Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatment with branebrutinib treatment in participants with active systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS), or branebrutinib treatment followed by open-label abatacept treatment in study participants with active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
Treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus with pooled allogenic mesenchymal stem cells
Patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease (CIR) are at increased risk for infections. Vaccination is a powerful tool to prevent infections, even in immunocompromised patients. Low-risk types of Human papilloma virus (HPV) cause anogenital warts, while high risk types are strongly related to pre-malignant cervical abnormalities and cervical cancer. HPV vaccines have been developed to prevent these conditions. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are more prevalent in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients or other auto-immune diseases when compared to the healthy population. In France, despite a vaccination available since 2007, rate of vaccination remain low. Although little is known about HPV vaccination in SLE, few studies in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) have shown that HPV vaccines are safe, and capable to induce an immunogenic response in this group of patients. To date, available data suggest that HPV vaccines can be given safely to SLE patients. Given the increased incidence of cervical abnormalities due to HPV in SLE patients, this vaccination should be encouraged. The aim of this study was to assess the vaccination coverage rate in chronically ill girls with SLE or idiopathic juvenile arthritis who require a close pediatric specialized follow-up vaccination and to understand barriers or motivations for it.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of repeat doses of 200 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL) belimumab administered via SC injection in pediatric participants 5 to 17 years of age with SLE on a background of standard of care therapy. This bridging PK study is part of an extrapolation strategy to support the use of SC belimumab in pediatric SLE participants, based on the completed adult SLE study with SC belimumab and the pediatric SLE study with intravenous (IV) belimumab. Part A is an open label 12-week treatment phase where participants will be enrolled and allocated to treatment cohorts based on their body weight at baseline. The dose and dosing regimens selected for SC administration in this pediatric population are intended to achieve a similar average exposure as observed with the weekly 200 mg SC dosing regimen in adult SLE patients. Part B is an optional 40-week open-label continuation phase, open to all participants who have completed Part A. Dosing of SC belimumab may continue at the same frequency in Part B or may require a change in frequency according to changes in participant body weight. The total duration of the study will be 68 weeks including a 12-Week open label treatment phase (Part A), an optional 40-week open-label continuation phase (Part B) and 16-week follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a type of non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on patients diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who are experiencing depression. Targeting depression in patients with SLE may provide benefit to these patients, as there is a clear relationship between chronic pain and depression. The investigators propose that a tACS stimulation montage that was previously used in depression could be beneficial to patients with SLE, resulting in reduced depression symptoms, thus resulting in reduced chronic pain and cognitive difficulties.
This is an open-label, randomized, parallel group, single dose study in healthy Chinese subjects. The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile and safety profile of 200 mg single dose of belimumab, administered either intravenously or subcutaneously via auto-injector. Each subject will be randomized in a 1:2 ratio to receive a single dose of either intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) administration of belimumab 200 mg. The total study duration will be approximately 13 weeks.
This is a multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and clinical activity of itolizumab (EQ001) in subjects with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with or without Active Proliferative Lupus Nephritis
Several clinical studies have shown that rituximab is safe and effective for the induction of remission in moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus, and has been recommended by several guidelines for the induction of remission in refractory lupus with important organ involvement. However, there are few studies on the use of rituximab in the long-term maintenance and remission of the disease. There is no recognized scheme for the dose, interval and course of treatment of the drug. In this study, patients with moderate and severe systemic lupus erythematosus who achieved remission after standardized treatment were randomly divided into two groups at 1:1 and followed up every 3 months for 24 months. The basic situation and disease activity score of each subject were recorded. The recurrence rate of each observation group was calculated, the influencing factors of disease recurrence were analyzed, and a more reasonable drug use scheme was explored.
The aim of this study is to investigate the value of several hematological indices such as: - neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio. - platelet-lymphocyte ratio. - red blood cell distribution width. - mean platelet volume (MPV), RDW/platelet ratio. - neutrophil / C3 ratio. - All these as biomarkers of activity in systemic lupus erythematosis patients.
Background: lupus is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease with autoantibodies formation. Lupus nephritis carries the worst prognosis. C1q deficiency correlates with activity and renal involvement and may help in its evaluation. Therapies include plasma exchange, immune adsorption and recently under evaluation, hemodiafiltration with on-line endogenous re infusion (HFR), in addition to traditional immunosuppressive therapies. Aim: is to evaluate the role of HFR in improving signs and symptoms of SLE activity and laboratory parameters not responding to traditional immune suppressive therapy
