As rare disease, vasculitis affects a small number of patients, the cohorts available in the literature are few and the pathophysiological mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The collection of standardized data within a patientheque as part of a multi-year follow-up will facilitate the study of the characteristics of these diseases. This may, in particular, address the main objective of identifying predictors of relapse, as well as secondary objectives for predictive factors of mortality, infectious, cardiovascular or neoplastic complications that affect the prognosis of vasculitis in order to establish a more appropriate management of the patients concerned.
Systemic vasculitis are inflammatory diseases of the blood vessels, responsible for systemic manifestations. Among the systemic vasculitis affecting small blood vessels, IgA vasculitis (IgAV) is one of the most common forms and mainly affects the skin, joints, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. Kidney and gastrointestinal damage can be serious, causing complications and life-threatening sequelae, especially in adults. The treatment of adult-onset IgAV is still a matter of debate. Glucocorticoids have been the standard of care for inducing remission for years in severe forms of IgAV. However, not all patients achieve remission and may experience disease flares associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In addition, the cumulative side effects of glucocorticoids are also major causes of long-term adverse events and death.Rituximab (RTX), an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, has been shown to be spectacularly effective in inducing remission in d 'other small vascular vessels, in particular ANCA-associated vasculitis and cryoglobulinemic vasculitis, with an acceptable safety profile. Recently, a multicenter observational study suggested that RTX was an effective and safe therapeutic option for treating relapsed and / or refractory adult IgAV. Overall, RTX may be an effective and safe therapeutic approach in adult IgAVs, justifying the need for a prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating Rituximab as an induction of remission for adult IgAV.
This study aimed to explore the incidence of Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA）-associated vasculitis (AAV) progression and its association with adverse consequences. It will enroll approximately 500 AAV patients in Hunan province of China and follow-up for at least 5 years. Demographic characteristics, clinical and laboratory data will be collected at baseline and every follow-up. The principal clinical outcomes of the study consist of end stage renal disease (ESRD) and death.
Hypothesis 1: A reduction in side effects is achieved with monitoring glucocorticoid treatment by using the Glucocorticoid Toxicity Index (GTI) in patients using glucocorticoids. Hypothesis 2: Monitoring treatment by using GTI in patients using glucocorticoids causes a decrease in glucocorticoid toxicity and an increase in the quality of life of patients. Hypothesis 3: With the involvement of the clinical pharmacist in the multidisciplinary team in patients using glucocorticoids, the drug-related problems of the patients are detected and prevented. The aim of this study was to evaluate the glucocorticoid treatment of patients with RA, SLE and vasculitis treated with glucocorticoids prospectively by a multidisciplinary team with GTI. In addition, it was aimed to identify and prevent drug-related problems by reviewing all drugs used in these patients by the clinical pharmacist.
A Clinical Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of CD19/BCMA Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in the Treatment of Refractory POEMS Syndrome, Amyloidosis, Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, and Vasculitis
The aim of this project is to start a biological and clinical collection of patients presenting systemic autoimmune disease. This collection will provide appropriate biological samples to identify new biomarkers and to be accessible to the medical, scientific and industrial communities for the identification of new therapeutic strategies
People living with Systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) face a new and urgent dilemma: immunosuppression increases risk for worse COVID-19 infection, yet an immune stimulation, such as vaccination, could re-activate their disease. Fear of vaccine-related disease reactivation is not of concern in other immunosuppressed groups (e.g. patients receiving chemotherapy or hemodialysis) but in SARDs, disease flare could lead to organ failure or even death. Specific research in this population is therefore critical. Moreover, among SARD patients, those on anti-CD-20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) (i.e. rituximab (anti-CD-20 mAb)), a medication used to treat inflammatory types of arthritis, have extremely low immunity post-COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. This study will test the hypothesis that a booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine is safe and enhances post-vaccine humoral and cellular responses in SARDs patients on anti-CD-20 mAb treatment. The magnitude of this response depends on the type of COVID-19 vaccine administered and is optimal when the booster dose is a vaccine from a different group than the one used for primary immunization (mix-and-match approach).
The aim of the trial is to study the efficacy and safety of treatment with BDB-001 Injection substitution of glucocorticoid in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis.
Vasculitis occur when the body's immune system, rather than protecting the body, attacks blood vessels, causing injury to the vessel and the part of the body it supplies with blood. Vasculitis is rare, and there are a number of different types, which can affect both adults and children. We treat vasculitis with steroids and drugs aiming to damp down the activity of the immune system, but they often cause side effects. Some patients do not improve with this treatment, or cannot tolerate it and their vasculitis worsens; this is known as refractory vasculitis. Patients with refractory vasculitis are at high risk of health complications from the disease and its therapy and are in need of newer more effective treatments with fewer side effects. Biologics are drugs which are designed to precisely target parts of the immune system and may have fewer side effects. Biologics have been used for several years to treat vasculitis, particularly anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis or AAV. However, for many of the rarer types of vasculitis, and especially those vasculitis disease types that are not ANCA-associated, there is little information to support use of biologic therapies as effective treatments. The purpose of this trial is to find out whether biologics are effective and represent value for money for participants with refractory vasculitis. The trial will include patients with Non-ANCA-associated vasculitis (NAAV)
