Filter by:Because of multiple system involvement, patients with Scleroderma have complaints such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, functional limitations, skin deformations, pain, swollen hands and joint pain. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Tai Chi exercise program on trunk endurance, balance, sleep, fatigue, anxiety and depression in patients with scleroderma.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder with a significant impact on health and quality of life. The non-pharmacological interventions address to psychological sequalae currently available are limited and have poor efficacy. Well-Being Therapy (WBT) is a brief psychotherapy which has shown efficacy in decreasing the relapse rates of depression in adults, in generalized anxiety disorder and in cyclothymia. WBT has never been tested in SSc and it might represent a useful complementary therapeutic option to improve SSc patients' well-being. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the psychological status of the SSc patients and to test the efficacy of WBT in a sample of SSc patients if compared to a control condition.
The Sclero-JAK project aims to assess the impact of a JAK1/2 inhibitor (ruxolitinib) on activation states of monocytes-derived macrophages (MDM) from systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients
The DupiMorph study evaluates the efficacy of Dupilumab in localized scleroderma patients. Dupilumab is approved in the US and EU for the treatment of moderate/severe atopic dermatitis and since 2018 in the US for severe asthma therapy.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of physiotherapy and rehabilitation program on hand involvement of patients with scleroderma and to compare the effects of home rehabilitation program and rehabilitation program under physiotherapist supervision. At the end of the study, the rehabilitation program under the supervision of physiotherapist and home exercise program will be compared with the effects of these applications on range of motion, grip strength, function and sensation. Since there are a limited number of randomized controlled studies in the literature on this subject and there is no randomized controlled clinical study on the superiority of physiotherapist supervision and home program, it will contribute to the information regarding the rehabilitation of scleroderma patients.
Prospective monocentric study of patients with systemic sclerosis disease. The primary outcome is to define the prevalence of olfactory disorders (hyposmia and anosmia) in systemic sclerosis disease. The secondary outcomes are: - To assess the correlation of olfaction disorders with clinical and biological and factors related to systemic sclerosis patients. - To estimate the frequency of sinonasal disorders in patients with systemic sclerosis disease
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of EHP-101 in adult subjects with diffuse cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (dcSSc).
No studies have investigated the expression of miRNAs in Dig-ScS tissues. In the absence of specific treatment for this frequent impairment in this connectivity, the team proposes to study miRNA profiles in the esophagus and duodenum to identify new therapeutic targets. The team is studying the involvement of pro-fibrotic "key" miRNAs called "FibromiRs", including 3 miRNAs from the DNM3os locus (miR-199a-3p, miR-199a-5p and miR-214 - characterized by the host laboratory) associated with monitoring the response to TGF-β in fibroblasts and their potential interaction with pharmacological treatments such as nintedanib and/or PPARγ agonists. The approach is part of a pilot study that can lead to a larger project after validation of the hypotheses. It also seems interesting to make a precise anatomopathological description with a gradation of the digestive fibrotic damage in view of the paucity of medical literature in this field
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind (DB), placebo controlled, phase 2 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of IgPro10. The DB Treatment Period will be followed by a 24-week Open-label (OL) Treatment Period. Eligible subjects will be randomized at Baseline in a 2:1 ratio of treatment IgPro10 or placebo in the DB Treatment Period. All subjects who enter OL Treatment Period will receive IgPro10.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, crossover study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of IgPro20 in participants with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc). The pharmacokinetic study aims to evaluate the relative bioavailability of IgPro20, and characterize pharmacokinetics of IgPro20 and IgPro10, respectively, in participants with dcSSc. Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of IgPro10 will also be evaluated.
