Filter by:This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study with an equal randomization among the Hemay005 high dose, lower dose and placebo treatment groups. After subject randomization, each subject will enter an core-treatment Phase for 12 weeks following an extended-treatment phase for another 40 weeks and a follow up phase for 4weeks.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to to compare the effect of topical rebamipide to topical betamethasone on oral ulcer severity in patients with Behcet's disease.. The main question it aims to answer is : What is the effect of topical Rebamipide mouthwash compared to topical betamethasone mouthwash in management of oral ulcers in Behcet's disease? Participants will will be divided randomly into the two groups and the following outcomes will be measured: The oral ulcers severity Pain associated with oral ulcers Number of oral ulcers Healing time of oral ulcers
To determine the role of neurofilament light chain in Behçet's disease with or without neurological affection and its relation to neurological manifestation (either peripheral or central ).
There is a direct interaction between food, intestinal flora and the intestinal barrier composed of intestinal epithelial cells and mucosal immunity, whose composition and functional alterations are theorized to be closely related to the development of gastrointestinal (GI) involvement in Behcet's syndrome (BS) patients. Therefore, this study focuses on the population of patients with intestinal BS and explores the unique mechanisms leading to intestinal involvement in BS patients in terms of the characteristics of intestinal microecology. Since oral ulcers are one of the most common clinical manifestations in BS patients, in addition to intestinal flora analysis, this application project also plans to collect saliva samples from patients in the hope of obtaining a holistic understanding of mucosal flora in different parts of the entire GI tract. Serological testing and analysis will also be performed, focusing on changes in the intestinal tract and serum IgE levels, and analyzed in conjunction with microbiomics to provide evidence to further elucidate the pathogenesis of BS and GI involvement, and to search for more efficient therapeutic strategies, in terms of a variety of aspects, including clinical manifestations and disease progression.
Auditory dysfunction is commonly detected in Behçet's disease (BD). Also, vestibular abnormalities as well as cochlear function affection have been found. The inflammatory process in BD may be the cause of audiometry abnormalities in those patients. The aim of this study is to assess hearing dysfunction in Behçet patients and its relation to retinal ischemia and disease activity using conventional pure-tone audiometry (cPTA), tympanogram and acoustic reflex
Longitudinal prospective multicenter Armenian registry of systemic autoimmune, autoinflammatory diseases with constitution of bio-banking.
Introduction: Patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), psoriatic arthritis (PAs), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) , systemic sclerosis (SSc), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and primary vasculitides, have a high risk of herpes zoster (HZ) infection. This increased susceptibility is caused by a deficient cell-mediated immune response due to the underlying disease and glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive treatments that impair the T-cell response, including conventional and unconventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biological agents. In this context, the recent availability of a recombinant vaccine against HZ (RZV or Shingrix®), composed of recombinant VZV glycoprotein E (gE) and the AS01B adjuvant system (HZ/su), is a major progress regarding safety for immunosuppressed patients. Its effectiveness, however, has been clearly demonstrated for non-immunosuppressed patients and in selected populations of immunocompromised individuals. There are no prospective controlled studies evaluating the immunogenicity of RZV and its impact on the activity of the underlying disease, as well as its safety in patients with ARDs at high-risk for HZ. Hypothesis: RZV has a good safety profile, including with respect to underlying rheumatic disease activity, in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ. Objectives: Primary: To assess the short-term safety profile in relation to underlying disease activity in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV compared to unvaccinated patients. Secondary: To evaluate the general safety of the vaccine in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV and non-immunosuppressed control subjects (CG); the humoral and cellular immunogenicity of RZV in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ compared to CG; the influence of disease treatment on vaccine response; the 12-month persistence of humoral immunogenicity and incident cases of HZ. Specific studies will also be carried out to evaluate the effect of drug withdrawal (methotrexate-MTX and mycophenolate mofetil-MMF) after vaccination in increasing the immune response in patients with ARDs with controlled underlying disease.
UVB, is the first randomized prospective, head to head study, comparing Adalimumab to Tocilizumab in sight threatening uveitis of Behçet's Disease (BD). Anti-TNFα has been used for BD uveitis for 15 years. The incidence of blindness in BD has been dramatically reduced in the recent years with the use of biologics. There is no firm evidence or randomized controlled trials directly addressing the best induction therapy in severe BD uveitis. BD uveitis is considered as the most devastating inflammatory ocular disease. Risk of visual loss reaches 25% at 5 years and 80% of patients have a bilateral involvement. Contrasting with immunosuppressors or interferon-alpha, biotherapies act rapidly and are highly effective in steroid's sparing thus preventing occurrence of cataract and/or glaucoma. However, anti-TNFα failed to demonstrate sustainable complete remission over 50 % of severe sight threatening uveitis. There is little published information on use of biologics other than anti-TNFα for severe BD uveitis. Tocilizumab has been used with success in severe and/or resistant cases and is one of the most promising biologics in BD. IL-6 expression correlates with BD activity and other immunological data provide a strong rationale for targeting BD with tocilizumab. Despite a strong rationale, these compounds are not yet approved in BD, which guarantees the innovative nature of this study that aims selecting or dropping any arm when evidence of efficacy already exists. The objective of the study is to assess the benefit of tocilizumab comparatively to that of adalimumab in sight-threatening Behçet's disease uveitis at week 16
Behçet's Disease activity was evaluated using BD Current Activity Form (BDCAF). Serum calprotectin and IMA concentrations were compared among active BD cases, inactive BD cases and control subjects.
This project aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of glucocorticoids with tocilizumab or tofacitinib, compared to the traditional combination of glucocorticoids with cyclophosphamide in the treatment of vascular Behçet's syndrome.
