Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crovalimab in pediatric participants with aHUS.
The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to determine whether iptacopan (LNP023) is efficacious and safe for the treatment of aHUS in adult patients who are treatment naive to complement inhibitor therapy.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crovalimab in adult and adolescent participants with aHUS.
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a severe and life-threatening condition, often affecting the kidneys and brain. It can occur on the background of various clinical conditions. Dysregulation of the alternative pathway of complement may be the etiological factor and this type of TMA is classified, according to the current nomenclature, as primary atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Half the patients with primary atypical HUS present with rare variants in complement genes, although coexisting conditions are often needed for the TMA to become manifest. In patients with secondary atypical HUS, certain coexisting conditions appear to drive the disease and treatment should target the underlying condition to remit the TMA. Recently, the investigators demonstrated, by using a novel in-house developed functional endothelial cell-based test, that complement dysregulation and overactivation is the dominant cause of disease and its sequelae in a subset of patients with secondary atypical HUS, having impact on treatment and prognosis. The investigators did first prove this concept in patients presenting with TMA and hypertensive emergency. A prospective study is needed to further corroborate these findings along the spectrum of TMA. The investigators hypothesize that their functional endothelial cell-based test, the so-called "HMEC" test, can better categorizes the TMA into different groups with potential therapeutic and prognostic implications. Thus, paving the road to the ultimate goal of precision medicine.
A single site observational study aiming to: (i) Identify cases of previously undiagnosed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical haemolytic syndrome (aHUS) in a cohort of women with complicated pregnancies (ii) Characterise the clinical features of these cases and (ii) Identify clinical features or biomarkers which may help distinguish TTP/aHUS from other complications of pregnancy such as preeclampsia
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the platelet count change from baseline and safety of OMS721 in adults and adolescents with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). The study will also evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anti-drug antibody response (ADA).
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.
Post-marketing safety data on patients treated and untreated with eculizumab or ravulizumab.
The general objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Rituximab in the management of patients with refractory or relapsed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS). There have been several case reports and case series describing the use of Rituximab in patients with TTP-HUS; however its use has not been studied in a large trial. It is hypothesized that Rituximab may ameliorate the severity of certain cases of TTP-HUS by decreasing the number of activity of B-cells which may result in decreased production of the ADAMTS13 protease inhibitor. Patients with TTP-HUS not responding to standard therapy or patients with relapsed disease may have particular benefit. Treatments that decrease the frequency of relapse or shorten the time to remission of TTP-HUS will be of benefit by decreasing the need for blood product support.
