Filter by:This is an investigator-initiated trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-CD19-CD3E-CAR-T cells in the relapse or refractory autoimmune diseases.
This study is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalation exploratory clinical trial, expected to enroll 6 to 12 participants. It will use a BOIN (Bayesian Optimal Interval) design for dose escalation, with four predetermined dose groups (0.3×10^6 cells/kg, 1.0×10^6 cells/kg, 3.0×10^6 cells/kg, and an alternative dose of 0.1×10^6 cells/kg). Each dose group plans to enroll 1-2 or 3-6 participants with relapsed or refractory autoimmune-mediated kidney diseases (such as lupus nephritis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, membranous nephropathy, and IgG4-related diseases).
Lupus nephritis (LN) and ANCA-associated vasculitis are severe autoimmune diseases, which may lead to the death of patients, particularly when they are refractory to the conventional therapeutic agents. Based on the current knowledge, the autoantibodies against self-antigens may exert important pathological roles in the pathogenesis of both LN and ANCA-associated vasculitis, of which the origins are primarily plasmablasts and plasma cells. BCMA is the molecule expressed on memory B cells, plasmablasts and plasma cells, and therefore is an ideal target for the elimination of potential pathogenic antibody secreting cells. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells against BCMA may provide a novel therapeutic way for the refractory LN and ANCA-associated vasculitis patients to eliminate the pathogenic autoantibody-secreting cells. In this study, the safety and efficacy of a novel CAR-T cell therapy using PRG-1801 cells, are evaluated in patients with refractory LN and ANCA-associated vasculitis.
This study is a prospective, open-labelled, randomized, controlled, single-center clinical trial. The aim of this study is to compare the remission rate of patients treated with Telitacicept combined with azathioprine and azathioprine alone in remission-maintenance treatment of AAV.
This study is a prospective, open-labelled, randomized, controlled, single-center clinical trial. The aim of this study is to investigate the remission rate of patients treated with Telitacicept combined with Rituximab in remission-induction and Telitacicept alone in remission-maintain treatment.
The Avacostar PASS is a non-interventional, multi-national, prospective cohort study that will collect data from 2 cohorts of patients: those treated with avacopan for active severe AAV, and a second cohort treated with a cyclophosphamide or rituximab-based induction regimen without avacopan for active severe AAV. The overall study duration is anticipated to be up to 7 years, including a recruitment period of approximately 3 years.
ANCA-associated vasculitis is an autoimmune disease that causes damage to blood vessels. This leads to organ damage with the number of organs affected and the severity of damage varying significantly between patients. Vasculitis patients also have a very high risk of heart attacks and strokes, called cardiovascular disease. A chemical called 'endothelin', produced by the blood vessels, causes vessels to stiffen and raises blood pressure and this associates with cardiovascular risk. The investigators have previously shown that by blocking the effects of endothelin you reduce vessel stiffness, lower blood pressure and improve vessel function. However, these studies only blocked endothelin for a few hours. Now, the investigators would like to see if it is possible to maintain these benefits by blocking endothelin for longer. Sparsentan is a tablet that blocks endothelin and lowers blood pressure. The investigators plan to give sparsentan to patients with vasculitis for 6 weeks. To determine if any beneficial effects of sparsentan are due to blood pressure lowering the investigators will give another group of vasculitis patients a tablet called irbesartan which lowers blood pressure but does not block endothelin. The investigators will compare the results between the two groups.
The incidence in pediatrics is very low (about 0.5 per million according to a French study) and therefore the data on the pathology very poor, especially on the therapeutic level. Without appropriate treatment, the mortality rate of the pathology is very high. Existing treatments are almost exclusively composed of immunomodulatory and/or immunosuppressive treatments. Complications related to pathology and iatrogeny are among the first causes of mortality from this pathology and deserve to be studied in order to be known and if possible avoided. The purpose of the study is to achieve a national comparison of clinical and therapeutic practices.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab for the treatment of proteinase 3 Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA)-Associated Vasculitis (PR3-AAV).
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.
