Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

The investigators will implement a 24-month fractional factorial design study (Aim 1). The investigators will recruit 510 patients initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) at three City of Cape Town ART clinics. Each patient will have adherence monitored using the Wisepill® electronic adherence monitoring device (EAM). After eligibility has been confirmed, each participant will be randomized to one of 16 experimental conditions. Each condition includes a unique combination of five adherence intervention components. Three of these components focus on identifying individuals with poor adherence, with increasing degrees of sophistication, with immediate linkage to adherence support. Two components focus on supporting good adherence. They both supplement the existing adherence support program delivered at the study clinics operated by City of Cape Town (standard of care component). Based on Self-Determination Theory, the investigators postulate these intervention components will: 1) enhance feelings of autonomy support, social support, and knowledge; 2) improve motivation and self-competence; and 3) increase ART retention, adherence, and viral suppression. A subset of the participants, as well as clinic staff, will be invited to in-depth interviews to explore mediating factors (Aim 1) and the implementation process (Aim 2); and the data collected in Aims 1 and 2 will be used to explore cost effectiveness (Aim 3).

There is no standard of care therapy for patients with granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) seen in common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). Abatacept has recently looked promising for the treatment of patients with complex CVID. This study is a multi-site, phase II, randomized, blinded/placebo-controlled clinical trial in pediatric and adult subjects to determine the efficacy of abatacept compared to placebo for treatment of subjects with GLILD in the context of CVID.

The goal of this clinical study is to test how well the study drug, lenacapavir (LEN), works in preventing the risk of HIV.

Determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of VIP152 in patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Richter Syndrome

This phase Ib/II trial is evaluating the efficacy and side effect of orelabrutinib and sintilimab as possible treatments for relapsed or refractory central nervous system lymphoma.

Phase 1 study comprised of open-label, dose escalation, multiple cohorts of P-BCMA-ALLO1 allogeneic T stem cell memory (Tscm) CAR-T cells in subjects with relapsed / refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM).

The purpose of this study is to find out whether the combination of pembrolizumab and gemcitabine is an effective treatment for mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome.

Background: During a transplant, blood stem cells from one person are given to someone else. The cells grow into the different cells that make up the immune system. This can cure people with certain immunodeficiencies. But transplant has many risks and complications. Objective: To see if stem cell transplant can be successfully performed in people with primary immunodeficiency disease and cure them. Eligibility: People ages 4-69 for whom a primary immunodeficiency (PID) or Primary Immune Regulatory Disorder (PIRD), has caused significant health problems and either standard management has not worked or there are no standard management options, along with their donors Design: Donors will be screened under protocol 01-C-0129. They will donate blood or bone marrow. Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood, urine, and heart tests CT or PET scans Before transplant, participants will have dental and eye exams. They will have a bone marrow biopsy. For this, a needle will be inserted through the skin into the pelvis to remove marrow. Participants will be hospitalized before their transplant. They will have a central catheter put into a vein in their chest or neck. They will get medications through the catheter to prevent complications. Participants will get stem cells through the catheter. They will stay in the hospital for at least 4 weeks. They will give blood, urine, bone marrow, and stool samples. They may need blood transfusions. They may need more scans. They will take more medications. Participants will have visits on days 30, 60, 100, 180, and 360, and 24 months after the transplant. Then they will have visits once a year for about 5 years

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab, apatinib, pegaspargase (CAPA) and as an intruction immunotherapy with radiotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with de novo stage IE/IIE extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type.

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of sub-tenon aflibercept in combination with either saline or hyaluronidase (HA) in patients with acute Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) as assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events from baseline to day 45. Participants will undergo clinical examinations and receive three injections of aflibercept with saline, aflibercept with hyaluronidase, or hyaluronidase.
