Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the pharmacokinetics of SHR0302 two different kind tablets in Healthy subjects after administration two kind tablets (quick release tablets and sustained-release tablets).
Objectives: Systemic autoimmune diseases are chronic diseases characterized by chronic inflammation, vasculopathy, and autoimmune phenomena. Several organ involvements are typical, including the central nervous system. Formerly published investigations emphasize a mild cognitive impairment affecting attention, memory, and complicated solution tasks. However, these symptoms significantly impact patients' routines and quality of life. The study examined the associations between cognitive impairment and clinical parameters regarding systemic autoimmune diseases. Methods: General clinical data, some serum biomarkers including CCl-18, YKL-40, COMP, VEGF, Galectin-3, and Pentraxin as well as results of functional, quality of life, and neuropsychological measures, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Digit Span Forward-Backward, the Trail making A, B and the Digit Symbol tests all were administered.
Phenotypic characterization of patients with Hu-Abs, including the different neurological presentation and the presence or not of an underlying cancer. Analysis and clinical correlation of the diagnostic techniques for Hu-Abs detection (immunofluorescence, immunodot/Western blot, and CBA) in serum and/or CSF. Genomic and transcriptomic features of tumors (histological and immune infiltrate characteristics, transcriptomic profile, mutational status).
The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of peresolimab in adult participants with moderately-to-severely active rheumatoid arthritis.
The investigators will study if group education for parents of adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) will improve the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The investigators aim to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of parent group education sessions to assess the feasibility and refine the intervention to inform a full-scale multicenter RCT. The aims of the pilot are to estimate: 1. Recruitment rate, 2. Adherence rate, 3. Response rate, and 4. Retention rate. The aims for the future full-scale multicenter RCT are to assess the effect of parent group education sessions integrated into pediatric care, compared with usual care on self-management, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), adverse outcomes and validated measures during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The investigators will conduct a parallel group, blinded (outcome assessors, data analysts), superiority pilot RCT of parents and their adolescents with T1D (14-16 years of age) followed at a university teaching hospital-based pediatric diabetes clinic in Montreal. Interventions will occur over 12-months. Follow-up will be to 18 months from enrollment.
To determine the nephroprotective potential of treatment with sparsentan in patients newly-diagnosed with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) (ie, incident patients) who have not received prior angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapy.
160 subjects with autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) will be randomized to receive once daily treatment with inhaled molgramostim or placebo for 48 weeks. Subjects completing the 48 week placebo-controlled period will receive open-label treatment with once daily inhaled molgramostim for 96 weeks.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a potentially fatal disease that represents a great global public health concern. In European countries such as Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal, England and France, the pandemic has been of utmost importance. To date, no treatment has been robustly validated, and two theoretically opposite therapeutic strategies are proposed, based either on antiretroviral therapy or on immunomodulating agents. In this complex context, people living with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) raise specific concerns due to their potentially increased risk of infections or of severe infections. Among IMID, Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis and giant cell arteritis are some key diseases. In this cross-sectional, observational, multi-centric study, the investigators aim to assess both clinical and serological prevalence of COVID-19 among samples of IMID patients in Europe. In parallel, the investigators aim to compare the prevalence of COVID-19 seroconversion across these five IMIDs, their penetration across different 6 European countries (France, Italy, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom and Portugal), and to assess the severity of COVID-19 in these patients. Moreover, changes in treatment will be assessed, including immunomodulatory tapering or discontinuation, its causes over the outbreak period, as well as the incidence of IMID flares and their severity over this same period. Finally, patient's perceptions towards the pandemic will be evaluated and compared to medication beliefs. Data will be collected through questionnaires during medical visit or phone consultation and serological tests will be performed within routine blood collection. As so, all study procedures are comprised within usual care. Through this study the investigators expect to have a better knowledge of the clinical and serological prevalence of COVID-19 in IMID across Europe, along with the psychological, clinical, and therapeutic impact of COVID-19 in this particular patient population.
Autoimmune diseases cause a decreased endometrial receptivity during the implantation window, most likely changing the endometrial cytokines pattern due to dysregulation of the inflammatory processes.Therefore, endometrial cytokine profiles will be compared in women with autoimmune disease and normal, fertile women. The collected endometrial tissue and blood samples will be examined for the cytokines profiling using commercially available ELISA kits. The sample size was calculated choosing, as primary outcome, changes in endometrial LIF concentration between the disease and control Group, which is our main goal. Given a type I error of 5%, a maximum of 21 women are needed for each Group to reach the desired power of 80% to detect the least changes in concentrations.
The main purpose of this study is to see if a drug called aldesleukin, can preserve insulin production in children and young adults recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. One group will receive aldesleukin and the other a placebo.
