Filter by:Amyloidosis is involved in many rare diseases in relation to the diversity of amyloid proteins involved in the formation of abnormal tissue deposits. There are approximately 30 proteins involved in amylose's constitution. The therapeutic management varies depending on the type of amyloidosis observed. The application of conventional techniques immunolabeling of amylose does not allow the comprehensive characterization of amylose forms, due to failures of the technic, the false positivity of some results, or lack of frozen tissue available for typing light chain (lambda, kappa). In this study, the main objective is the comparison of two capacity of amylose characterisation: immunohistochemistry and proteomics analysis. The purpose of this study is to validate the superiority of proteomic analysis by demonstrating the improvement of the precision, the reduction of technical failure, as well as the correction of erroneous diagnosis, authorizing a more adapted therapeutic management.
The objective of this extension protocol is to collect safety data (serious and non-serious adverse events) and to provide continuous canakinumab to patients in France who completed study CACZ885G2301E1(NCT00891046), CACZ885G2306 (NCT02296424) or CACZ885N2301 (NCT02059291) until a decision regarding reimbursement in France is effective for canakinumab (Ilaris®) in these indications.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of revusiran (ALN-TTRSC) in patients with transthyretin (TTR) mediated Familial Amyloidotic Cardiomyopathy. Dosing has been discontinued; patients are being followed-up for safety.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of long-term dosing with revusiran (ALN-TTRSC). Dosing has been discontinued; patients are being followed-up for safety.
Light-chain (AL-) amyloidosis is a very rare monoclonal plasma cell disorder with poor prognosis. Rarity of disease has precluded performance of randomized controlled trials comparing various possible treatment modalities. In general, treatment of AL amyloidosis has been adapted from myeloma (MM) therapy. There is large experience with allo SCT in MM. Based on small series of patients and case reports allogeneic transplant has emerged as potentially effective. However, more formal proof of concept of using allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation for treatment of AL Amyloidosis is lacking. Therefore, given the limitations of conventionally collected registry data (dubious follow-up information and extreme heterogeneity), we developed the: "EBMT non-interventional prospective study on allogeneic transplantation in AL Amyloidosis" which means that transplant centers that already do perform allogeneic transplants for AL Amyloidosis will be encouraged to register their patients with AL Amyloidosis very timely with the EBMT, followed by mandatory submission of EBMT MedB and follow-up forms. The diagnosis of AL Amyloidosis would be based on uniform criteria. All EBMT centres performing allogeneic transplants for Amyloidosis will be invited to participate in this study and centres will be asked to report all AL Amyloidosis cases referred for transplantation using a simple registration form and then to submit Amyloidosis MED B forms for each transplanted patient and follow-up forms as necessary. In conclusion, it should be possible to largely improve the usual quality of registry-based data and to generate scientifically sound knowledge on HSCT in an orphan disease such as AL Amyloidosis.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the frequency of TTR mutations in subjects suspected of having cardiac amyloidosis
The purpose of this study is to examine the tolerance, safety, pharmakinetics, and possible clinical benefit of the good manufacturing practice (GMP)-grade amyloid fibril-reactive chimeric (Ch) IgG1 mAb 11-1F4 in patients with amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. The phase 1a part will involve at least 3 patients and a maximum of 18 patients. The first patient will receive the starting dose of the antibody and, if tolerated, the following patients will each receive (if tolerated) progressively higher doses of the antibody. Patients in part 1a of the trial will receive only one infusion of the drug. Patients treated in the phase 1a part receive lower dosage which might not be effective. Once the maximal tolerated dosage is established during the phase 1a part, the investigators will accrue patients to the phase 1b part of the trial. Patients will receive 4 infusions, once each week for 4 weeks. Patients who were treated in the part 1a of the trial and showed no toxicity can be also treated in the part 1b of the trial. The first patient will receive the starting dose of the antibody and, if tolerated, the following patients will each receive (if tolerated) progressively higher doses of the antibody. When the investigators reach the maximum tolerated dose without toxicity, the investigators e will enroll another 4 patients to receive the same dose. If there are no toxicities, another 4 patients will be treated at the next dose level, and so forth. Patients treated in Phase 1b may receive lower dosages which might not be effective. The goal of Phase 1b is to establish the tolerance and possible beneficial effects of 11-1F4. If successful, treatment with this antibody would represent a novel approach in the care of individuals with AL amyloidosis.
In this study the investigators want to find out more about the addition of the antibiotic, doxycycline, to standard anti-amyloid therapy in people with amyloidosis. The investigators want to find out whether doxycycline improves the response to standard anti-amyloid therapy and whether it causes any problems (side effects).
