Filter by:The purpose of the study is to improve the quality of future clinical trials in bullous pemphigoid (BP), the investigators will monitor repeated measurement data from patients with BP on standard-of-care treatments at four week intervals for four months.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (monoclonal antibodies targeting cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or programmed death ligand 1 (PD- L1)) have revolutionized the treatment of many cancers. The widespread use of these treatments has triggered a new spectrum of immune related adverse events (irAE). Several cases of bullous pemphigoid (BP) triggered by antiPD-1/PDL-1 therapy have been reported, and their characteristics are currently poorly described in the literature. The investigators sought to collect the French cases of BP triggered by antiPD-1/PDL-1 therapy, and to describe their clinical, biological and histological characteristics. In this national, retrospective, observational study, investigators included patients treated with antiPD-1/PDL-1 therapy, with a diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid occurring during treatment or up to 12 months after its discontinuation. Diagnosis of BP was made by the dermatologist and was based on the following criteria: compatible clinical presentation, compatible histopathology findings, positive direct immunofluorescence (DIF) studies, positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay BP180/enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay BP230.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of benralizumab is effective in the treatment of patients symptomatic Bullous Pemphigoid (BP).
The development of Auto Immune bullous Diseases (AIBD) results from a complex interaction between innate and adaptive immune systems. Bullous pemphigoid (BP), the most frequently encountered AIBD, predominantly affects elderly patients above 70 with an estimated incidence of 21.7 new cases/million/year in France.Interestingly, coversin, an anti-C5a and -leukotriene B4 small molecule, is currently used in a phase IIA clinical trial in BP patients (NCT04035733). However, although overall C5-blocking drugs are potentially interesting, they are likely to interfere with C5a-C5aR2-axis activation as well, a pathway that has recently proved protective in BP 12. The main objective is to investigate the clinical efficacy of an anti-C5aR1 antibody in addition to superpotent topical steroids compared to superpotent topical steroids alone in BP patients at 3 months.It is a case-controlled, randomized, open-labelled, and multicenter phase II clinical trial. Four Dermatologic French centers (Nice, Marseille Nord, Marseille Timone and Montpellier university hospitals) specialized in the in the care of BP patients will be participating in the study. It is expected that forty subjects will be included in this trial. Conversely, a more targeted inhibition of C5a-C5aR1 axis might be more effective in BP, sparing the potentially protective effect of C5a-C5aR2 interaction. Avdoralimab (IPH5401), a specific anti-C5aR1 monoclonal antibody, has already been credited of a good safety profile in the treatment of solid tumors and rheumatoid arthritis. The investigators hypothesize that avdoralimab might be a safe and effective treatment in BP patients
The investigators conducted a prospective study which included all patients diagnosed with biopsy-proven BP in the Dermatology Department of Attikon hospital between April 1, 2009 and December 31, 2019. 113 consecutive patients with BP were identified. The investigators included the patients with type 2 diabetes and investigated the percentage of patients who were under treatment with DPP4-is. The specific DPP4-i prescribed was also documented.Medical information including patients' age, sex, other comorbidities and concomitant medications were also recorded. Furthermore, the investigators evaluated the effect of different types of treatment (topical steroids, systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents) on bullous pemphigoid.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate whether dupilumab is effective and safe for the treatment of bullous pemphigoid. Dupilumab is a type of drug called a "monoclonal antibody". An antibody is a special kind of protein that the immune (defense) system normally makes to fight bacteria and viruses. Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease, predominately affecting the elderly (typical onset after age 60). The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - Side effects that may be experienced by people taking dupilumab - How dupilumab works in the body and affects the body - How dupilumab affects quality of life - How much dupilumab is present in the blood - To see if dupilumab works to wean the patient off oral corticosteroids
To evaluate the efficacy of rituximab combined with omalizumab in achieving sustained complete remission, evaluated by Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI) in patients with bullous pemphigoid (BP) at Week 24 in patients with active moderate-to-severe BP refractory to rituximab therapy alone.
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease and typically affects the elderly. Clinically, BP is an intensely pruritic erythematous eruption with widespread blister formation. BP is usually a chronic disease, with spontaneous exacerbations and remissions, which may be accompanied by significant morbidity. BP usually requires on average a 1-year duration of treatment. Superpotent topical corticosteroids have been demonstrated to be effective. Despite their high efficacy, topical corticosteroids are often considered as poorly convenient, requiring the assistance of patients' relatives or a nurse to apply the topical treatment on a long period of time. Overall, whereas BP lesions can be adequately and rapidly controlled with either topical corticosteroids, there is a high need for a safe maintenance therapy to avoid treatment side effects due to cumulative doses of corticosteroids over months. Newer therapeutic agents such as ustekinumab targeting molecules involved in the inflammatory cascade associated with BP represent future alternatives to classical immunosuppressant drugs for maintenance therapy.
Bullous pemphigoid is the most common type of bullous skin disease and is clinically characterized by clear-tense bullae, which result in post-bullous cutaneous erosions, altering the skin barrier. The treatment of this pathology consists of the application of high doses of topical corticosteroids (clobetasol propionate) for a prolonged period of at least 6 months. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate a change in bone mineral density at 6 months after initiation of treatment, in subjects with bullous pemphigoid and treated with topical corticosteroid.
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune bullous dermatosis. It mainly affects the elderly, and its cutaneous manifestations are extremely varied. Since the publication of the first case of PB associated with sulfasalazine in 1970, several drugs have been reported for their potential link with the development of PB. Recently, cases of PB associated with dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP4) inhibitors, also known as gliptins, have been reported. DPP4 inhibitors are oral antidiabetic agents prescribed to patients with type 2 diabetes, as monotherapy, in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents or with insulin. In recent years, an increasing number of cases have been published, describing the potential role of gliptins in PB induction. All these clinical cases and pharmacovigilance analyzes tend to show an increased risk of developing BP in case of gliptin exposure. The main objective is to evaluate the risk of developing a PB under DPP4 inhibitor treatment, comparing cases of diabetic patients with BP, to matched diabetic controls for sex and age, from French departments. Endocrinology in a retrospective study from 1 January 2014 to 31 July 2016. The study will be conducted using databases of clinical and histological records. The investigators will perform a retrospective 1: 2 case-control study comparing cases with type 2 diabetes and BP to matched diabetic controls for sex and age, randomly drawn from French endocrinology departments (Marseille La Conception ) and Switzerland (Bern), between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2016. the investigators will compare gliptin exposure in the case-control group versus the control group, adjusting for potential confounding bias using models. logistic regression.
