Filter by:The AMISS study will characterize the features of muscle disease in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS).
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of filgotinib, lanraplenib, and tirabrutinib in adults with active Sjogren's Syndrome (SjS).
Topical preparations (eye drops) derived from the blood have become a relatively common treatment for more advanced forms of keratopathy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of two blood components from donors (serum cord blood and serum from adult subject donor peripheral blood) in the treatment of severe keratopathies.
The investigators hypothesize that the dry eye caused by SS may include the evaporative type, resulting from the MGD. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that both pSS and sSS are associated with MGD.To test our hypothesis, we conducted a prospective clinical study in patients with SS (both pSS and sSS) and MGD, and the normal population All subjects were matched for both age and gender and assessed for tear function and ocular surface signs and symptoms.
The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies, develop biomarkers for use in future clinical trials, and better understand the natural history of these disorders. The knowledge gained from these efforts may help improve the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to patients in the future.
The ASSESS national multi-center prospective cohort (Assessment of Systemic complications (Signs) and Evolution in Sjögren's Syndrome "SS") was set up in 2006 thanks to a grant of the French Ministry of Health. Fifteen centers for autoimmune diseases consecutively included consecutive patients with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome "pSS" fulfilling American-European Consensus Criteria (AECG) between 2006 and 2009. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Bichat Hospital in 2006. All patients gave their informed written consent. This study was followed for 5 years with the grant of the French Ministry of Health and this study will be extended for 20 years by French Society of Rheumatology (SFR). On an annual basis for a duration of 20 years, a thorough standardized paper case report form (CRF) was filled prospectively by clinicians.
A single-center, self-control, open-label study of efficacy and safety of Iguratimod in patients with Sjögren's Syndrome
The study aims to test the safety of Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation (RMS) treatment for dry eye disease. Patients are asked to undergo a one-time treatment with Epitech Ocular Magnetic Stimulation Device on one eye in the first stage and both eyes sequentially in the second stage of the study. Changes are monitored for over a study period of 3 months.
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) can affect various organs, sometimes leads to life-threatening conditions and is always responsible for a decreased quality of life. Its evolution is chronic, with flares and relapses, and the need for reliable biomarkers to be carried out routinely is major in patients' follow-up. Because of the existence of autoreactive immunoglobulins E (IgE) in autoimmune diseases, the recently described role for anti-Ro/SSA antibodies in inducing interferon alpha (IFNα) signaling and the specific pharmacologic properties of IgE, anti-Ro/SSA IgE should be an interesting biomarker to determine pSS's activity. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether the proportion of anti-Ro/SSA IgE positive patients is higher in patients with active disease (i.e. Eular Sjögren Syndrome Disease Activity Index≥ 5). All consecutive patients with pSS (new or already known diagnosis) will be included, Anti-Ro/SSA IgE titers will be determined, the disease's features will be collected (including Eular Sjögren Syndrome Disease Activity Index/Eular Sjogren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index).
Ultrasonography in salivary gland has demonstrated its usefulness to diagnose and follow patients with Sjögren syndrome (pSS). More recently, a new imaging technique allows to study the parenchymal elasticity in salivary glands and could be a new tool to evaluate patients with sicca syndrome and pSS.
