View clinical trials related to Mastocytosis.
Filter by:Mastocytosis is a rare condition characterized by an accumulation of mast cell cells in one or more organs such as the liver, bone marrow, spleen and intestines. Its prevalence in the general population is 1 in 10,000. This pathology is due to the proliferation of a mast cell clone and the excessive release of inflammatory mediators which lead to abnormal tissue infiltration. To date, there are only a few cases reporting ocular and orbital manifestations of mastocytosis. Our prospective, interventional and single-center study consist in describing the ocular functional manifestations and ocular surface abnormalities of patients with systemic and cutaneous mastocytosis.
BLU-285-2405 is a multi-center, synthetic control, observational and retrospective study designed to compare clinical outcomes for avapritinib compared with best available therapy for patients with AdvSM.
Background: Mast cells help the body fight disease and heal wounds. People with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) make too many mast cells. This causes pain, tiredness, digestive problems, and other symptoms. Researchers think the drug sarilumab could help. Objective: To see if sarilumab is a safe and effective treatment for people with ISM. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-75 with ISM who are enrolled in NIH study 02-I-0277 Design: Participants will be screened with: - Physical exam - Medical history - Blood and urine tests - Questionnaires - Bone marrow removed by a needle inserted into the hip bone - Ultrasound of the abdomen - Photographs of the skin Participants will repeat some screening tests at study visits. Participants will have a baseline visit in the hospital for 3 days. They will: - Be assigned to get either the study drug or a placebo. They will not know which one they get. - Have a skin punch biopsy: An instrument will remove a small piece of skin. - Get their first drug dose injected under their skin Participants will keep a side effect and medication diary during the study. Participants will visit the clinic to get a drug dose every 2 weeks, for a total of 8 doses. Participants will have a visit 2 weeks after their final dose. It will last up to 2 days. Participants will have another visit 12 weeks later. Participants may then continue this study for 1 more year. Those who continue will get sarilumab, even if they previously got the placebo, every 2 weeks. They will have visits every 6 weeks, and then every 3 months.
Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous rare disease. A 27-item questionnaire to assess the quality of life of patients with cutaneous/ indolent systemic mastocytosis was developed in the German language and validated in the English language in 2015. The team of the University Charité Berlin and the company Moxie - intellectual proprietor of the questionnaire - proposed the use of the recommendations of Baiardini et al. 2010, for linguistic adaptation of this questionnaire in other languages.
Activation of mast cells in the immune system is known to cause allergic reactions sometimes with severe systemic symptoms. The investigators have recently developed a blood-based mast cell activation diagnostic test in which levels of functional activation in-vitro in primary cultured mast cells generated from the peripheral blood of single individuals can be assessed. It is the hypothesis that the test can be used to predict the potential state of in-vivo mast cell activation in any individual based on the functional activation profiles exhibited by their cultured mast cells. The investigators now wish to translate their in-vitro findings in a pilot study to disease groups where mast cell activation is expected to be high. These include highly allergic individuals; those with chronic idiopathic urticaria; those with mastocytosis; and those with the mast cell activation syndrome. Furthermore, they will use the functional genomics approach to identify gene expression biomarkers that are correlated with such diseases. The results will be compared with data that have been collected from a cohort of healthy control blood donors.
The study is looking at the efficacy of subcutaneously administrated denosumab 60 mg every 6 months versus placebo after 3 years, by analyze of lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) in systemic mastocytosis. Investigators hypothesize that use of denosumab subcutaneously in patients with osteoporosis related to systemic mastocytosis is effective and safe to improve bone mineral density and prevent new bone events, based on targeted specific RANKL secretion by mast cells and short half-life of denosumab.
This is a Phase 1 study to investigate the safety and tolerability of AK002 in patients with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM).
Pediatric mastocytosis is an orphan disease, which encompasses several clinically distinct entities including solitary mastocytoma, urticaria pigmentosa, diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis and the newly recognized mast cell activation syndrome. The most common form of pediatric mastocytosis is cutaneous maculopapular mastocytosis (CMPM), also known as urticaria pigmentosa (UP). There are significant knowledge gaps regarding the genetic basis of pediatric mastocytosis and the functional activity of mast cells in this condition. The Pediatric Dermatology and Pediatric Oncology services at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital are seeing significant growth in clinical volumes of pediatric mastocytosis, including rare, familial cases. The aims of this study are to prospectively explore germline risk for UP and to perform a mutational analysis to identify somatic mutations, beyond those currently identified, in pediatric patients with UP.
The Mast Cell Connect Registry is a voluntary, observational database that will capture demographic, socioeconomic, and disease information directly from patients with mastocytosis via a secure web-based tool. No experimental intervention is involved.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity of DCC-2618, administered orally (PO), in adult patients with advanced malignancies. The study consists of 2 parts, a dose-escalation phase, and an expansion phase. All active patients (from both dose-escalation and expansion phases) will then transition into an extension phase.
