About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for IgG4-related Disease focused on measuring IgG4-related disease, IgG4-RD

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males and females
  • Age 18-70 years old with informed consent
  • Patients with IgG4-RD:

    1. swelling, sclerosing and inflammatory involvement of one or more organ, including sclerosing pancreatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, inflammatory pseudotumors, retroperitoneal or mediastinal fibrosis, interstitial nephritis, hypophysitis, sclerosing dacryoadenitis, sialadenitis, inflammatory aortic aneurysm, lymphadenopathy, or other inflammatory conditions;
    2. elevated serum IgG4 (>1.35 g/L)
    3. histopathologic features of fibrosis and/or lymphocytic and polyclonal plasma cell infiltration (and IgG4+ plasma cells on immunohistology when performed);
    4. exclusion of other diseases.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previously or currently received glucocorticoid and(or) immunomodulator
  • Pregnancy or lactating
  • Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled and/or unstable diseases
  • Patient with malignancy

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

Medium Dose

High Dose

Arm Description

Patients are treated with prednisone or equivlent at doseage of 0.5-0.6 mg/kg/d (max 40mg daily) for 3 weeks, then tapering gradually to 15mg/d in 3 months.

Patients are treated with prednisone or equivlent at doseage of 0.8-1.0 mg/kg/d (max 60mg daily) for 3 weeks, then tapering gradually to 15mg/d in 3 months.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Complete Response
Complete Response(CR) is defined as resolution of clinical manifestations, biochemical tests (C-reactive Proteins and IgG or IgG4 levels), and imaging studies.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Disease Response
Disease Response is measured by IgG4-RD Responder Index(IgG4-RD RI) and defined as: Improvement of > 2 points in the IgG4-RD RI over baseline No disease flares, as assessed by the IgG4-RD RI.
Adverse Effect
Treatment-related adverse effect, including glucocorticoid-induced diabetes mellitus and infections.
