Filter by:This is a China, non-interventional, observational study and will follow the Good Phar-macoepidemiology Practices guidelines. This study will enrol paediatric and adult patients diagnosed with aHUS who will be treated according to routine clinical practice defined by local institutional treatment guidelines/protocol. Those aHUS patients who will be treated with a supportive therapy, which does not contain eculizumab, will be monitored for up to 12 months since the ini-tial diagnosis. Patients initiated on eculizumab treatment anytime between aHUS diagno-sis until 12 months will be followed for additional 12 months, starting from the ecu initia-tion. Patient disposition, characteristics, outcomes and safety will be described for all pa-tients enrolled into this study
The goal of this National Registry is to is to collect information from patients with rare kidney diseases, so that it that can be used for research. The purpose of this research is to: - Develop Clinical Guidelines for specific rare kidney diseases. These are written recommendations on how to diagnose and treat a medical condition. - Audit treatments and outcomes. An audit makes checks to see if what should be done is being done and asks if it could be done better. - Further the development of future treatments. Participants will be invited to participate on clinical trials and other studies. The registry has the capacity to feedback relevant information to patients and in conjunction with Patient Knows Best (Home - Patients Know Best), allows patients to provide information themselves, including their own reported quality of life and outcome measures.
The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iptacopan upon switching from anti-C5 antibody to iptacopan treatment in study participants with aHUS.
This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label, extension study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of iptacopan in participants with aHUS.
Hemolytic and uremic syndrome (HUS) is a clinic-biological syndrome related to thrombotic microangiopathy affecting predominantly the kidney. Atypical HUS (aHUS) has been historically defined as HUS occurring in the absence of infectious event. The role of complement dysregulation in aHUS pathophysiology has been largely demonstrated, since C genetic rare variants are present in 60-70% aHUS patients. In line with the frequency of C dysregulation in aHUS, Eculizumab, an anti-C5 monoclonal antibody, has dramatically improved aHUS patients prognosis. Numerous conditions have been associated with aHUS, including hypertensive emergency (HE), a syndrome of acute blood pressure flare associated with end-organ damage. In cases of HE-aHUS, whether primary aHUS is complicated by secondary HE, or primary HE leads to secondary aHUS is still debated. The investigators recently demonstrated that C genetic variants frequency was similar in patients with HE-aHUS and patients with aHUS without HE, suggesting a major role for C dysregulation in HE-aHUS. Consequently, the investigators propose to evaluate, in HE-aHUS patients, the benefit of a strategy with early Eculizumab therapy (used within its marketing authorization and its conditions of refunding by the health insurance in usual care), compared to standard of care including tight blood pressure control. The hypothesis suggests that C dysregulation may impact renal prognosis of HE-aHUS patients. The investigator's aim to demonstrate that early Eculizumab therapy improves prognosis of HE-aHUS patients. Method The HYPERSHU study is a randomized, controlled, open-labelled study including HE-aHUS patients with severe AKI and no evidence of other conditions associated with HUS (infections, autoimmunity, drugs, pregnancy). The investigators plan to include 62 patients. Patients will be randomized in 2 arms: - Early Eculizumab therapy (for 3 months) added to standard of care (tight blood pressure control). - Standard of care alone with tight blood pressure control. Renal function after 6 months is the primary evaluation criterium. HE is a frequently associated with aHUS, and strongly impacts patient renal prognosis. Efficient therapeutic strategies are still lacking for this condition. The HYPERSHU study will allow to evaluate the benefit of early Eculizumab therapy in patients with HE-aHUS and severe renal dysfunction.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crovalimab in pediatric participants with aHUS.
The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to determine whether iptacopan (LNP023) is efficacious and safe for the treatment of aHUS in adult patients who are treatment naive to complement inhibitor therapy.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crovalimab in adult and adolescent participants with aHUS.
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a severe and life-threatening condition, often affecting the kidneys and brain. It can occur on the background of various clinical conditions. Dysregulation of the alternative pathway of complement may be the etiological factor and this type of TMA is classified, according to the current nomenclature, as primary atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Half the patients with primary atypical HUS present with rare variants in complement genes, although coexisting conditions are often needed for the TMA to become manifest. In patients with secondary atypical HUS, certain coexisting conditions appear to drive the disease and treatment should target the underlying condition to remit the TMA. Recently, the investigators demonstrated, by using a novel in-house developed functional endothelial cell-based test, that complement dysregulation and overactivation is the dominant cause of disease and its sequelae in a subset of patients with secondary atypical HUS, having impact on treatment and prognosis. The investigators did first prove this concept in patients presenting with TMA and hypertensive emergency. A prospective study is needed to further corroborate these findings along the spectrum of TMA. The investigators hypothesize that their functional endothelial cell-based test, the so-called "HMEC" test, can better categorizes the TMA into different groups with potential therapeutic and prognostic implications. Thus, paving the road to the ultimate goal of precision medicine.
A single site observational study aiming to: (i) Identify cases of previously undiagnosed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and atypical haemolytic syndrome (aHUS) in a cohort of women with complicated pregnancies (ii) Characterise the clinical features of these cases and (ii) Identify clinical features or biomarkers which may help distinguish TTP/aHUS from other complications of pregnancy such as preeclampsia
