Filter by:Autoimmune diseases are characterized by various factors that contribute to a breakdown in self-tolerance, that is, the ability of the immune system to effectively distinguish self from non-self and to refrain from attacking self. Autoimmune diseases include a broad spectrum of disorders, such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Although significant progress has been achieved in the development of approaches to the treatment of autoimmune diseases, the etiologies, and pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases remain obscure (Tao et al., 2016) Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by bleeding due to isolated thrombocytopenia with platelet count less than 100 × 109/L (Neunert et al., 2019). ITP is classified based on course of disease into acute (3- <12 months), and chronic (≥12 months) (Provan et al., 2019). ITP usually has a chronic course in adults (Moulis et al., 2017) whereas approximately 8090% of children undergo spontaneous remission within weeks to months of disease onset (Heitink et al., 2018). The main pathogenesis of ITP is the loss of immune tolerance to platelet auto-antigens, which results in increased platelet destruction and impaired thrombopoiesis by autoantibodies and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) (Adiua et al., 2017). Among these abnormalities include the increased number of the T helper 1 (Th1) cells (Panitsas et al.,2004). the decreased number or defective suppressive function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) (Yu et al., 2008) , and the
Immune thrombocytopenia is an acquired autoimmune disease, in which platelets are opsonized by auto-antibodies and destroyed by phagocytic cells .Genetic polymorphisms in the immune mediators have been suggested to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune disorders . Several genetic polymorphisms of the immune system genes have been described in ITP such as interleukins, tumor necrosis factors (TNF) alpha and beta, and interferon-gamma., These polymorphisms were found to be associated with an increased risk of ITP progression or exacerbation .CD40 is a co-stimulatory 4348 kDa glycoprotein molecule composed of 277 amino acid residues which belongs to the tumor necrosis family. It is encoded by a gene which is located at chromosome 20q11-13, expressed mainly on antigen presenting cells (APCs), some non-immune cells and tumors.Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is a collective term for a large and heterogeneous group of circulating autoantibody. Reflecting their clinical importance, ANA are diagnostic, prognostic or classification criteria for many autoimmune diseases.

The main pathogenesis of ITP is the loss of immune tolerance to platelet auto-antigens, which results in increased platelet destruction and impaired thrombopoiesis by autoantibodies and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Platelet autoantibodies, particularly antiglycoprotein (GP) GPIIbIIIa and anti-GPIbIX, are known to cause thrombocytopenia in patients with ITP. As a main component of cellular immunity, T cells play an important role in body defense and peripheral tolerance. Changing number and function of these cells is closely associated with various diseases, including ITP.NK cells can also modulate cellular immunity in ITP patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a dose dense administration of Rituximab in newly diagnosed acute immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and determine relapse rate following this treatment. Correlative studies will be performed as outlined in the appendices. Quality of Life will be measured using the KIT as outlined in the protocol.
This study aims to determine the hemato-immunological parameters predictive of the evolution of a Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) towards chronicity, and to identify possible differences between the child and the adult.
In France, a national prospective cohort for monitoring children and adolescents with autoimmune cytopenia OBS'CEREVANCE is in place since 2004. It is coordinated in Bordeaux by the Center's team. Reference Rare Diseases CEREVANCE. It has been validated by the French Data Protection Authority in 2009 (information note and written consent). It had mid 2013 more of 900 patients, and the data collected make it possible to study intentionally to treat the therapeutic management of patients with Chronic Immune-Thrombocytopenic Purpura, from Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, or from EVANS syndrome. This study evaluates efficacy and tolerance at 6 months of treatment immunomodulators prescribed in France in real conditions of use, in children and adolescents under the age of 18, for a Chronic Immune-Thrombocytopenic Purpura, an Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia or a simultaneous EVANS syndrome.
The aim of this study is to determine histological immunological parameters, sought on splenectomy pieces that may explain the failure or success of splenectomy in patients with ITP who had a splenectomy to treat their ITP(Immune thrombocytopenic purpura).
This is a 2 part (Part A and B) adaptive, open-label, dose-finding study of PRN1008 in patients with ITP who are refractory or relapsed with no available and approved therapeutic options, with a platelet count <30,000/μL on two counts no sooner than 7 days apart in the 15 days before treatment begins. The dose-finding portion of the study has been completed. Part B treatment dose is 400 mg twice daily.
C-935788-055 is an open-label, multi-center, expanded access (EAP) study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of H. pylori eradication for the treatment of chronic or persistent immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) patients with moderate thrombocytopenia. This is a multi-center, open label, prospective randomized phase IIl study.
