Active clinical trials for "Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes"

This is a single-center open label study of the IL-1 transfusion protein rilonacept in subjects with Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS), or Schnitzler syndrome (SchS) in Germany. Prospective subjects will be recruited from a patient population previously characterized in an observational study, and from referrals within the German CAPS community; SchS subjects will be recruited through the Charité Patient pool. The Baseline phase will begin with the Screening visit (day -21 = Visit 1) and continue for three weeks; DHAFs (Daily Health Assessment Forms) will be collected from all subjects from Day - 21 to Day 0. DHAF information including MWAS (Muckle-Wells Activity Score), or SCHAS (Schnitzler Activity Score) values from this period will be used for the baseline phase evaluation. Inclusion to receive rilonacept will occur on day 0 (= Visit 2). On day 0 eligible subjects will receive a loading dose of two subcutaneous (S.C.) injections of rilonacept for a total of 320 mg. Subsequent study drug injections of rilonacept 160 mg will be administered once a week for four weeks. After subjects complete this initial 4-week treatment phase, they will be eligible to receive rilonacept 160 mg once weekly for 48 weeks during the extended treatment phase. DHAFs will be used to assess symptoms throughout the study. Overall a max. of 12 subjects with either MWS or SchS will be enrolled.

This study is designed to provide efficacy and safety data for ACZ885 (a fully human anti-interleukin-1beta (anti-IL-1beta) monoclonal antibody) administered as an injection subcutaneously (s.c.) in patients with Muckle-Wells Syndrome. Part I is an 8-week open-label, active treatment period to identify ACZ885 responders. Part II is a double-blind, placebo-controlled period to assess primarily the efficacy of ACZ885 compared to placebo. Part III is an open-label, active treatment period where patients will receive ACZ885 every 8 weeks after withdrawal or completion of Part II.

This study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of canakinumab treatment in Canadian patient diagnosed with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome over a period of 18 months.

This will provided long-term safety and efficacy data for ACZ885 (a fully human anti-interleukin-1β [anti-IL-1β] monoclonal antibody) given as an injection subcutaneously in patients who participated in the CACZ885A2102 (NCT00487708), CACZ885D2201 (NCT00685373) or CACZ885D2304(NCT00465985) studies or newly identified patients with the following cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes: Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome, Muckle-Wells Syndrome or Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease. The duration of this study was 6 months with a maximum duration of 2 years

Background: Autoinflammatory diseases are illnesses that produce episodes of inflammation such as fever, rash, or joint swelling. Some of these diseases can be treated with medications that block the body's reaction to a protein called IL-1, which may be part of the cause of the inflammation. IL-1 blocking agents are very helpful in treating autoinflammatory diseases and have become the standard of care for treatment for some of these diseases. However, more research is needed on related diseases that may be treated with new and currently used IL-1 blocking agents. XOMA 052 is an experimental drug that is currently being tested as a possible treatment for type 2 diabetes. Initial studies have shown that XOMA 052 neutralizes a specific kind of IL-1, and is also active against certain indicators of inflammation. Researchers are interested in determining whether XOMA 052 can be used to treat autoinflammatory and related diseases. Objectives: - To determine the effectiveness of XOMA 052 as a treatment for inflammation in adults with the autoinflammatory diseases Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome (FCAS)/Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS) and Behcet's Disease. Eligibility: FCAS/ MWS: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have a known history of the typical disease. Behcet's Disease: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have evidence of active disease, such as oral or genital ulcers or eye disease. Design: FCAS/MWS Participants Participants will have an overnight evaluation of their disease, including optional tests (e.g., eye or skin exams). Participants who currently take medications to treat their symptoms will stop taking the medication and will be monitored by study researchers. At the first flare of symptoms, participants will begin to receive XOMA 052. Participants will have further tests on days 3, 7, and 10 after the initial dose of XOMA 052. If the disease remains under good control, participants will have a clinical exam every 5 days for up to 10 weeks until another disease flare occurs (determined either by symptoms or by inflammation observed in laboratory studies). If the disease is not well controlled with the initial dose of XOMA 052, participants will have additional doses starting at day 7 until either the disease is controlled or researchers determine that the medication is not effective. Participants will have the option to continue XOMA 052 treatments for up to 1 year. XOMA 052 wil...

Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are caused by innate immunity dysregulation. AID pathophysiology is only partly understood, especially in the case of unclassified AID. Mast cells (MC) are innate immune cells associated with a spectrum of disease between systemic mastocytosis and mast cell activation syndrome. The implication of MC has been shown in cryopyrin associated periodic syndrome (CAPS).Our aim is to evaluate the involvement of MC in AID by assessing clinical and biological signs of MC activation and studying cutaneous and digestive biopsies.

This is a first in human (FIH), single-centre, double -blind, randomised, cross-over, SAD followed by a MAD study of IZD334 conducted in healthy adult participants as well as an open-label cohort in adult patients with CAPS. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and food effect of IZD334 in healthy adult participants, and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and preliminary clinical efficacy of IZD334 in adult patients with CAPS.

The family of inflammatory/autoimmune systemic diseases (IAD) form a continuum from pure inflammatory diseases to pure autoimmune diseases, encompassing a large panel of inflammatory diseases with some autoimmune components, and vice versa. Cross phenotyping of patients with IAD should be heuristic and help revise the nosography and the understanding of these diseases.

A non-interventional, post authorization safety study to evaluate the safety of Kineret in the treatment of Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS) in routine clinical care with regard to serious infections, malignancies, injection site reactions, allergic reactions and medication errors, including re-use of syringe.

The purpose of this observational study is to collect additional information regarding long-term safety and effectiveness of Ilaris in the treatment of CAPS patients in clinical practice.
