Active clinical trials for "Dermatomyositis"

The MYOCIT study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in association with corticosteroids in new-onset patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) in a phase II trial with the objective to obtain a better efficacy than the conventional combination methotrexate (MTX) and corticosteroids over the 24 week study period. Thus, the investigators hypothesize that baricitinib could be used as a first line treatment in all forms of DMJ, including the most severe one, with a good safety profile.

We conduct this study to investigate the efficacy of triple therapy (high-dose glucocorticoids + cyclophosphamide + calcineurin inhibitor) compared with dual-therapy regimens (high-dose glucocorticoids + cyclophosphamide/calcineurin inhibitor) and whether it reduces the risk of poor pulmonary prognosis in patients with moderate to high risk anti-MDA5+ DM.

This is a single arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD19 targeted CAR-T cells therapy for patients with Refractory Autoimmune Disease

This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of IgPro20 (subcutaneous Ig) treatment in adult subjects with dermatomyositis (DM). The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of IgPro20 subcutaneous (SC) doses in comparison to placebo in adult subjects with DM, as measured by responder status based on Total Improvement Score (TIS) assessments.

A Clinical Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of Targeting CD7 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in the Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases

This is a Phase 2/3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of ravulizumab in adult participants with dermatomyositis (DM).

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) based on the safety and tolerability after single-dose administration of PN-101 in patients with refractory polymyositis or dermatomyositis. To explore the efficacy after single-dose administration of PN-101 in patients with refractory polymyositis or dermatomyositis.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of low-dose IL-2 on refractory dermatomyositis and immunological indexes.

Introduction: Patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), psoriatic arthritis (PAs), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) , systemic sclerosis (SSc), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and primary vasculitides, have a high risk of herpes zoster (HZ) infection. This increased susceptibility is caused by a deficient cell-mediated immune response due to the underlying disease and glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive treatments that impair the T-cell response, including conventional and unconventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biological agents. In this context, the recent availability of a recombinant vaccine against HZ (RZV or Shingrix®), composed of recombinant VZV glycoprotein E (gE) and the AS01B adjuvant system (HZ/su), is a major progress regarding safety for immunosuppressed patients. Its effectiveness, however, has been clearly demonstrated for non-immunosuppressed patients and in selected populations of immunocompromised individuals. There are no prospective controlled studies evaluating the immunogenicity of RZV and its impact on the activity of the underlying disease, as well as its safety in patients with ARDs at high-risk for HZ. Hypothesis: RZV has a good safety profile, including with respect to underlying rheumatic disease activity, in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ. Objectives: Primary: To assess the short-term safety profile in relation to underlying disease activity in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV compared to unvaccinated patients. Secondary: To evaluate the general safety of the vaccine in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV and non-immunosuppressed control subjects (CG); the humoral and cellular immunogenicity of RZV in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ compared to CG; the influence of disease treatment on vaccine response; the 12-month persistence of humoral immunogenicity and incident cases of HZ. Specific studies will also be carried out to evaluate the effect of drug withdrawal (methotrexate-MTX and mycophenolate mofetil-MMF) after vaccination in increasing the immune response in patients with ARDs with controlled underlying disease.

TRACER is a study aiming to investigate the feasibility of transition coaching sessions for patients moving from paediatric to adult rheumatology care.
