Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CC-93538 in adult and adolescent participants with eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic effect of subcutaneous lirentelimab (AK002), given monthly for 6 doses, in subjects with moderate to severe Eosinophilic Gastritis and/or Eosinophilic Duodenitis who have an inadequate response with, lost response to, or were intolerant to standard therapies.
Main objective: investigate gene expression differences in nasal epithelium and sputum between eosinophilic COPD exacerbations and other subtypes.
This STRING study will examine markers of esophageal inflammation using a minimally-invasive testing device, the esophageal string test (EST). The primary objective is to determine the effect of omalizumab (Xolair) and dupilumab (Dupixent) on markers of eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus of subjects treated with omalizumab-facilitated mOIT(mult-allergen oral immunotherapy) and/or mOIT with concurrent dupilumab.
This is a Phase 3, open-label, extension study to assess the long term efficacy and safety of lirentelimab given monthly.
Introduction: The etiology and therapy of eosinophilic lung diseases are still poorly understood. For individual forms of disease, such as eosinophilic asthma or eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), new therapeutic approaches exist that block the interleukin IL-5 or the IL-5 receptor. Eosinophilic manifestations of the respiratory tract can exclusively affect the lungs or occur as part of a systemic disease. The manifestations partially overlap and are clinically difficult to differentiate (e.g. eosinophilic asthma, Samter Triad, EGPA or hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES)). It is now known that blood eosinophil counts correlate with the level of eosinophils recruited to the airways. However, it is still unclear whether there is a blood eosinophilia without clinical relevance or whether there is a risk of organ damage (e.g. in HES). Hence, different subtypes of eosinophils with different polarization are discussed. Aim of the study: A registry of patients with eosinophilia and respiratory manifestation will be established at the University Hospital of Innsbruck. The course of disease will be evaluated prospectively in a non-interventional study. This study stands on three main clinical pillars with focus on further characterization of eosinophilic cells: 1. Patients will be included who switch from a previous application of the anti-IL5 antibody mepolizumab (production and administration of the injection from lyophysate through the doctor) to the pre-mixed pen (self-injection at home). 2. Furthermore, special focus is set on patients suffering from the so-called Samter Triad. In these patients, the control of asthma, nasal polyps and NSAID intolerance will be examined in an interdisciplinary fashion during the course of treatment. 3. Previous clinical studies at our Department indicate that some patients with severe eosinophilic asthma or Samter Triad could represent a mono-organic or limited manifestation of lymphoid HES. This hypothesis is tested by measuring additional chemokines, somatic mutations and FACS parameters in this subgroup to verify a clonal disease. In addition, translational research will differentiate resident and inflammatory eosinophilic granulocytes by FACS analysis and further characterize them by fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, gene chip analysis and lipidomics, in the above-mentioned diseases and in healthy controls, respectively. Patients and methods: All patients suffering from eosinophilia with pulmonary involvement who are diagnosed with eosinophilic asthma, EGPA, Samter Triad, HES, and eosinophilic pneumonia with signed consent are included in the prospective registry. Provided, that they are registered at the outpatient department of pneumology, ENT, haematology or allergology at the University Hospital Innsbruck. The investigators will collect laboratory analyses, lung function, imaging, bone marrow biopsies, ENT findings and allergological findings over the course of the study. Furthermore, additional blood tubes are collected during routine blood tests, which are used to identify and characterize subtypes of eosinophilic granulocytes. Risks for patients: No additional examinations, blood sampling or invasive measures are required for the patient. Thus, there is no additional risk for study participants. Risks for control subjects: In order to be able to compare our results with the healthy population, volunteer subjects are recruited. After consent has been given, a blood sample is taken. Despite the low risk, it is theoretically possible that blood sampling may be accompanied by non-severe complications (such as hematoma, infection). Benefits: The investigators expect new insights into phenotype and therapy of patients with eosinophilic manifestations of the respiratory tract.
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of lirentelimab (AK002), given monthly for 6 doses, in patients with moderately to severely active Eosinophilic Gastritis and/or Eosinophilic Duodenitis (formerly referred to as Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis) who have an inadequate response with, lost response to, or were intolerant to standard therapies
Asthma, abbreviation for bronchial asthma, is one of the common chronic airways disease that threatens human health. Typical symptoms of asthma are recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough, usually occurring at night or early morning. However, there are still some patients with only persistent clinical manifestations of chest tightness. Concerned about this group of patients, investigators presented a subgroup of bronchial asthma, namely, chest tightness variant asthma (CTVA). This asthma subgroup usually lacks asthma-specific clinical features such as wheezing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and therefore often misdiagnosed for a long time. However, there is lack of definite treatment strategy for CTVA. In order to further understand the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with CTVA, investigators conducted a national multicenter randomized control trial(RCT) study that compares inhaled corticosteroid(ICS)/ long-acting beta2-agonist(LABA) + Montelukast with ICS/LABA. Finally, investigators plan to clarify whether ICS/LABA plus Montelukast is more appropriate treatment than only ICS/LABA in CTVA patients.
This is a proof of concept pilot study to investigate the efficacy of mepolizumab in the treatment of eosinophilic fasciitis.
This study evaluates the influence of home air purification on the lung health of adults with eosinophilic COPD. Half of the participants will receive real air purifiers (HEPA filters) and half will receive sham air purifiers.
