The aim of this research is to understand how lipids such as cholesterol affect the disease process in people with MS.
SN1011 (the study drug), is currently being developed by Sinomab as a new drug for treating autoimmune disease (diseases occurring when your body's natural immune/defence mechanism attacks healthy tissue and nerves), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA causes recurrent joint pain and swelling, particularly in the hands and feet, and can lead to bone erosion and joint deformity. SN1011 is known as a BTK inhibitor. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an enzyme that plays a key role in B-cell development, and B-cells play an important role in immunity throughout the body. It is thought that blocking the BTK signal may inhibit disease progression in people with RA and may even resolve the disease. The purpose of this research study is to assess the safety and tolerability of SN1011 as well as the pharmacokinetics (PK - how your body handles the study drug) and pharmacodynamics (PD - how the study drug affects your body) of the study drug. The investigators are doing this study in healthy men and women.
Pilot study to evaluate the effect of real time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) on young-adults with insulin-treated diabetes, who are defined as high risk due to suboptimal HbA1c (blood glucose control) or a history of hospital admissions for high blood glucoses. Hypothesis: RT-CGM provided to young adults with suboptimal blood glucose control, has a beneficial impact on HbA1c and hospital admissions for high blood glucoses. We will use data from this pilot work to inform a larger powered study to address this knowledge gap.
Autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, myositis, or anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, may affect multiple organ systems. Occasionally, patients deteriorate acutely requiring advanced care in an intensive care unit (ICU). In an ICU setting, mortality is estimated with scoring systems, such as APACHE or SAPSII. Since there are limited data available on their use in autoimmune diseases, with the current study, we aim to assess the usefulness of these ICU scores and analyze predictors of mortality in this particular group of patients.
This project aims to rigorously evaluate a potential treatment for inflammation-related Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms in children. To accomplish this goal, the investigators will conduct a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of Naproxen Sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in participants diagnosed with Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS). This research fills a gap in the empirical evidence base for the treatment of PANDAS, and will add to a growing literature of empirically-derived practices for PANDAS.
Vagal nerve stimulation is a neurosurgical procedure consisting of implantation of an impulse generator battery with leads placed into the vagus nerve in the neck. This procedure was FDA approved for epilepsy in the 1990s and is commonly performed as an outpatient surgery. The mechanism of efficacy is not well understood; however it is increasingly recognized that electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve may impact other organ systems in the body including the immune, gastrointestinal and autonomic systems. The primary objective of this study is to characterize the pre- and post-operative bowel habits and gut microbiome of patients implanted with vagal nerve stimulator (VNS) for epilepsy. Secondary objectives of this study include: (1) to characterize the pre- and post-operative autonomic profile, (2) characterize the pre- and post-operative immune profile, and (3) to elucidate whether gut microbiota changes are related to VNS efficacy for epilepsy.
Cardiac involvements in autoimmune diseases (AD) is common but underestimated and an early detection remains a clinical challenge for lacking of efficient imaging methods. The objective of the study was to investigate LV myocardial abnormalities in AD patients by multimodal cardiac imaging, including speckle-tracking echocardiology (STE), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET).
This is a real life observational longitudinal study aiming to identify autoimmune manifestations in patients treated with "checkpoint inhibitors" in mono or combo therapy in real life. The study is based on patients reported experience validated by physician, recruited in cancer centers in France with another data collection from a French healthcare data claims database and a biological collection.
iSpecimen aims to create a clinical partner network of hospitals, laboratories, academic institutions, and other healthcare organizations ("institutions") capable of providing researchers and educators ("researchers") with annotated biospecimens for use in biomarker discovery and validation; diagnostic test and instrumentation development and validation; therapeutics development; other medical research including the impact that various specimen collection and handling methods and conditions have on research results; and in education such as researcher or physician training (collectively "research").
