Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

MS is a chronic inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) affecting more than 120,000 people in the UK.and 2.5 million people worldwide. Without disease modifying treatment (DMT),the majority of people with MS (pwMS) will develop significant disability within 10 years of onset, and 50% will require wheelchair assistance within 20 years. convenient, highly effective and CNS penetrant DMT for patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (pwRMS) administered in short (8-10 days/year over 2 years) treatment courses. It effectively depletes B cells, particularly Memory B cells, a likely key mechanism of disease control in MS. Cladribine is the investigational product in this study as it not currently used to treat patients with an EDSS of 6.5 - 8.5. This is a multi-centre, randomised double-blind placebo-controlled phase IIb to test cladribine tablets (MAVENCLAD®) (3.5mg/kg over 24 months) for safety, efficacy, and cost effectiveness, and to advance mechanistic understanding of its action in people with advanced MS (pwAMS).

This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ex-vivo expanded allogeneic γδT cells obtained from a blood-related donor of patients with relapsed or refractory B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) or peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) expect for γδT lymphoma.

A Phase 1 Study Evaluating BAFFR-targeting CAR T Cells for Patients with Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

This is a phase I, interventional, single arm, open label, treatment study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of anti-CD5 CART cells in patients with relapsed and/or refractory T cell lymphoma or leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to infuse BCMA CAR-NK cells（Umbilical & Cord Blood (CB) Derived CAR-Engineered NK Cells） to the patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM), to assess the safety and feasibility of this strategy. The CAR enables the NK cells to recognize and kill the MM cells by targeting of BCMA, a protein expressed of the surface of the malignant plasma cells in MM patients.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of HR19042 capsules compared to matching placebo for the treatment of primary IgA nephropathy, and explore the optimal dose for the treatment.

Most children with asthma have concurrent atopy (allergic inflammation), which is associated with an improved response to ICS. However, the absence of an atopic phenotype is associated with a poorer ICS response, leaving clinicians with limited treatment options. The nonatopic asthma phenotype has been characterized as the absence of atopic diseases including allergic rhinitis, eczema, or food allergies, and a negative skin prick test to common aeroallergens. Children with mild asthma treated with ICS over 44 weeks without a positive allergen skin test are 3 times more likely to have an asthma exacerbation when compared with children with positive skin tests. Similarly, adolescents and adults with asthma with low blood eosinophils or low sputum eosinophils have no difference in exacerbation rate response to ICS compared with placebo. Due to poor ICS response in nonatopic children and the known adverse effects of ICS, the development of non-steroid treatments options is needed. Monotherapy with the long-acting muscarinic antagonist, tiotropium, was superior to placebo for treatment failure outcomes in adolescents and adults with low sputum eosinophil levels. Tiotropium is approved in children as an add on therapy to ICS in children ≥ 6 years with asthma. But, this combination of treatment would still expose children with nonatopic asthma to the risks (but potentially without the benefit) of ICS therapy. The objective of this study is to conduct a feasibility pilot safety study of 6-weeks treatment with tiotropium monotherapy vs. ICS in children ages 6 to 11 years old with nonatopic mild persistent asthma.

The overall goal of this research project is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of nicotine replacement therapy preloading (NRT-P) in HIV-positive smokers, who are struggling with cigarette dependence, urge to smoke (craving) and low self-efficacy as barriers to successful smoking cessation. Sixty participants will be recruited into a 16-week randomized pilot study. Thirty participants (control condition) will receive standard smoking cessation counseling (NRT-S) and will initiate an 8-week course of combination nicotine patch and lozenge (or gum, based on preference) on quit date (week 4), consistent with recommended guidelines based on smoking rate. Thirty participants (active condition) will start NRT patch 3 weeks prior to quit date, followed by an 8-week course of combination nicotine patch and lozenge (or gum, based on preference), initiated on quit date. The investigators will examine dependence, urge to smoke and self-efficacy for quitting prior to and following quit date. The investigators will also examine differences in quit attempts and biochemically validated smoking abstinence between the control and active conditions at weeks 8, 12, and 16.

This phase 2 trial studies the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib plus rituximab followed by maintenance with orelabrutinib for relapsed and refractory follicular lymphoma(RR FL)
