NCT ID: NCT06363903 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Pelvic Organ Prolapse

ASIA-Mesh: a Pilot Study for Diagnostics and Treatment on ASIA Syndrome Caused by Polypropylene Mesh Implantation

Start date: May 9, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

In the present pilot study, a possible relation between the implantation of PP mesh for inguinal hernia, vaginal prolapse and SUI repair and subsequent systemic auto-immune complaints is investigated by testing immunologic and allergic responses in fifty patients with suspected ASIA syndrome. Additional value of MAT is investigated and effectiveness of (partial) PP mesh removal for these complaints is assessed. If so, a profound insight in diagnostics and treatment for systematic complaints will be attained that may provide opportunities for future diagnostics.

NCT ID: NCT05928585 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Immune System Diseases

A Study of Safety and Drug Levels of HIB210 in Healthy Volunteers

Start date: July 6, 2023
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test safety of the investigational product in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer is when HIB210 is administered as multiple doses, is it: 1. Safe 2. Well tolerated 3. Does the body absorb and eliminate HIB210 as expected

NCT ID: NCT05894746 Recruiting - Diabetes Clinical Trials

Gfree - For Improved Blood Sugar and Reduced Inflammation.

Start date: May 4, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to reduce inflammation and improve glycemic control in healthy volunteers, parents, as well as children, adolescents and adults with or without diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: • does a reduction wheat gluten improve glycemic control and/or inflammatory biomarkers • does a reduction in certain amino acids (which is most common in wheat gluten) improve glycemic control and/or inflammatory biomarkers • can we identify individuals with an inflammatory response, which leads to poor glycemic control. Participants will eat gluten-free products as well as similar products containing gluten. They will also eat gluten together with probiotics to see if an effect of gluten can be reduced. Researchers will compare everyone with themselves (cross-over design) and if possible individuals with and without diabetes.

NCT ID: NCT04859829 Terminated - Autoimmunity Clinical Trials

Autoimmune Gastrointestinal Dysmotility: Symptoms, Pathogenesis and Treatment

Start date: April 22, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Autoimmune gastrointestinal dysmotility syndromes are poorly understood, and often difficult to treat because the underlying pathogenesis is unclear. Refractory symptoms result in an impaired quality of life. The presence of positive serum autoantibodies to peripheral nervous system gangliosides and glycoproteins is suggestive of a possible mechanism. Immunomodulator treatments have shown benefit in case reports and case series but standardized data for treatment response is lacking. Therefore, our primary aims are to further characterize this syndrome in terms of symptoms, laboratory testing, pathology, and assess treatment response of immunomodulator therapy. Our research plan involves identifying this subset of patients with autoimmune gastrointestinal dysmotility and dysautonomia, and studying them as they are managed by their gastroenterologists.The study team will administer symptom-based questionnaires in a systematic manner to assess the clinical trajectory of this population and treatment response. The investigators will also analyze laboratory values (antibody titers, tilt testing, inflammatory markers) and study pathology specimens (enteric and skin biopsies) obtained from this cohort to gain a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of their disease.

NCT ID: NCT04791150 Recruiting - Arthritis Clinical Trials

Rheumatologic Adverse Events and Cancer Immunotherapy

Start date: May 7, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this study, every patient with cancer who is going to be treated by immunotherapy will fill in a form. In this form, we try to determine if he presents rheumatologic complications of his immunotherapy. If the patient answers yes to one question on the form, the patient will be see in rheumatologic consultation to explore his clinical signs. The number of patients referred in consultation thanks to this questionnaire will be compared to the number of patients who would have been spontaneously referred by the oncologist. The aim of this questionnaire is to optimise the management of rheumatological effects secondary to immunotherapy.

NCT ID: NCT04521790 Recruiting - Arrhythmia Clinical Trials

Role of Endomyocardial Biopsy and Aetiology-based Treatment in Patients With Inflammatory Heart Disease in Arrhythmic and Non-arrhythmic Clinical Presentations: an Integrated Approach for the Optimal Diagnostic and Therapeutic Management

MYOCAR
Start date: January 30, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Myocarditis is a complex inflammatory disease, usually occurring secondary to viral infections, autoimmune processes or toxic agents. Clinical presentations are multiple, including chest-pain, heart failure and a broad spectrum of arrhythmias. In turn, outcome is largely unpredictable, ranging from mild self-limiting disease, to chronic stage and progressive evolution towards dilated cardiomyopathy, to rapid adverse outcome in fulminant forms. Subsequently, myocarditis is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, and optimal diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are still to be defined. This study, both retrospective and prospective, originally single-center and subsequently upgraded to multicenter, aims at answering multiple questions about myocarditis, with special attention to its arrhythmic manifestations. 1. Optimal diagnostic workflow is still to be defined. In fact, although endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is still the diagnostic gold standard, especially for aetiology identification, it is an invasive technique. Furthermore, it may lack sensitivity because of sampling errors. By converse, modern imaging techniques - cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in particular - have been proposed as alternative or complementary diagnostic tool in inflammatory heart disease. Other noninvasive diagnostic techniques, like delayed-enhanced CT (DECT) scan or position emission tomography (PET) scan, are under investigation. 2. Biomarkers to identify myocarditis aetiology, predisposition, prognosis and response to treatment are still to be defined. 3. Arrhythmic myocarditis is largely underdiagnosed and uninvestigated. Importantly, myocarditis presenting with arrhythmias requires specific diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic considerations. At the group leader hospital, which is an international referral center for ventricular arrhythmias management and ablation, a relevant number of patients with unexplained arrhythmias had myocarditis as underlying aetiology. The experience of a dedicated third-level center is going to be shared with other centers, to considerably improve knowledge and management of arrhythmic myocarditis. 4. The role of CMR, as well as alternative noninvasive imaging techniques, in defining myocarditis healing is a relevant issue. In particular, optimal timing for follow-up diagnostic reassessment is still to be defined, in patients with myocarditis at different inflammatory stages, either with or without aetiology-dependent treatment. 5. Uniformly-designed studies are lacking, to compare myocarditis among different patient subgroups, differing by variables like: clinical presentations, myocarditis stage, associated cardiac or extra-cardiac diseases, aetiology-based treatment, associated arrhythmic manifestations, diagnostic workup, and devices or ablation treatment.

NCT ID: NCT04119713 Recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

Autoimmunity After Checkpoint Blockade

NCT ID: NCT03206099 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Primary Immunodeficiency

NIAID Centralized Sequencing Protocol

Start date: July 31, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: Genetic testing called "sequencing" helps researchers look at DNA. Genes are made of DNA and are the instructions for our bodies to function. We all have thousands of genes. DNA variants are differences in genes between two people. We all have lots of variants. Most are harmless and some cause differences like blue or brown eyes. A few variants can cause health problems. Objective: To understand the genetics of immune disorders various health conditions, as well as outcomes of clinical genomics and genetic counseling services performed under this protocol. Eligibility: Participants in other NIH human subjects research protocols - either at the NIH Clinical Center (CC) or at Children s National Health System (CNHS) - (aged 0-99 years), and, in select cases, their biological relatives Design: Researchers will study participant s DNA extracted from blood, saliva, or another tissue sample, including previously collected samples we may have stored at the NIH. Researchers will look at participant s DNA in great detail. We are looking for differences in the DNA sequence or structure between participants and other people. Participants will receive results that: - Are important to their health - Have been confirmed in a clinical lab - Suggest that they could be at risk for serious disease that may affect your current or future medical management. Some genetic information we return to participants may be of uncertain importance. If genetic test results are unrelated to the participant s NIH evaluations, then we will not typically report: - Normal variants - Information about progressive, fatal conditions that have no effective treatment - Carrier status (conditions you don t have but could pass on) The samples and data will be saved for future research. Personal data will be kept as private as possible. If future studies need new information, participants may be contacted.
