Filter by:The investigational medicinal product (IMP), INM004, proposes to neutralize the toxin in the bloodstream to prevent the interaction of the Stx with the specific receptor, by means of a polyclonal antibody to be administered upon the appearance of symptoms (bloody diarrhea) and diagnosis of infection by STEC, thereby preventing the action of the toxin in the body. Thus, the initial hypothesis for examination is for the prevention of the full expression of HUS, based upon presumptive clinical, biochemical, and other biological evidence suggesting a risk of HUS at the time of treatment application. The polyclonal antibody (F(ab')2 fragment) is obtained by processing the serum of equine animals previously immunized against engineered Stx1B and Stx2B immunogens. INM004 could be administered at the earlier stages of STEC disease since subjects with STEC diarrhea are more likely to benefit from Stx neutralizing antibodies before the development of extra-intestinal manifestations and HUS. Neutralizing equine anti-Stx F(ab')2 antibodies (INM004) have the objective of preventing the development of HUS by blocking the circulating toxins in patients infected with STEC. Therefore, INM004 may be used in patients with a clinical manifestation of bloody diarrhea and a positive Stx result in feces. Early interruption of the Stx mediated cascade is expected to prevent the development of HUS, alleviate the severity of the illness, the rate of complications and the incidence/duration of hospitalizations. Therefore, patients in the early phases of the disease will be targeted in this study, ie, children who seek medical care due to diarrhea associated with STEC infection before HUS development.
This was a prospective, open-label study with no participant randomization. Treatment for aHUS was observational and at the discretion of the treating physician. The purpose of this study was to assess disease manifestations of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and evaluate potential clinical predictors of disease manifestations and progression in participants with aHUS with or without eculizumab treatment in the clinical setting.
This study evaluates the effect of CCX168, a C5aR Antagonist, Oral Administration on Ex Vivo Thrombus Formation and Disease Activity in ten patients with diagnosis of Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome with or without genetic abnormalities in the complement system or thrombomodulin, on stable chronic extracorporeal or peritoneal dialysis therapy since at least 6 months.
There is growing but limited information on the long term clinical status of aHUS patients who have previously received or are continuing to receive treatment with eculizumab. This study is designed to collect clinical data that will provide insight into the long-term outcomes of patients with aHUS.
This registry will collect clinical data and store biosamples (seru, plasma, urine, and DNA) annually from pediatric patients with thrombotic mcroangiopathy
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effect of SYNSORB Pk therapy on mortality and frequency of severe extrarenal complications observed in children with acute stage E. coli-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome. II. Determine the effect of SYNSORB Pk therapy on the need for the duration of dialysis in these patients. III. Determine the effect of SYNSORB Pk therapy on the recovery of renal function and resolution of urinary abnormalities in these patients.
