Filter by:A cross-sectional study design and online questionnaire was used to assess the informational needs of patients with several different types of systemic vasculitis. Patients were recruited from within the Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC) online Patient Contact Registry1. Survey responses from participants in the VCRC Patient Contact Registry were compared to responses from a similar survey recently administered to patients within a United Kingdom (UK) based vasculitis support group (Vasculitis UK).
The purpose of this study is to learn about how patients with vasculitis think about their illness and to assess to what extent patient perceptions of illness are associated with physical, mental, and social functioning
The purpose of this study is to learn about reproductive health, including fertility and pregnancies, in people with vasculitis.
TRANSREG will assess the safety and biological efficacy of low-dose IL2 as a Treg inducer in a set of 14 autoimmune and auto-inflammatory diseases, with the aim to select diseases in which further therapeutic development will be performed. Extensive biological- and immune-monitoring pre- and post-IL2 will contribute (i) to define the common or distinct processes responsible for the breakdown of immunological tolerance in these pathologies and (ii) to discover potential biomarkers of the IL2 response.
This investigation was conducted to obtain the following information regarding the use of Adalimumab (Humira®) 40mg Syringe 0.8mL for Subcutaneous Injection in patients with Intestinal Behcet's Disease. 1. Incidence and conditions of occurrence of adverse reactions in clinical practice 2. Factors likely to affect the safety and effectiveness
Background: Genetics is suggested to play a critical role in the development of Behçet's disease (BD). Shared phenotypic features requires an approach to the differential diagnosis from periodic febrile syndromes particularly from mevalonate kinase deficiency related diseases. We planned to study for evaluating the frequency of mutations and their clinical significance in mevalonate kinase gene in Turkish patients with Behçet's disease.
Objectives: Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis. Since vascular endothelial dysfunction plays a prominent role in the pathogenesis of the disease, we considered angiogenic cytokines as an interesting target for investigation in BD. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of angiogenin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in the pathogenesis of BD. Design and Methods: Sixty five patients with BD and 21 healthy control subjects were included in the study. Serum angiogenin, bFGF and VEGF concentrations were determined by using in vitro enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) kits according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is a matrix protein of eosinophils and has been reported to reflect eosinophil activity. Few studies have examined the role of eosinophils in the pathogenesis of Behçet's disease. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the serum ECP levels in BD and its relation to clinical activity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of TA-650 in patients with Behcet's disease ( BD ) with special lesions after the administration of TA-650 at a dosage of 5 mg/kg in weeks 0, 2, and 6, then every 8 weeks after week 14 up to week 46.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if interferon-alpha2a is superior to the standard treatment with cyclosporin A for the treatment of severe ocular manifestations of Behcet`s disease.
