Active clinical trials for "Autoimmune Diseases"

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a severe demyelinating disease that selectively involves the optic nerves and the spinal cord but usually spares the brain. NMO is considered to have a B cell induced pathogenesis. Mitoxantrone (MITO, Novantrone®), a synthetic anthracenedione approved for worsening relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) and secondary progressive MS, has been shown to primarily suppress the humoral response. We conducted a prospective 2-year study to evaluate the benefit of MITO in five relapsing NMO patients.

TARGET-AUTOIMMUNE is an observational research study to conduct a comprehensive review of outcomes for patients with autoimmune and related diseases. .

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Tcelna (imilecleucel-T, autologous T-Cell Immunotherapy) is effective in the treatment of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS).

To evaluate for any adverse effects that may be related to the administration and reception of autologous adipose derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF). Secondarily, the study monitors the results of subjective and objective findings as it applies to the non-blinded deployment of autologous SVF for various inflammatory and/or degenerative conditions including select orthopedic, neurologic, urologic and cardio-pulmonary conditions. SVF deployments include intra-venous, intra-articular, and soft tissue injections.

Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) was defined in 2015 by the Working Group of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS) as interstitial pneumonia with some clinical and/or serological features suggesting presence of an underlying autoimmune disorder. However, ofiicial criteria for diagnosis of an autoimmune disease are not met. Aims of the study: Determine the incindence of IPAF in comparison with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and classic autoimmune diseases (ADs) in polish pulmonological centers. Clinical, serological, functional and radiological and histopathological characteristics of IPAF patients. Analysis of diagnostic strategies towards specific IPAF subgroups. Characterictics of potencial diagnostic, predictive and prognostic features of IPAF. Prospective assessment of IPAF patients in the courseof 5 years in order to determine stability of the diagnosis and potential progression to other diseases, e.g. ADs.

This study is a phase II of effcicacy and tolerance of azacitidine in patients with myelodysplatic syndrome and steroid dependent or resistent systemic auto-immune and inflammatory disorders

Previous clinical studies of immediate release (IR) formulations of GSK2982772 resulted in a high peak to trough ratio of GSK2982772. Additionally, the short half-life for GSK2982772 (approximately 2 to 3 hours) necessitates twice a daily (BID) or thrice daily (TID) dosing of an IR formulation. As a result, MR formulations using a polymer matrix approach with minitablets in capsule and MR tablet formulations were investigated. The emerging PK data of the MR formulations investigated to date have demonstrated that a once daily (QD) PK profile can be achieved in the fasted state but the polymer matrix formulation is susceptible to food effects when administered with a high fat breakfast. The purpose of this study is to evaluate MR prototype coated tablet formulations. This study will evaluate the PK of MR prototype coated tablet formulations of GSK2982772. The study is divided into two parts; Part A and Part B. The MR tablet coating used in Part A and the initial periods of Part B will have an aperture drilled into the enteric coating of either side of the tablet. This allows some drug release to commence in the stomach whilst providing controlled release throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In Part B only, a new investigational medicinal product (IMP) will be manufactured to allow comparison of the tablet coating either with apertures (i.e., drilled) or without apertures (i.e., full coat/non drilled). Part A will be a 6-period, 6-way fixed sequence design, up to 4 MR tablet prototype coated formulations will be evaluated in fasted state at 240 milligrams (mg). Periods 1, 2 and 3 will evaluate MR1, IR tablet and MR2 respectively. Periods 4, 5 and 6 will be flexible and the dosing regimen will be dependent on the outcome of Periods 1 to 3. In addition, the impact of food (high fat meal, standard breakfast or administration 30 or 60 minutes before a standard breakfast) on selected MR prototype coated tablet formulations may also be evaluated in Period 4, 5 or 6 of Part A. Each inpatient period for MR regimens (Periods 1, 3, 4 to 6) will consist of 4 days and 3 nights, and the inpatient period for the IR tablet (Period 2) will consist of 3 days and 2 nights. There will be a minimum washout of 7 days between doses, and a follow-up visit will occur at 7 to 9 days after the last study treatment. The Part B of the study will be a 7-period fixed sequence which will evaluate the selected MR prototype coated tablet formulation(s) at different tablet strengths or as multiple unit doses and with or without apertures in the tablet coatings. There will be an interim review after each period 1 to 5 of Part B to select the dose level, formulation and prandial status for each subsequent period. An interim data review after Part B Period 6 will determine if optional Period 7 is required and the dose level, dosing time (morning or evening), formulation and prandial status for that period. Each inpatient period will consist of a 4-day and 3-night with a minimum of 7 days washout between doses. A follow-up visit will occur at 7 to 9 days after the last study treatment. Approximately 33 subjects will be enrolled in the study. The total duration for Part A will be approximately 10-12 weeks and 10-14 weeks for Part B (including screening period of approximately 4 weeks).

Main objective of this study is to assess BMS-986165 plasma PK following single and multiple oral doses of BMS-986165 in healthy Chinese subjects.

The aim of this study is to determine whether autologous adipose tissue derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells of treatment for chronic autoimmune urticaria is safe and effective.

The purpose of this study to evaluate the translational application of the safe and effective treatment of Narrow-Band Ultraviolet light B-band (NB-UVB) to high-risk COVID-19 patients in an effort to improve their immune and hemostatic imbalance to increase survival and improve outcomes.
