A phase IIa, open label, non controlled clinical trial to assess the feasibility and safety of allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC) in the treatment of cicatricial conjunctivitis associated with Lyell's syndrome, Stevens-Johnson's syndrome and mucous membrane pemphigoid with ocular involvement
The aim of the study is to validate a global and simple score : IGA (Investigator Global Assessment) score for the evaluation of the extent and severity of the disease in patients with bullous pemphigoid
Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune life-threatening blistering condition affecting skin and mucous membranes. Pemphigus belongs to a family of polygenic disorders. Several different genes encoding molecules regulate pemphigus autoimmunity. Many trials focused on HLA investigation. Increased levels of certain HLA class II alleles frequencies in pemphigus have been reported in various populations. However, they were not investigated in the Russian population. The aim of our study is to investigate HLA class II alleles and haplotypes in Russian patients with pemphigus. Methods Patients and controls We are recruiting 120 patients with pemphigus. The diagnosis was based on clinical and histopathological findings and confirmed by immunofluorescent techniques (direct and indirect immunofluorescent tests). Before sampling, written consent was obtained from each subject. A single blood sample for HLA typing was obtained from all subjects. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Sechenov University, Russia. Phenotypic and allelic frequencies were compared with healthy blood donors (n=100) registered in Sechenov University blood center.
ARGX-113-2009 is an operationally seamless 2-part, phase 2/3, prospective, global, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, participant-reported outcome measures (including those assessing participant QoL), PK, and PD of efgartigimod PH20 SC administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection in adult participants with moderate to severe BP. This study intends to demonstrate that efgartigimod is an effective and safe treatment for BP, providing participants with control of disease activity (CDA) and eventually remission while reducing their cumulative exposure to OCS. study will consist of 2 parts: - Part A of the study is a phase 2 evaluation that intends to provide proof of concept for the therapeutic activity of efgartigimod PH20 SC in participants with BP. - Part B of the study is a phase 3 evaluation that intends to confirm the results obtained from part A in a separate, larger group of participants with BP. An interim analysis will be performed during part A (on data obtained through week 26 for all Part A participants) to assess the primary endpoint and several secondary endpoints, confirm the appropriate sample size for part B of the study, and determine whether the efficacy results observed through week 26 of part A warrant continued study of efgartigimod PH20 SC for the treatment of participants with BP (futility analysis). Other than differences in main goals, endpoints, and statistical analyses, parts A and B are identical in schedule, structure, assessments, and conduct.
Ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is an autoimmune, scarring conjunctivitis that can lead to vision loss and permanent disability. It is a rare disorder with an estimated incidence of 1 in 60,000. There are currently no FDA-approved medications for the treatment of mucous membrane pemphigoid, highlighting a clear unmet need. At present, moderate to severe disease requires off-label use of potent immunosuppressive agents, such as oral anti-proliferatives (methotrexate, azathioprine, and mycophenolate), rituximab (RTX) or cyclophosphamide (CyC). Recently, Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition with baricitinib or tofacitinib been reported to be successful in one case of ocular MMP. This is a randomized, single-masked, two-arm study of baricitinib vs anti-proliferatives for ocular MMP.
A phase III two-part study of nomacopan, a bifunctional inhibitor of complement component C5 and leukotriene B4 (LTB4), for the treatment of moderate and severe bullous pemphigoid. There is evidence that both terminal complement activation (via C5) and the lipid mediator LTB4 may have a central role in driving the disease. In this study patients will be randomized to receive either nomacopan plus oral corticosteroids (OCS) or placebo plus OCS for a treatment period of 24 weeks. OCS will be tapered over the course of the treatment if the symptoms of disease improve.
Abstract: Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is an autoimmune blistering disorder characterized by inflammation, blistering, and scarring and predominantly occurring at mucous membranes. Successful treatment can be challenging, and uncontrolled disease may result in significant morbidity with scarring of the conjunctiva and oropharynx leading to blindness and dysphagia. Therefore successful treatment is a must to improve patient quality of life. Aim of work: to evaluate clinically the effectiveness of systemic large dose of prednisolone plus intra-lesional of Triamcinolone Acetonide followed the systemic combination of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), dapsone and low dose prednisolone in treatment of MMP cases. Materials and method: 10 patients suffering from MMP were selected after complete diagnosis based on their clinical diagnosis and immunopathologic findings of IgG, IgA, and/or C3 targeting skin basement membranes with a linear deposition pattern refered from dermatology department. These patient were treated using large dose of prednisone 60mg daily plus intrational injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide every week until no further improvement of the lesion occurred (stage I) then the prednisolone is withdrawn gradually and substituted with using 1 g of MMF plus 50 mg dapsone till the lowest dose of prednisone could be reached (stage II). The lesion size and pain score will be assessed before treatment and during treatment in stage I and stage II. These data will be tabulated and statistically analyzed
The purpose of the study is to improve the quality of future clinical trials in bullous pemphigoid (BP), the investigators will monitor repeated measurement data from patients with BP on standard-of-care treatments at four week intervals for four months.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (monoclonal antibodies targeting cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or programmed death ligand 1 (PD- L1)) have revolutionized the treatment of many cancers. The widespread use of these treatments has triggered a new spectrum of immune related adverse events (irAE). Several cases of bullous pemphigoid (BP) triggered by antiPD-1/PDL-1 therapy have been reported, and their characteristics are currently poorly described in the literature. The investigators sought to collect the French cases of BP triggered by antiPD-1/PDL-1 therapy, and to describe their clinical, biological and histological characteristics. In this national, retrospective, observational study, investigators included patients treated with antiPD-1/PDL-1 therapy, with a diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid occurring during treatment or up to 12 months after its discontinuation. Diagnosis of BP was made by the dermatologist and was based on the following criteria: compatible clinical presentation, compatible histopathology findings, positive direct immunofluorescence (DIF) studies, positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay BP180/enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay BP230.
