Filter by:This is a study of stem cell transplantation with TBX-1400 in pediatric subjects with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The donor cells are exposed to a protein that has been shown in the laboratory to improve the ability of the donor cells to make blood and immune cells after transplant. Exposure of the donor cells to this protein does not modify the genes in the cells in any way. This study has two goals. The first goal is to find out if transplant with TBX-1400 is safe. The second goal is to find out what effects TBX-1400 stem cells have on time to engraftment in pediatric subjects with SCID. The study hypothesis is that TBX-1400 cells will shorten the time to immune reconstitution after transplant.
This is an observational, case--control study with a single blood draw among two cohorts, patients with CVID and healthy controls. Samples will be analyzed by cytometry (CyTOF) to simultaneously examine the major signaling pathways of all circulating innate and adaptive immune cell types as well as whole exome sequencing. The goal is to improve our general understanding of the human immune response to infections and the diagnosis of CVID.
This study evaluates the current situation and follow-up of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Andalusia.
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a rare primary immunodeficiency dieases (PID), is poorly characterized in mainland China. We meant to explore the patients with SCID refered to our hospital and summarize their clinical manifestations and genetic features.
ASIS Corporation (ASIS) has developed the only automatic injection system for delivery of injectable products to it's optimum/right spot, just outside of the fascia, which exists subdermally (between the skin and muscle). Bloodless basically implies longer lasting medicinal effects, and minimal side effects - advantages that reflect the NIH mission of enhancing health, lengthening life, and reducing the burdens of illness and disability. ASIS device is stabilized on the surface of the skin with negative pressure and emits an electrical current to create a bloodless cavity subdermally. ASIS device correctly, automatically, and consistently delivers therapeutic agents, yet requiring little skill of a practitioner - providing the steady and safe infusion into subdermal bloodless space of virtually any injectable product in addition to Botox, including GAMMAGARD LIQUID, Enbrel, Insulin, and Fillers, etc. According to the FDA, "This innovation will have major impact on the healthcare industry."
In this study, it is hypothesized that helminth infections modulate immune responses against HIV-1 infection resulting into increased HIV-1 multiplication, faster progression to AIDS and increased episodes of AIDS-related opportunistic infections. Furthermore, the effect of helminth infections on progression of HIV-1 infection is dependent on helminth infection intensity, host background immunity, nutritional status, demographic factors and socio-economic status. Also, treatment of helminth infections using praziquantel and albendazole among HIV-1 infected individuals will lead to reduction in HIV-1 viral loads, improvement of CD4+ counts, CD4+/CD8+ ratio and Hb levels, improved weight gain and reduction of episodes of HIV-1 related opportunistic infections. In addition, HIV-1 infection is associated with poor anthelminthic treatment outcome as compared to non-HIV infected individuals
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of orally administered dimiracetam for 10 weeks to AIDS patients under treatment with antiretroviral agents presenting a disease and /or treatment related neuropathic pain.
The purpose of the clinical trial is to gain a more substantial understanding of bronchial inflammation in patients with severe primary immundeficiency under immunoglobulin therapy. It is intended to characterize the systemical such as the bronchial inflammation (IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, TNF-a, NFkB, IFN-gamma, TGF-beta, TLR2 und TLR4)in children with severe immune deficiency in order to generate new treatment strategies based on the results. The methods being used for characterization purposes within this trial include specific lung function tests ( spirography, bodyplethysmographie w. helium) such as the analysis of eNO and eCO. Furthermore, sputum and serum samples are being analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR),(qRT-PCR) and by cytometric bead assay (CBA). Components of the innate immune system (mannose-binding protein, TLR recognition proteins and surfactant proteins) are genetically determined from sputum or blood respectively. In the conduct of the study the investigators will retrospectively and systematically evaluate the available high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) studies of affected patients.
This study will recruit 520 treatment-naive and 150 treatment-experienced patients to take the first line or second line of antiviral therapy. This study aims to set up a well-trained clinical and laboratory team in China, to explore the effects and side-effects of the first-line and the second line of ARV treatment in Chinese HIV/AIDS adult patients, to investigate the side-effects of ARV drugs, such as hepatotoxicity, lipoatrophy, cardiovascular influence, to explore the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of Chinese generic ARV regiments and effective drug concentrations and to explore primary and secondary drug resistance in China and the immune reconstitution characters of long term ARV in Chinese adult AIDS patients. This study might provide more practical and optimizing prove for the treatment guideline for resource limited areas.
