Drug-coated Balloon for Takayasu Arteritis Associated Renal Artery Stenosis

Takayasu Arteritis

Takayasu arteritis associated renal artery stenosis (TARAS) is the biggest cause of hypertension in young people <40 years old. Hypertension caused by renal artery stenosis is usually hard to control in spite of two or more anti-hypertension drugs. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is recommended for hypertension caused by TARAS. In previous clinical practice, we observed relatively effects of PTA on controlling the blood pressure in patients with TARAS. But, high re-stenosis rate was also indicated. Drug coated balloon (DCB)is a new type of PTA, which could improve the re-stenosis rate significantly. In the clinical trials of peripheral vascular disease, it has been confirmed that DCB had lower re-stenosis rate than PTA. However, up to date, no studies was found about the use of DBC in TARAS. Thus, this study was design as a random, double blind trial to evaluated the effects and safety of DCB in the treatment of hypertension caused by TARAS.

Efficiency of Methotrexate and Tofacitinib in Mild and Moderate Patients

Takayasu ArteritisMethotrexate2 more

Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare chronic inflammatory arteritis, which lacks an effective well-accepted intervention strategy. Here we tried to classify TAK patients in 3 levels, including mild, moderate, and severe, and prescribe methotrexate and tofacitinib randomly in mild and moderate patients, to observe the relatively better treatment strategy, facilitating better intervention strategy in TAK patients.

A Pilot Study in Severe Patients With Takayasu Arteritis.

Takayasu ArteritisTocilizumab2 more

Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare chronic inflammatory arteritis, which lacks an effective well-accepted intervention strategy. We classify TAK patients into 3 levels, including mild, moderate, and severe. And the biological agents tocilizumab and adalimumab are randomly prescribed in severe patients, to find out the relatively better treatment strategy, facilitating better intervention strategy in severe TAK patients.

Low Dose Naltrexone to Improve Physical Health in Patients With Vasculitis

Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis (EGPA)Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS)5 more

Naltrexone is an FDA approved drug (for alcoholism) that has found widespread use "off-label" to treat pain and improve quality of life at much lower doses than are used for the approved indication. There are a few scientific studies in three conditions (fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, and multiple sclerosis) that suggest that this drug has benefit and is safe. However, considering the extent of use in other conditions, and uncertainty about the mechanism of action study is needed in a diverse set of diseases, including vasculitis. The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if low dose naltrexone is effective in improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with vasculitis. Although it is a pilot study, a placebo-controlled component is used because of the prominent placebo group effect seen in studies with self-reported subjective outcomes.

Biologics in Refractory Vasculitis

Giant Cell ArteritisTakayasu Arteritis7 more

Vasculitis occur when the body's immune system, rather than protecting the body, attacks blood vessels, causing injury to the vessel and the part of the body it supplies with blood. Vasculitis is rare, and there are a number of different types, which can affect both adults and children. We treat vasculitis with steroids and drugs aiming to damp down the activity of the immune system, but they often cause side effects. Some patients do not improve with this treatment, or cannot tolerate it and their vasculitis worsens; this is known as refractory vasculitis. Patients with refractory vasculitis are at high risk of health complications from the disease and its therapy and are in need of newer more effective treatments with fewer side effects. Biologics are drugs which are designed to precisely target parts of the immune system and may have fewer side effects. Biologics have been used for several years to treat vasculitis, particularly anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis or AAV. However, for many of the rarer types of vasculitis, and especially those vasculitis disease types that are not ANCA-associated, there is little information to support use of biologic therapies as effective treatments. The purpose of this trial is to find out whether biologics are effective and represent value for money for participants with refractory vasculitis. The trial will include patients with Non-ANCA-associated vasculitis (NAAV)
