This phase II trial studies the effect of acalabrutinib in treating autoimmune hemolytic anemia that has come back (relapsed) or has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Patients of relapsed and refractory warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia or EVANS syndrome aged 18 to 80 will be included in this study. The treatment regimen is a single dose anti-CD20 antibody (500mg) combined with bortezomib (1.3mg/m2 twice a week for two weeks). The treatment course would be repeated three months later.
In France, a national prospective cohort for monitoring children and adolescents with autoimmune cytopenia OBS'CEREVANCE is in place since 2004. It is coordinated in Bordeaux by the Center's team. Reference Rare Diseases CEREVANCE. It has been validated by the French Data Protection Authority in 2009 (information note and written consent). It had mid 2013 more of 900 patients, and the data collected make it possible to study intentionally to treat the therapeutic management of patients with Chronic Immune-Thrombocytopenic Purpura, from Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, or from EVANS syndrome. This study evaluates efficacy and tolerance at 6 months of treatment immunomodulators prescribed in France in real conditions of use, in children and adolescents under the age of 18, for a Chronic Immune-Thrombocytopenic Purpura, an Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia or a simultaneous EVANS syndrome.
This is a Phase 2 randomized, dose-blind, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of treatment with KZR-616 in patients with active Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia or Immune Thrombocytopenia.
In autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) auto-antibodies directed against red blood cells (RBCs) lead to increased RBC clearance (hemolysis). This can result in a potentially life-threatening anemia. AIHA is a rare disease with an incidence of 1-3 per 100,000 individuals. An unsolved difficulty in diagnosis of AIHA is the laboratory test accuracy. The current 'golden standard' for AIHA is the direct antiglobulin test (DAT). The DAT detects autoantibody- and/or complement-opsonized RBCs. The DAT has insufficient test characteristics since it remains falsely negative in approximate 5-10% of patients with AIHA, whereas a falsely positive DAT can be found in 8% of hospitalized individuals. Also apparently healthy blood donors can have a positive DAT. The consequences of DAT positivity are not well known and may point to early, asymptomatic disease, or to another disease associated with formation of RBC autoantibodies, such as a malignancy or (systemic) autoimmune disease. Currently, there are no guidelines to follow-up DAT positive donors. A second unsolved difficulty is the choice of treatment in AIHA. Hemolysis can be stopped or at least attenuated with corticosteroids, aiming to inhibit autoantibody production and/or RBC destruction. Many patients do not respond adequately to corticosteroid treatment or develop severe side effects. Currently, it is advised to avoid RBC transfusions since these may lead to aggravation of hemolysis and RBC alloantibody formation. But in case symptomatic anemia occurs, RBC transfusions need to be given. An evidence-based transfusion strategy for AIHA patients is needed to warrant safe transfusion in this complex patient group. To design optimal diagnostic testing and (supportive) treatment algorithms, the investigators will study a group well-characterized patients with AIHA and blood donors without AIHA, via a prospective centralized clinical data collection and evaluation of new laboratory tests. With this data the knowledge of the AIHA pathophysiology and to evaluate diagnostic testing in correlation with clinical features and treatment outcome can be improved.
The Internal Medicine Department of Haut-Lévêque Hospital (Pr E LAZARO, Pr JL PELLEGRIN, Pr JF VIALLARD) was accredited in 2017 by the Ministry of Health as a Constitutive Reference Center for Autoimmune Cytopenia. The investigators wish to launch new research projects in autoimmune cytopenia and propose a translational and fundamental research based on collaboration between the clinical department, the biological resource center and the CNRS and INSERM research units ("Bedside to the Bench Strategy"). Thus, in the perspective of future research work, it seems imperative to set up a biological bank for the patients followed in our Reference Center.
Autoimmune cytopenia, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), Evans syndrome (ES), usually has good responses to steroids therapies as first line, but there is a considerable percentage of patients who relapse, become refractory or dependent on steroids to maintain an acceptable level of hemoglobin or platelets. The effects of the second line therapy are also not satisfactory and sometimes not available. The investigators aim to explore the efficacy and side-effect of tacrolimus for refractory autoimmune cytopenia.
Prospective registry study for children and young adults with severe immune cytopenias (persisting/chronic immune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and Evans syndrome) to improve the management, facilitate the differential diagnostic work-up, and document the clinical course under various treatments. Time points: at inclusion, after 6 months, after 12 months, then yearly up to 4 years after inclusion. No intervention, mere observation and documentation. Guided pre-inclusion (differential) diagnostic work-up.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of parsaclisib administered orally to participants with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) who have decreased hemoglobin and evidence of ongoing hemolysis that requires treatment intervention.
