Active clinical trials for "Immune System Diseases"

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how a combination of tazemetostat and venetoclax in people with relapsed/refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (R/R NHL). The main questions that this trial aims to answer are what is the best dose of venetoclax to give with tazemetostat to people with R/R NHL; what types of side effects do people with R/R NHL get when taking venetoclax with tazemetostat; and what effects does this combination have on R/R NHL. Participants will need to take pills by mouth every day and regularly come to the clinic for blood work and imagining to monitor side effects and cancer progression. Participants may receive study drugs for up to 24 months.

This study will investigate if the use of motor imagery to practice a balance task is as effective as physically practicing balance tasks as measured by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) in persons with MS. A secondary purpose is to investigate if using a motor imagery balance intervention will limit fatigue typically experienced with physical movement in this population.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is practical to use a newer way to calculate melphalan dose given (called population PK model) in BEAM chemotherapy before AHCT. Standard dose is fixed for everybody and is calculated using height and weight. The population PK model, tested in this study, uses information based on people who have previously received melphalan and aims to calculate an optimal dose separately for each person. Study researchers think that the dose calculated using the population PK model may still be effective but have less side effects than the standard melphalan dose.

Asthma is a common pathology, with a prevalence of 6 to 8% and more than 4 million patients in France. Its management is based on different therapeutic axes. Their use is very dependent on disease control, with therapeutic escalation, from treatment on demand to a combination of them at high dosage, according to the severe asthma's phenotype. Despite these effective therapeutic tools, there is a lack of control of the disease in the vast majority of cases, affecting at least 60% of asthmatics. Among the factors associated with lack of control, non-compliance with inhaled therapies is frequent and requires to be systematically assessed in the absence of control. Its evaluation by definition is complex and variously appreciated, fluctuating from 40 to 80%. The means proposed for evaluating it involve doctor/patient interviews, evaluation of the therapeutic response, questionnaires, evaluation of drug consumption (evaluation of number of empty boxes, integrated electronic device, withdrawal of drugs from pharmacies, etc). Asthma control is commonly evaluated using the validated Asthma Control Test score, in clinical practice and/or in research fields. An ACT score greater than 20 indicates well-controlled asthma. In addition, a change of at least 3 points is likely to indicate a clinically meaningful change in asthma control (Minimally Clinical Important Difference) in an individual patient over time and a change of 4 points or more further reduces the risk that the change is due to measurement error. In the context of severe eosinophilic asthma, Mepolizumab has shown its benefit in controlling asthma, reducing the number of exacerbations and its ability to decrease the use of oral corticosteroids (MENSA, SIRIUS). Mepolizumab is now available in 2 new "ready-to-use" forms: a pre-filled syringe and an auto-injector pen. Both systems can be administered at home either by a nurse or by the patient himself (self-administration). The choice is left to the discretion of the prescribing pulmonologist. These new possibilities of Mepolizumab administration offer greater freedom to the patient, possibly allowing him to empower himself by carrying out his own treatment, without constraint and without being dependent on the availability of a nurse or another healthcare professional qualified to inject Mepolizumab. These new methods of Mepolizumab self- administration also open the field to therapeutic non-compliance, a new problem in the field of biotherapies used for the treatment of severe asthma. The investigator hypothesize a potential therapeutic non-compliance associated with the new method of administration of Mepolizumab, with self-injection by the patient, without the assistance of a nurse. To assess this problem, the investigator propose to compare in a therapeutic trial Mepolizumab administered by pre-filled syringe by a home nurse every month versus Mepolizumab self-administered by auto-injector pen by the patient every month.

This is a phase I/II, single-arm, open-lable study of autologous stem cell transplantation in combination with C-CAR088, an autologous BCMA CAR-T cell product, for patients with ulta high-risk multiple myeloma, defined as failed or unsatisfied responses to front line VRD-based treatment with or without the presence of multiple high-risk cytogenetic features.

ANCA-associated vasculitis is an autoimmune disease that causes damage to blood vessels. This leads to organ damage with the number of organs affected and the severity of damage varying significantly between patients. Vasculitis patients also have a very high risk of heart attacks and strokes, called cardiovascular disease. A chemical called 'endothelin', produced by the blood vessels, causes vessels to stiffen and raises blood pressure and this associates with cardiovascular risk. The investigators have previously shown that by blocking the effects of endothelin you reduce vessel stiffness, lower blood pressure and improve vessel function. However, these studies only blocked endothelin for a few hours. Now, the investigators would like to see if it is possible to maintain these benefits by blocking endothelin for longer. Sparsentan is a tablet that blocks endothelin and lowers blood pressure. The investigators plan to give sparsentan to patients with vasculitis for 6 weeks. To determine if any beneficial effects of sparsentan are due to blood pressure lowering the investigators will give another group of vasculitis patients a tablet called irbesartan which lowers blood pressure but does not block endothelin. The investigators will compare the results between the two groups.

This study conducted in 90 adults living with type 1 diabetes is an interventional single-arm open-label before/after multicentric national study conducted as a clinical investigation according to the law EU 2017/745 art. 62. After a 14-day baseline period during which the patient will use a Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and his current therapy (multiple daily injection or open-loop pump), the patient will start a 42-day treatment period during which he will use the DBLG1 System, a closed loop system (including a DBLG1 handset, a TERUMO MEDISAFE WITH insulin pump, in addition to his Dexcom G6 CGM). An optional 6-week extension period with treatment will be proposed to patients agreeing to pursue the use of the DBLG1 system. The main objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the DBLG1 System with a TERUMO MEDISAFE WITH insulin pump in closed-loop for 6 weeks in 90 adults with type 1 diabetes. Data related to their glycemia, complications, usability and quality of life will be collected. The study is completed when all patients have their "end of study" file completed in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF).

To explore the safety and preliminary efficacy of GNC-038 in patients with relapsed or refractory NHL, and to determine the MTD and RP2D of GNC-038, or the MAD and DLT

This is a 16-week, open label, exploratory study designed to investigate dupilumab's effect on skin barrier function as measured by transepidermal water loss (TEWL) before and after skin tape stripping. During the first 2 treatment weeks, patients will have 2 on-site visits/week, followed by one on-site visit/week up to Week 4, one on-site visit every two weeks from Week 4 to Week 8, and one on-site visit every 4 weeks up to Week 16 End of Treatment phase visit (EoT) thereafter. A follow-up visit by phone 4 weeks after the last study assessment at Week 16 will end the study for each participant (End of Study: EoS). The maximum duration of the study per participant will be 24 weeks.

The trial will evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of ianalumab compared to placebo, given as monthly subcutaneous (s.c.) injection on top of standard-of-care (SoC) treatment in participants with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
