Filter by:In this multicenter study, we will recruit 400 patients 40 years of age or older at 15 centers with a diagnosis of smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), a group of patients for whom standard of care is observation not treatment. The main goal of this study is to screen for the diagnosis of light-chain amyloidosis (AL) before the onset of symptomatic disease and to develop a training set for a likelihood algorithm.
This is a single-center observational study evaluating the potential value of NfL as a biomarker for diagnosis, detection of disease onset, monitoring of disease progression, and treatment response in asymptomatic carriers of TTR variants and symptomatic hATTR amyloidosis patients with polyneuropathy.
Patients with autoinflammatory diseases (AID) have recurrent episodes of systemic inflammation accompanied by nonspecific elevation of blood inflammation markers typically absent between attacks. A complication of autoinflammatory diseases is AA amyloidosis, which can lead to renal failure and dialysis. Advances in genetic analysis have led to the identification of new autoinflammatory diseases and thus new pathophysiological pathways. However, genetic analyses are sometimes confronted with results that are difficult to interpret. These are the Variants of Unknown Significance, for which genetic analysis alone does not allow to determine if the genetic mutation is responsible for the symptoms. genetic analysis sometimes has limitations in the diagnosis of AID which can only be overcome by pathophysiological studies of the variants found.
The investigators of this registry aim to study the natural history, clinical presentation, characteristics, and imaging findings of patients diagnosed with ATTR amyloidosis in Thailand longitudinally. This will enable the investigators to study this disease in depth. With a better understanding, the investigators can aim to develop early screening programs for at-risk patients, raising awareness among non-cardiologists. As amyloid-specific therapies have now become available in Thailand, the findings of this registry can be helpful for epidemiological studies in Thailand.
This study is researching an experimental drug called linvoseltamab ("study drug"). This study is focused on patients who have AL amyloidosis that has returned or have failed other therapies and need to be treated again. The study consists of 2 phases (Phase 1 and Phase 2): - In Phase 1, linvoseltamab will be given to a small number of participants to study the side effects of the study drug and to determine the recommended doses of the study drug to be given to participants in Phase 2. - In Phase 2, linvoseltamab will be given to more participants to continue to assess the side effects of the study drug and to evaluate the ability of linvoseltamab to treat AL amyloidosis. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - How many participants treated with linvoseltamab have improvement in the abnormal proteins that cause organ problems and for how long - How many participants treated with linvoseltamab have improvement in the heart or kidney and for how long - What the right dosing regimen is for linvoseltamab - What side effects may happen from taking linvoseltamab - How much linvoseltamab is in your blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against linvoseltamab (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
Detection and classification of different renal and urinary affection in patients with IBD that attended to Assist University Hospitals
Demonstrate the beneficial impact of three targeted Shiatsu sessions versus "comfort" Shiatsu on symptoms in cardiac amyloidosis patients with severe symptoms. To demonstrate the beneficial short-term impact of a targeted SHIATSU session on neuro-cardio-vascular physiological parameters and symptoms in patients with cardiac amyloidosis compared with comfort Shiatsu and no Shiatsu. To demonstrate the beneficial impact of three targeted Shiatsu sessions versus "comfort" Shiatsu and no Shiatsu on symptoms (fatigue, sleep, pain, anxiety, depression dyspnea, digestive disorders, nausea) and quality of life in cardiac amyloidosis patients with severe symptoms. Evaluate patient satisfaction with shiatsu. Assess tolerance to shiatsu.
The study aims to test and compare the diagnostic yield of different diagnostic modalities (speckle tracking echocardiography, CMR, serum and urine protein analysis and bone tracer scintigraphy) in the detection of cardiac amyloidosis among patients with "red flags" suspecting cardiac amyloidosis.
The goal of this observational study is to keep track of the cardiological follow-up of patients who have undergone back surgery because of symptomatic narrowing of the spinal canal and in whom microscopic examination of the tissue removed during this surgery showed a high amount of local deposits of small proteins. This finding may be an early sign of a condition in which other organs (especially the heart) may also be affected by these proteins, called amyloidosis. Patients who participate in this study, will be followed up for life. During the first routine consultation with the cardiologist, the physician-investigator will collect information, such as demographics (age, weight, height, gender), medical history, medication, symptoms and the results of prescribed examinations. These examinations include microscopic examination of tissue removed during the surgery, blood tests, electrocardiography, echocardiography and a bone scan. These examinations are clinically necessary and appropriate, and patients should undergo them even without participating in the study.
Open-label Phase 1b Dose Escalation/Dose Expansion study exploring the safety and efficacy of NXC-201 in patients with relapsed or refractory light chain amyloidosis (AL).
