Filter by:The investigational product is designed to effectively combat B cells in patients with autoimmune diseases. Autologous T cells enriched with CD4/CD8 are genetically engineered using a lentiviral vector to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that target the CD19 antigen on the cell surface of B cells and their precursors. During treatment, patients undergo leukapheresis, lymophodepleting chemotherapy and administration of the expanded CD19-CAR-transduced T cells.
This study aims to collect information on rheumatology patients' dietary habits, autoimmune disease activity, dietary changes, disease symptom improvements, and perceptions on their dietary habits and how it affects their autoimmune disease. The main objective is to see if rheumatology patients change their dietary habits after their diagnosis of an autoimmune disease and if it subjectively improved their disease symptoms. It will also look at rheumatology patients' expectations for their rheumatologist when it comes to dietary advice and what resources they used to choose their new dietary habits. The study also seeks to measure the interest that rheumatology patients have in pursuing dietary changes as a means of controlling the symptoms of their autoimmune disease. It is expected that patients who changed their eating habits to healthier diets such as a Mediterranean diet would report less severe autoimmune disease symptoms. There are limited dietary recommendations for the management of many rheumatological diseases, so this study seeks to assess rheumatology patients' willingness to try dietary modifications, what improvements they had, and why they decide to make these changes in light of limited information.
The goal of this clinical trial is to characterize to understand the effects of a type of cell therapy called Chimeric Antigen Receptor T lymphocyte (CAR T) therapy in adult patients with the autoimmune disease dermatomyositis. This study will utilize a technology that modifies a type of white blood cell called the cytotoxic T lymphocyte-this T cell normally functions in the immune system to kill infected or potentially harmful cells in the body. In CAR T therapy, the patients' white blood cells are harvested and the cytotoxic T cells are isolated and modified such that they are programmed to kill any cell that has a protein structure called "CD19" on its outer surface (membrane). Since the CD19 protein is only present on a type of white blood cell called the B lymphocyte, when these "re-engineered" cytotoxic T lymphocytes are then given back to the patient (by an infusion), these cells will seek out and kill essentially all of the patient's B cells. B cells are an important part of a person's immune system and have many functions, including the production of antibodies. It is thought that, in dermatomyositis and other autoimmune diseases, a tiny subset of these B cells plays a large role in making autoantibodies (antibodies directed against the patient's own tissues) and causing disease. The idea is that the therapy will "wipe out" all/most of the B cells in the patient so that they can make an entirely new set of B cells to recreate a functional immune system without the autoimmune disease. The main questions the study intends to answer are: - Understanding how well patients tolerate undergoing this therapy in terms of side effects; - Getting an early idea if this therapy can help certain aspects of the autoimmune disease, including inflammation in the skin, muscles, and lungs;
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of empasiprubart compared with placebo in adult participants with dermatomyositis (DM).
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the microbial community, host immunity and the presence or absence of concurrent rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease patients with anti-MDA5 antibody positive dermatomyositis.
RESET-Myositis: Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CABA-201 in Subjects with Active Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy
To detect the changes of lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of non-myopathic dermatomyositis with pulmonary interstitial disease, classical dermatomyositis with pulmonary interstitial disease, rheumatism with non-inflammatory myopathy with pulmonary interstitial disease and healthy adults among the 4 groups, and to detect the related cytokines secreted by lymphocyte subsets Th1,Th2 and Th17. Clinical features, distribution of peripheral lymphocyte subsets ratio and related cytokine content secreted by each lymphocyte subset were analyzed in each group, so as to explore the pathogenesis characteristics of nonmyopathic dermatomyositis complicated with pulmonary interstitial disease, in order to facilitate clinical guidance for diagnosis and treatment.
This is a single arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD19 targeted CAR-T cells therapy for patients with Refractory Autoimmune Disease
Dermatomyositis (DM) are rare and heterogeneous systemic autoimmune diseases, characterized by the association of muscle inflammation, skin inflammation and vasculopathy. DM concern both adults and children. DM can be life-threatening (interstitial lung disease, infectious complications) and responsible of significant functional disability (muscle weakness). Age of onset appear to be an independent prognostic factor. Juvenile-onset DM is characterized by a higher frequency of calcinosis, skin ulceration and digestive vasculitis. In adults, interstitial lung disease and cancer are more frequent with higher mortality. Data concerning the comparison of the initial severity between juvenile and adult-onset DM are limited. The main objective is to compare global severity between juvenile DM and adult-onset DM at initial diagnosis. Secondary objectives are: - to compare organ-specific severity between juvenile DM and adult-onset DM at diagnosis. - to compare damage during follow-up and at last follow-up between juvenile DM and adult-onset DM. - to compare activity at the last follow-up between juvenile DM and adult-onset DM. - to compare iatrogenic complications between juvenile DM and adult-onset DM.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate ventricular repolarization utilizing Tp-e intervals and Tp-e/QT ratios in patients with DM. The main questions it aims to answer are: - 1.Exploring the changes in ventricular repolarization parameters (QT interval, QTc interval, QTd, Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio) in patients with dermatomyositis, providing quantifiable indicators for early detection of arrhythmia in dermatomyositis patients; - 2.Exploring the role of inflammation in ventricular repolarization in DM patients, providing a basis for in-depth research on the diagnosis and prevention of arrhythmia in DM patients.
