Filter by: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.
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.
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is characterized by shortened red blood cell survival and a positive Coombs test. The responsible autoantibodies may be either warm reactive or cold reactive. The rate of hemolysis and the severity of the anemia may vary from mild to severe and life-threatening. Diagnosis is made in the laboratory by the findings of anemia, reticulocytosis, a positive Coombs test, and specific serologic tests. The prognosis is generally good but renal failure and death sometimes occur, especially in cases mediated by drugs.
Prospective, non-randomized multicenter study on the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with bendamustine and rituximab for chronic cold agglutinin disease.
The investigators have demonstrated that the mean percentage of circulating CD8+ regulatory T (CD8 Tregs) cells is significantly higher in patients with warm hemolytic anemia (wAHAI) in remission than in controls and is correlated to hemoglobin levels. In vitro, low dose of interleukine-2 (IL2) induce the expansion of CD8 Tregs. The objective is to demonstrate that, over a 9 week treatment period; low doses of IL2 can induce the expansion of CD8Tregs in patients with active wAHAI.
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is an auto-immune disease mediated by specific antibodies targeting red blood cells. Its pathogenesis is not completely understood, and the role of T cells have been rarely studied. The aim of this study is to compare the frequency of circulating T cells, T cell polarization and functions, notably regulatory T cells, during warm AIHA by comparison to healthy controls. The role of treatments, such as steroids, will also be determined in patients with warm AIHA.
Platelets are particles found along with red and white blood cells in the blood that play a role in the process of blood clotting. Disorders affecting the platelets can lower the amount of platelets in the blood and put patients at risk of bleeding. The condition of low platelets is referred to as thrombocytopenia. Thrombocytopenia can be associated with a variety of diseases including cancer, leukemia, tuberculosis, or as a result of an autoimmune reaction. Autoimmune reactions are disorders in which the normal immune system begins attacking itself. Autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AITP) is a disorder of low blood platelet counts in which platelets are destroyed by antibodies produced by the immune system. Unfortunately, many patients with AITP do not respond to standard treatments for thrombocytopenia. Cyclophosphamide is a drug that works to suppress the activity of the immune system. Researchers believe that combining this drug with transplanted rescued blood stem cells may provide effective treatment for AITP. The purpose of this study is to explore the affordability and safety of this therapy for the treatment of AITP. The effectiveness of the therapy will be measured by the number of patients whose platelet levels rise greater than 100,000/m3. If this treatment approach appears affordable, this study will form the basis for a larger study to compare alternate treatment approaches.
