Filter by:The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate the factors influencing in-hospital relapse during acute episodes of pemphigus, an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by self-antibodies targeting desmogleins. The study included 96 pemphigus patients hospitalized in China between January 2014 and December 2020. The primary questions addressed by the study were: What are the risk factors associated with in-hospital relapse during acute episodes of pemphigus? Participants in the study underwent a retrospective analysis using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis to identify and understand the various risk factors contributing to in-hospital relapse. This research aimed to contribute valuable insights into the factors influencing the course of pemphigus, providing crucial information for better management and treatment strategies.
To collect, preserve, and/or distribute annotated biospecimens and associated medical data to institutionally approved, investigator-directed biomedical research to discover and develop new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative methods for specific and complex conditions.
This study assesses the disinfectant and healing promoting effect of ozonated olive oil in treatment of pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid in comparison to conventional topical treatment with topical antibiotic.
Aim: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune bullous disease that can involve the skin and mucous membranes, characterized by intraepidermal bullae and eroded lesions caused by rupture of the bullae. The aim of this study is to research the relationship of the findings obtained with Tzanck smear, which is an inexpensive and easy method, with disease activity and its prognostic importance in the clinical course in PV patients. Material and Methods: Pemphigus patients who visited to Goztepe Prof. Dr. Suleyman Yalcın City Hospital, Dermatology Clinic will be included in our study. Pemphigus disease area index (PDAI), Tzanck smear findings from the lesions and desmoglein levels during routine follow-up of patients with pemphigus vesicle/bulla/erosion will be evaluated. In the evaluation of Tzanck smear preparations, the entire slide will be scanned, acantholytic cell count performed and scored 1 to 4 accordingly (1 point: 1-3 cells, 2 points: 4-10 cells, 3 points:11-20, 4 points: >21 cells or cell clusters). Anti-desmoglein antibody levels will be analyzed by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare, chronic, debilitating, and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder that is characterized by mucocutaneous blisters.Abatacept is a biologic drug that belongs to the class of T-cell co-stimulation modulators and is used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
This is a randomized, multi-site, adaptive, open-label clinical trial comparing the immune response to different additional doses of COVID-19 vaccine in participants with autoimmune disease requiring IS medications. All study participants will have negative serologic or suboptimal responses (defined as a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S result ≤200 U/mL) or a low immune response (defined as a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S result >200 U/ml and ≤2500 U/mL) to their previous doses of COVID-19 vaccine. The study will focus on 5 autoimmune diseases in adults: - Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) - Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) - Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), and - Pemphigus. This study will focus on 4 autoimmune diseases in pediatric participants: - Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) - Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) - Pediatric-Onset Multiple Sclerosis (POMS) - Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM)
This is a prospective, multicenter, open label extension (OLE) trial on the efficacy, safety, patient outcome measures, tolerability, immunogenicity, PK and PD of efgartigimod PH20 SC in adult PV or PF participants, who participated in antecedent trial ARGX-113-1904. This trial provides extension of efgartigimod PH20 SC treatment and retreatment options for participants who have been randomized to efgartigimod PH20 SC treatment arm in the trial ARGX-113-1904, and the first treatment of efgartigimod PH20 SC and retreatment options for participants who had been randomized to placebo arm in trial ARGX-113-1904. Trial ARGX-113-1905 evaluates ability to (further) taper prednisone therapy and achieve Clinical Remission (CR) off therapy (CRoff), the ability to achieve CR and CR on minimal therapy (CRmin) for participants who had not yet achieved CRmin, and the ability to treat flare; and assess patient outcome measures and the safety, PD, PK and immunogenicity of efgartigimod PH20 SC over the duration of trial. Study duration: Up to 60 weeks for participants who receive IMP administration up to 52 weeks and with a follow-up period of 8 weeks after the last IMP administration
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial to investigate the efficacy, safety, patient outcome measures, tolerability, immunogenicity, PK, and PD of efgartigimod PH20 SC in adult participants aged from 18 years with PV or PF. The trial comprises a screening period of up to 3 weeks, a treatment period of up to 30 weeks, and an 8-week follow-up period for participants who do not enroll into the open-label extension (OLE) trial ARGX-113-1905. The primary objective of the ARGX-113-1904 trial is to demonstrate the efficacy of subcutaneous administration of efgartigimod co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (Efgartigimod PH20 SC) compared to placebo in the treatment of participants with Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV). Secondary objectives are to also demonstrate the efficacy of efgartigimod PH20 SC in the treatment of participants with Pemphigus Foliaceus (PF), and to demonstrate early onset of action and a prednisone-sparing effect. After confirmation of eligibility, participants will be randomized in a 2: 1 ratio to receive efgartigimod PH20 SC or placebo
Topical steroid therapy is considered the first line of treatment for Oral Inflammatory Ulcerative Diseases with current treatment regimens requiring multiple application or rinses daily. Using Mucolox™ as a vehicle to deliver topical dexamethasone to the oral mucosa has the potential to effectively prolong contact time between the medication. The primary objective of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy and tolerability of compound dexamethasone at 0.5 mg/5 mL in Mucolox™ for the treatment of Oral Inflammatory Ulcerative Diseases as measured by a reduction in oral symptoms between patients treated with compounded dexamethasone 0.5mg/5ml solution in Mucolox™ (group A) and patients treated with topical commercial dexamethasone 0.5mg/5ml solution only (group B). and mucosa, leading to improved clinical outcomes due to the need for less frequent application.
A phase 1/2, open-label, safety and dosing study of autologous CART cells (desmoglein 3 chimeric autoantibody receptor T cells [DSG3-CAART] or CD19-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells [CABA-201]) in subjects with active, pemphigus vulgaris
