Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

This research study is studying the combination of daratumumab with weekly carfilzomib, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone in people with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma is the condition of returned or previous treatment resistant Multiple Myeloma. This research study involves two study drugs and two standard of care drugs. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: Carfilzomib Daratumumab The names of the standard of care drugs involved in this study are: Dexamethasone Pomalidomide

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are highly prevalent chronic respiratory diseases in the Veteran population. OSA co-occurring with COPD, known as Overlap Syndrome (OVS), is a complex chronic medical condition associated with grave consequences. OVS is highly prevalent in Veterans. Veterans with OVS may be at increased risk for cognitive deficits, poor sleep quality as well as a reduced quality of life (QoL). The overall objective is to study the effects of positive airway pressure therapy on clinical outcomes in patients with OVS.

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab in study participants with CSU who remain symptomatic despite the use of H1 antihistamine (Study A and C: omalizumab naïve; Study B: omalizumab intolerant or incomplete responders) Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab on urticaria activity composite endpoint and itch or hives, separately, at various timepoints To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab on angioedema To demonstrate the efficacy of dupilumab on urticaria control To demonstrate improvement in health-related quality of life and overall disease status and severity To evaluate the ability of dupilumab in reducing the proportion of patients who require treatment with oral corticosteroids (OCS) To evaluate safety outcome measures To evaluate immunogenicity of dupilumab

This is an open-label, historically controlled pilot study investigating the immune effect of Laser Interstitial ThermotHerapy (LITT)+ pembrolizumab in adult patients with a primary cancer approved by the FDA for treatment with an immune-checkpoint inhibitor who have recurrent brain metastasis after prior stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

This is a Phase I/II, interventional, single-arm, open-label, treatment study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Interleukin-7 and Interleukin-15 (IL-7/IL-15) manufactured chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-20/19-T cells as well as the feasibility of a flexible manufacturing schema in adult patients with B cell malignancies that have failed prior therapies.

The aim of this cross-over trial is to assess aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, as a novel treatment to block complement activation in the kidneys and thereby attenuate renal disease and stabilize or improve kidney function and compare it to the currently used treatment with the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril, in patients with the complement-mediated renal disease C3 glomerulopathy. Patients will be randomized to one or the other treatment for the first 6 months and then switch to the other treament for the following 2.5 years. Treatment will continue for altogether 3 years for each patient.

Background: Aggressive B-cell lymphomas can be cured but people with disease that resists treatment or that returns after treatment have poor outcomes with standard therapies. Indolent B-cell lymphomas are generally incurable with standard therapy and treatment is aimed at controlling symptoms and achieving a durable remissions. Researchers want to see if a combination of drugs can help patients with both aggressive and indolent B-cell lymphomas. Objective: To learn if it is safe and effective to give polatuzumab along with venetoclax, ibrutinib, prednisone, obinutuzumab, and lenalidomide to people with certain B-cell lymphomas. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with relapsed and/or refractory B-cell lymphoma who have had at least one prior cancer treatment. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Assessment of how they do their daily activities Blood and urine tests Heart function test Tissue biopsy (if needed) Body imaging scans (may get a contrast agent through an intravenous (IV) catheter) Participants will have a bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy. A needle will be put into the hipbone. Bone marrow will be removed. Participants may give blood, tissue, saliva, or cheek swab samples. They may have optional biopsies. Screening tests will be repeated during the study. Treatment will be given for up to 6 cycles. Each cycle lasts 21 days. Participants will take venetoclax and prednisone tablets by mouth. They will take ibrutinib and lenalidomide capsules by mouth. They will get obinutuzumab and polatuzumab by IV infusion. They will keep a medicine diary. Participants will visit the clinic 30 days after treatment ends. They will have follow-up visits for 5 years. If needed, they can visit their local doctor instead. They may be contacted by phone, mail, etc., for the rest of their life....

This is an open-label single center Phase 1a/1b study with the primary objective of establishing the safety and exploring the efficacy of infusing the ex vivo combination product of cytokine induced memory-like (CIML) NK cells plus KP1237 and low dose IL-2 in newly diagnosed MM patients who have minimal residual disease (MRD+) in first remission prior to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of talquetamab in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma at the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) (Part 3).

The purpose of this umbrella study is to evaluate isatuximab when combined with novel agents with or without dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory myeloma.
