressive (SPMS), represent a minor proportion of the total MS population, thus having been underrepresented in previous studies. The generalizability of existing evidence may be compromised by differences in symptom expression between MS phenotypes, with a dominance of motor symptoms (i.e., paraspasticity and/or paraparesis) in PPMS and SPMS. Adding up to this, clinical experiences of neurologists and sports scientists reveal that the effects of endurance exercise are characterized by a distinct time course, firstly inducing a minor and transient deterioration of motor symptoms that is followed by motor symptom alleviation beyond baseline level. This phenomenon was mainly related to the performance of High-Intensity Interval training (HIIT), but not to moderate-intensity continuous training (MCT). Therefore, this pilot study aims to systematically investigate the time course of acute motor effects on spasticity, functional mobility, gait, and dexterity in persons with PPMS and SPMS following two different endurance training protocols, that are HIIT and MCT.

Trivalent chromium has shown good results in abolishing inflammation and had a successful result in treating animal model of rheumatoid arthritis. In addition to that, trivalent chromium lacks many side effects which are related to the already known medications of the disease. So this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of trivalent chromium supplementation in rheumatoid arthritis treatment and measuring the outcomes of that in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
