Filter by:This is a clinical study to see if dusquetide can treat flares of oral and genital ulcers caused by Behcet's Disease. Study participants will receive an infusion of dusquetide twice a week for 4 weeks (8 treatments total), with weekly follow-up visits for an additional 4 weeks.
This Phase 1b basket trial will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of RAY121, a inhibitor of classical complement pathway, after multiple dose administration in patients with immunological diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), bullous pemphigoid (BP), Behçet's Syndrome (BS), dermatomyositis (DM), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
Relation between Nail Fold Capillaroscopy, Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography, and Femoral Vein Wall Thickness in Behçet's Disease
Research into novel therapies for rare, immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) is limited due to small patient populations. Patients with Behçet's disease (BD), idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM, also known as myositis) and IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) are treated with high-dosed glucocorticoids, methotrexate, azathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil, mostly for long periods of time with attendant risks of long-term toxicity, including infections. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new, more specific anti-inflammatory therapies such as targeted synthetic and biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Due to the role of type 1 interferon in both BD, IIM and IgG4-RD, JAK-STAT inhibition may be a promising treatment strategy in these conditions, because JAK1 is critical for the signal transduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine receptors. Previous research showed that JAK1 inhibition reduces activation of type 1 interferon-regulated proteins and key chemokines that control tissue inflammation.

To evaluate the vascular complications in BD and determine their relationship with disease activity. To assess the correlation between serum elafin and vascular affection and their relation with disease activity.
Behçet's syndrome is a multisystem variable vessel vasculitis. Clinical features include mucocutaneous manifestions such as oral ulcers, genital ulcers, papulopustular lesions and nodular lesions, musculoskeletal manifestations, uveitis, venous thrombosis, arterial aneurysms and thrombosis, central nervous system involvement and gastrointestinal involvement. Management of Behçet's syndrome depends on the type of organ involvement, disease severity, and prognostic factors. The main objective in patients with major organ involvement is to rapidly suppress the inflammation and prevent relapses in order to prevent organ damage. On the other hand, mucocutaneous and musculoskeletal manifestations do not cause damage and in patients with only mucocutaneous and joint involvement, the aim is to improve the quality of life. Colchicine is usually the first-line systemic treatment in patients with only mucocutaneous and joint involvement. Conflicting results were reported on the efficacy of colchicine on different mucocutaneous manifestations in randomized placebo-controlled trials. The relapsing and remitting nature of these manifestations in Behçet's syndrome may cause challenges in disease assessment during clinical trials. Another approach to evaluate the effectiveness of a medication is to evaluate whether the lesions recur or increase after discontinuation of the drug. The aim of this study is to assess mucocutaneous disease activity among Behçet's syndrome patients after discontinuation of colchicine treatment and compare it to patients who continue to use colchicine.
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 ).
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
