Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are clinical entities characterized by recurrent inflammatory attacks in absence of infection, neoplasm or deregulation of the adaptive immune system. Among them, hereditary periodic syndromes, also known as monogenic AID, represent the prototype of this disease group, caused by mutations in genes involved in the regulation of innate immunity, inflammation and cell death. Based on recent experimental acquisitions in the field of monogenic AID, several immunologic disorders have been reclassified as polygenic/multifactorial AID, sharing pathogenetic and clinical features with hereditary periodic fevers. This has paved the way to new treatment targets for patients suffering from rare diseases of unknown origin, including Behçet's disease, Still disease, Schnitzler's disease, PFAPA (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis) syndrome, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), non-infectious uveitis and scleritis. Gathering information on such rare conditions is made difficult by the small number of patients, along with the difficulty of obtaining an accurate diagnosis in non-specialized clinical settings. In this context, the AIDA project promotes international collaboration among clinical centres to develop a permanent registry aimed at collecting demographic, genetic, clinical and therapeutic data of patients affected by monogenic and polygenic AID, in order to expand the current knowledge of these rare conditions.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of zanubrutinib in the treatment of antiphospholipid syndrome with secondary thrombocytopenia in 10 patients.
Numerous neurological disorders affecting the central and peripheral nervous system can be attributed to the immune system through multiple effector mechanisms. However, current treatments could be drastically improved by faster and more accurate diagnosis. The sample collection will benefit to patients with rare neuroimmune syndromes such as Autoimmune Encephalitis (AE) and Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes (PNS) leading to a better and early diagnosis, as well as treatment improvement.
This study will investigate the feasibility of using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and a sensorimotor training task to treat symptoms of pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). rTMS is a non-invasive technique that involves delivering magnetic pulses in rapid succession over the area of the brain that controls movement. The sensorimotor training task involves non-invasive nerve stimulation used to cue a participant to complete motor actions. The purpose of this study is to determine whether recruitment is feasible in this patient population and patients maintain adherence to the intervention. In addition, the investigators want to determine whether rTMS combined with sensorimotor training is an effective intervention to alleviate symptoms of pain in patients with CRPS.
Down Syndrome (DS) is characterized by an additional copy of chromosome 21, which also increases risk of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The investigators' lab found a non-invasive way to remove toxic proteins from the brain in AD mouse models. Remarkably, treated mice also have improved memory on behavioral testing. The investigators then translated this non-invasive method, which uses light and sound to stimulate the brain, to be used in mild Alzheimer's patients and cognitively normal adults. The investigators have also translated this research into a vibrating speaker device to study tactile vibration to stimulate the brain as well. For the present study, 30 participants with Down Syndrome and 30 cognitively normal adult controls will be recruited, and the investigators will assess their brain waves with electroencephalogram (EEG) during light, sound, and tactile stimulation. The investigators will also test for safety, feasibility, and cognitive performance before and after a 30-60 minute session of light and sound stimulation to optimize the stimulation devices for use in the DS population.
Research question: A wealth of existing research has established the independent effectiveness of mirabegron and neuromodulation in the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome. Optimizing the use of these effective and well-tolerated treatment modalities is an important clinical goal and warrants further research. The primary aim of this trial is to answer the questions: how does varying the treatment sequence involving mirabegron and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) affect efficacy and patient acceptance and what is the second-line efficacy of either treatment modality? Primary objective: To evaluate improvement in storage symptoms, as measured by changes in Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and parameters of voiding diary, in overactive bladder (OAB) patients receiving mirabegron or TTNS as first-line therapy when crossed over to second-line therapy with the opposite treatment modality Secondary objectives: To evaluate improvement in symptoms, as measured by changes in OABSS, IPSS and parameters of voiding diary, on first-line therapy with mirabegron or TTNS followed by combination multi-modal therapy To evaluate the effect of multi-modal treatment approach on patient's perception of treatment satisfaction and symptom control To evaluate urodynamic profiles of patients treated with multi-modal approach
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare severe complication to SARS-CoV-2 infection in children. It has been reported to occur in approximately one of 3,000 to 4,000 unvaccinated children during the COVID-19 waves dominated by variant Alpha of SARS-CoV-2. However, the incidences following SARS-CoV-2 infection with variant delta and omicron, as well as among vaccinated children and adolescents with SARS-CoV-2 is yet unexplored. The investigators aim to estimate the incidence of MIS-C and in vaccinated and unvaccinated children and adolescents following variants delta and omicron, and other complications of SARS-CoV-2 including complication due to SARS-CoV-2 lock-down, based on a nationwide prospective population-based cohort study.
This study proposes to conduct the switch from ticagrelor to prasugrel in an organized stepwise manner, to allow for the evaluation of the relative efficacy of prasugrel versus ticagrelor using a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial design.
A phase IIIb, open-label, single arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of luspatercept in patients with lower-risk MDS and ring-sideroblastic phenotype (MDS-RS)
