Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes in Treating Patients With Malignancies With BK and/or JC Virus

Acquired Immunodeficiency SyndromeBK Virus Infection6 more

This phase II trial studies how well donor cytotoxic T lymphocytes work in treating patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are made from donated blood cells that are grown in the laboratory and are designed to kill viruses that can cause infections in transplant patients and may be an effective treatment in patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus.

Autologous Stem Cell Transplant for Neurologic Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune DiseaseNeurologic Autoimmune Disease17 more

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine and melphalan together with antithymocyte globulin before a stem cell transplant works in treating patients with autoimmune neurologic disease that did not respond to previous therapy. In autoimmune neurological diseases, the patient's own immune system 'attacks' the nervous system which might include the brain/spinal cord and/or the peripheral nerves. Giving high-dose chemotherapy, including carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan, and antithymocyte globulin, before a stem cell transplant weakens the immune system and may help stop the immune system from 'attacking' a patient's nervous system. When the patient's own (autologous) stem cells are infused into the patient they help the bone marrow make red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets so the blood counts can improve.

Efficacy and Safety of Adjunctive Minocycline in the Treatment of Autoimmune Encephalitis

Autoimmune Encephalitis

Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is an immune-mediated brain disorder characterized by varied clinical manifestations that correlate with specific types of antibodies.Typical symptoms include acute behavioral changes, psychosis, seizures, memory deficits, dyskinesias, speech impairments, and autonomic and respiratory dysregulation.While the majority of patients respond well to immunotherapeutic agents, a significant proportion remains resistant to initial and secondary-line immunotherapies.Minocycline, a semisynthetic tetracycline, is notably used for the central nervous system due to its lipophilic characteristics and its capacity to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. While the primary neuroprotective focus of minocycline in the central nervous system remains unknown, the primary effects of minocycline include the inhibition of microglial activation, mitigation of apoptosis, and reduction in reactive oxygen species generation.Protective effect has been observed in hypoxic injury, ischemic stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, traumatic spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.Can minocycline offer a protective role in AE? Consequently, we proposed a randomized, controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of minocycline in AE.

Trial to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Bortezomib in Patients With Severe Autoimmune Encephalitis...

Autoimmune Encephalitis

Autoimmune Encephalitis is a disorder of the central nervous system caused by bodily substances, called antibodies. Antibodies normally help the body to prevent infections. However, in this disorder, the antibodies turn against the body itself and especially against cells in the brain and disturb the normal brain function. They are therefore called autoantibodies. There is no specific therapy for patients with autoimmune encephalitis so far. At the moment, the symptoms are treated with approved medications such as cortisone and immunotherapies also used in oncology. These therapies are unspecified and aim to reduce the number of autoantibodies and to contain the autoimmune process. In this trial we aim to test a new therapy option: in this therapy the body cells producing autoantibodies will be specifically targeted by a substance called bortezomib. The trial addresses patients with severe autoimmune encephalitis. The aim of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bortezomib in patients with severe autoimmune encephalitis.

The ExTINGUISH Trial of Inebilizumab in NMDAR Encephalitis

Autoimmune EncephalitisEncephalitis

Determine the difference in the modified Rankin score at 16 weeks in participants with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis treated with "first-line" immunomodulatory therapies provided as standard-of-care, and either inebilizumab (investigational agent) or placebo.

Immunotherapy in Autoimmune Encephalitis

Autoimmune Encephalitis

The study is to explore the treatment effects and long-term prognosis (12 months and 24 months after immunotherapy) by comparing the early plasma exchange (PE) combined with medication therapy with the PE after medication immunotherapy in autoimmune encephalitis (AE) patients, to make clear that the early PE can be more effective than the treatment of PE after medication immunotherapy. As well as, the study is to explore whether PE is also effective in AE with autoantibody synthesis in the sheath, positive cerebrospinal fluid antibody and seronegative.

MCLENA-1: A Clinical Trial for the Assessment of Lenalidomide in Amnestic MCI Patients

Cognitive ImpairmentMild5 more

Accumulating evidence indicates that inflammation is prominent both in the blood and central nervous system (CNS) of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. These data suggest that systemic inflammation plays a crucial role in the cause and effects of AD neuropathology. Capitalizing on the experience from a previous clinical trial with thalidomide, here, the investigators hypothesize that modulating both systemic and CNS inflammation via the pleiotropic immunomodulator lenalidomide is a putative therapeutic intervention for AD if administered at a proper time window during the course of the disease.
