Active clinical trials for "Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome"

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of statins on chronic inflammation, coronary artery abnormalities and clinical cardiac events in long-term KD children complicated with severe coronary artery abnormalities, and the feasibility and safety of statins in treatment of KD children.

Recent studies showed that the value of c100A12 increased in children with Kawasaki disease, and decreased rapidly after treatment with gamma globulin. In kawasaki disease with coronary artery dilatation, S100A12 levels are elevated in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease and continue for some time in the convalescence phase before gradually decreasing. However, the number of patients included in previous studies was small and the follow-up time was short. In this study, 100 children with Kawasaki disease who were admitted to Wuhan Children's Hospital, Jingzhou First People's Hospital and Renhe Hospital affiliated to China Three Gorges University from December 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research objects, and 100 children with healthy physical examination were selected as the control group during the same period. To investigate whether S100A12 increased significantly in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease compared with a healthy control group. To study whether S100A12 value increased rather than decreased in kawasaki disease that did not respond to gamma globulin treatment after gamma globulin treatment. At the same time, to study whether the increase of S100A12 in kawasaki disease convalescence indicates coronary aneurysm.

The study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of anakinra, an interleukin 1 receptor antagonist, in patients with Kawasaki disease who failed to respond to standard treatment:e.g. one infusion of 2g/kg of intravenous immunoglobulins.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of infliximab to the children who don't respond to the first dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (2g/kg) in Kawasaki disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose human Immunoglobulin G Intravenous (IGIV) 10% in subjects with Kawasaki diseases (KD).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TA-650 in comparison with a control drug Polyethylene Glycol-treated Human Immunoglobulin (VGIH) in patients with Kawasaki disease refractory to initial therapy with Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG). The pharmacokinetics of TA-650 is also examined.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the developed world. Despite available treatment, 25% of children in San Diego County appropriately treated for KD develop coronary artery abnormalities that may lead to complications later in life, including heart attack. Although the investigators can identify children with KD that have these coronary artery abnormalities, there is no approved additional treatment to decrease coronary artery inflammation and arrest or prevent damage to the coronary arteries. Anakinra, a therapy that blocks the high levels of interleukin 1 (IL1) that lead to inflammation during acute KD, has been shown in the KD mouse model to prevent the development of coronary artery damage. Therefore, the investigators propose to study the safety and activity of anakinra in infants and children < 2 years old with coronary artery abnormalities from KD.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% (IGIV 10%) in subjects with primary immunodeficiency disorders.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Etanercept (Enbrel) when used in conjunction with IVIG and aspirin, improves treatment response to IVIG in patients with Kawasaki Disease. Funding Source- FDA/OOPD

Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the developed world. Despite available treatment, 25% of children in San Diego County appropriately treated for KD develop coronary artery abnormalities that could lead to complications later in life, including heart attack. Although investigators can identify children with KD that have these coronary artery abnormalities, there is no approved additional treatment to decrease coronary artery inflammation and arrest or prevent damage to the coronary arteries. Inflammation and damage to the arterial wall is central to these coronary artery abnormalities. Statins, a class of drugs that is known for lowering cholesterol, have also been shown to decrease inflammation in general as well as at the level of the vessel wall. Therefore, the investigators propose to study the safety of the drug atorvastatin in children with coronary artery abnormalities from KD.
