Filter by:The purpose of this study is to measure the long-term safety and tolerability of ianalumab in participants with Sjogrens syndrome who have previously completed treatment from one of two NEPTUNUS 1 year core studies (CVAY736A2301 or CVAY736A2302). - The study treatment is ianalumab 300 mg in a 2 mL pre-filled syringe for injection. All participants will receive ianalumab either monthly or every 3 months. - The treatment duration will be 3 years with an additional up to 2-year safety follow-up. The total duration of this extension study will be up to 5 years. - The visit frequency will be monthly during both the treatment period and mandatory follow-up, and then less frequently during the subsequent conditional follow-up Treatment of interest: The randomized treatment (ianalumab) will be received monthly or every 3 months. Participants assigned to treatment every 3 months will receive placebo every month between the ianalumab doses to maintain blinding. Number of Participants: Approximately 600 participants from the NEPTUNUS core studies will be rolled over into the extension study. Treatment Groups:There will be no screening period in this trial. From Week 48 of the NEPTUNUS core study, participants will be given the opportunity to consent to this extension study. From Week 52 of the NEPTUNUS core studies (i.e., Day 1 in the extension study), eligible participants will be assigned to either one of the treatment regimens: - ianalumab 300 mg monthly or - ianalumab 300 mg once every 3 months Participants receiving placebo in either of the NEPTUNUS core studies will be randomized 1:1 to receive ianalumab 300 mg monthly or every 3 months starting from Week 60 and participants receiving ianalumab in either of the NEPTUNUS core studies will continue the same treatment in the extension study. Ianalumab will be given as a subcutaneous injection from a 2 mL pre-filled syringe. Participants will be given the opportunity to self-inject at home on some visits after receiving training.
Autoimmune diseases are the consequence of an abnormality of the immune system, leading it to attack components of our own body. They have a wide variety of presentations. They preferentially affect women, and often at a young age. Systemic lupus erythematosus, for example, most often occurs between the ages of 15 and 40. Inflammatory rheumatism, such as spondyloarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, is less prevalent in women, but also affects young people, and is particularly common. Several disease-modifying treatments exist, depending on the severity and evolutivitý of the disease. Some are contraindicated or not recommended during pregnancy and therefore require supervision of pregnancy plans. In addition, some treatments have an immunosuppressive activitý, which implies an annual screening of cervical lesions by cervico-uterine smear. In this context, an adapted gynecological follow-up seems indispensable. The rheumatologist and the internist physician have a crucial role in advising and referring patients to their gynecological colleagues. Studying the qualitý of this gynecological follow-up in a cohort of patients with autoimmune disease or inflammatory rheumatism is of major interest.
Serological positivity for anti Ro-SSA antibodies is frequently found in pathologies such as Sjogren's Syndrome and SLE. Worldwide, approximately 0.5-1% of women of reproductive age are positive for Ro-SSA antibodies, and in 1-2% of these women, pregnancy will be complicated by cardiac abnormalities of the fetus, particularly varying degrees of atrioventricular block. It is essential to promptly identify patients with fetal heart rhythm abnormalities to prevent both intrauterine deaths and the birth of newborns with third-degree atrioventricular block, requiring lifelong cardiac pacing. At the moment, the only means to identify these alterations is represented by fetal cardiac ultrasound. Fetal atrioventricular block can develop within a few hours in these patients and fetal ultrasound, normally performed no more frequently than once every two weeks, does not allow for the timely identification of these conditions and therefore for pharmacological intervention. Using home fetal heart rate monitoring, carried out directly by patients three times a day with the aid of a special device that allows easy identification of the fetal heart rhythm, would allow rapid recognition of rhythm alterations and early access to confirmation tests and possible therapies. Fetal heart rhythm surveillance could detect a medically reversible disease that, if untreated, would progress to lifelong cardiac pacing, with its many associated comorbidities. Applying such protocol in pregnant women anti-Ro/SSA positive could become standard practice. The main objectives of this study are: - Estimation of the incidence of the development of fetal AV conduction abnormalities in patients with positivity for Ro/SSA autoantibodies; - Estimation of the reliability of home monitoring of fetal heart rate with fetal Doppler device in detecting fetal atrioventricular conduction disturbances; - Evaluation of the results of the therapy administered early, immediately after the diagnosis of fetal atrioventricular conduction disorders.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of Deucravacitinib in adult participants with Active Sjögren's Syndrome.
Inflammatory rheumatic diseases affect 1% of the population. Treatment of such diseases should be based on disease activity, safety issues and other patient characteristics such as comorbidities (EULAR, 2022), leading to a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. To this end, the general treat-to-target approach, as recommended in the EULAR guidance, may require several successive treatment lines based on updates to the patients' profile and close monitoring as the keystone of its implementation. Regular feedback from patients could be used to fuel such strategies. This feedback can be collected using an ePRO (electronic Patient Reported Outcome). The purpose of this study is therefore to assess patient management using the information provided by patients through e-PROs, which will transfer the data provided by the patient to the physician and will notify the investigators via email when a patient has completed a form (no data interpretation or alerts). The hypothesis is that the more physicians are provided with insights into their patients' health, the more they will function in a treat-to-target approach and the more often they will tend to adjust their patients' treatments.

Introduction: Patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), psoriatic arthritis (PAs), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) , systemic sclerosis (SSc), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and primary vasculitides, have a high risk of herpes zoster (HZ) infection. This increased susceptibility is caused by a deficient cell-mediated immune response due to the underlying disease and glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive treatments that impair the T-cell response, including conventional and unconventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biological agents. In this context, the recent availability of a recombinant vaccine against HZ (RZV or Shingrix®), composed of recombinant VZV glycoprotein E (gE) and the AS01B adjuvant system (HZ/su), is a major progress regarding safety for immunosuppressed patients. Its effectiveness, however, has been clearly demonstrated for non-immunosuppressed patients and in selected populations of immunocompromised individuals. There are no prospective controlled studies evaluating the immunogenicity of RZV and its impact on the activity of the underlying disease, as well as its safety in patients with ARDs at high-risk for HZ. Hypothesis: RZV has a good safety profile, including with respect to underlying rheumatic disease activity, in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ. Objectives: Primary: To assess the short-term safety profile in relation to underlying disease activity in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV compared to unvaccinated patients. Secondary: To evaluate the general safety of the vaccine in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV and non-immunosuppressed control subjects (CG); the humoral and cellular immunogenicity of RZV in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ compared to CG; the influence of disease treatment on vaccine response; the 12-month persistence of humoral immunogenicity and incident cases of HZ. Specific studies will also be carried out to evaluate the effect of drug withdrawal (methotrexate-MTX and mycophenolate mofetil-MMF) after vaccination in increasing the immune response in patients with ARDs with controlled underlying disease.
