Filter by:Some patients develop "Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome," in which they experience persistent symptoms after recovering from the acute phase of COVID-19 infection. This syndrome may be more significant in patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) who have been suffering from several symptoms associated to SARDs, such as myalgia, fatigue, and general pains. The transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) technique has been frequent, for example, to relieve fatigue and general pains in general population. However, to date, there are no studies evaluating this technique in ARD patients with post-acute COVID-19; therefore, the main objective of the opened study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the application of acute tDCS in ARD patients with post-acute COVID-19.
A randomized clinical trial that treats vitiligo patients with oral vitamin D and Narrow-Band Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy (intervention group); or placebo and NB-UVB phototherapy (control group). We will evaluate if the group supplemented with vitamin D achieves a higher repigmentation rate than the control group, proving the relevance of vitamin D as an immunomodulator in the pathophysiology of vitiligo. These findings may support the use of vitamin D as an economic, safe, and adjuvant treatment for vitiligo.
Vaccination against the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was extended to patients at risk of severe forms of Covid-19, including in particular patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases treated by immunosuppressants and/or biologics. In this particular population, the effectiveness of vaccines, in particular influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations, is often reduced, especially in case of treatment with rituximab and / or methotrexate. Regarding the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, the studies that allowed the marketing authorization of the available vaccines did not include patients treated with immunosuppressants or immunomodulators. Thus, the impact of treatments on the production of neutralizing antibodies and specific T lymphocytes is not known. The goal of this study is to assess the immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases treated with immunosuppressants or immunomodulators.
The purpose of this study is to investigate white blood cells from volunteering donors to support the development of engineered regulatory T cell therapies.
The primary goal of this study is to provide additional data regarding B and T-cell mediated responses to COVID-19 vaccines in MS patients treated with OCR and to determine which clinical and paraclinical variables correlating with vaccine immunogenicity. B-cell mediated humoral responses and adaptive T-cell mediated cellular responses were measured in patients treated with OCR who received any of the available SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, 3-4 weeks after completion of vaccination.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system and the most common cause of non traumatic disability in young and middle-aged people. Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disease (nmosd) is an independent disease different from Ms. the pathogenesis and the mode of brain and spinal cord injury are different from MS, and the prognosis and optimal treatment are different. It is difficult to distinguish the two diseases in the early stage. Early diagnosis and treatment of the two diseases can greatly improve the quality of life of patients. Therefore, it is an urgent problem to clarify the difference between MS and nmosd injury patterns and to find sensitive imaging markers for early clinical intervention. With the continuous progress of computer aided diagnosis (CAD), it is more and more widely used in medicine, which is expected to help solve the above problems. The purpose of this study is to create a neuroimmune disease evaluation database based on image data. By combining brain and spinal cord imaging, and based on Zhang quantum space learning computer-aided technology, we can achieve accurate segmentation of MS and nmosd brain and spinal cord lesions, analyze the evolution characteristics of the disease at different time points, and screen the imaging indexes related to clinical scores combined with clinical and laboratory indexes Objective: to determine the different prognosis and its influencing factors at the clinical, imaging and molecular levels, and establish the model for predicting disease progression and prognosis, so as to provide the basis for early identification and assistance in guiding treatment and judging prognosis. Clinical information was collected: age, gender, course of disease, MMSE, EDSS disability score, nine hole test, 25 foot walking test. Assess the patient's information processing ability. Blood samples were collected. Imaging examination was performed. The patients were followed up regularly.
The purpose of this study to evaluate the translational application of the safe and effective treatment of Narrow-Band Ultraviolet light B-band (NB-UVB) to high-risk COVID-19 patients in an effort to improve their immune and hemostatic imbalance to increase survival and improve outcomes.
This study will investigate the effects of therapeutic and supratherapeutic oral doses of CBP-307 on the QTc interval in healthy subjects.
This study will evaluate the Moderna RNA-based COVID-19 vaccine currently approved by Health Canada in people with rheumatic diseases. This study will help understand what the side effects of the vaccine in these patients are, and what is their capacity to develop antibodies that may confer protection from the COVID-19 disease.
Patients with cancer and concurrent autoimmune diseases (AID) have been universally excluded from clinical trials evaluating immunotherapy. Data on the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors in patients with underlying AID is limited. The investigators performed a retrospective multicenter review of medical records of patients with diverse tumor types and underlying AID who received checkpoint inhibitors at Departments of Oncology, affiliated with the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (HeCOG). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).
