Filter by:This will be a single-site, open-label study in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-BTLA agonist therapy (LY3361237) in treating patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of LY3361237 in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome by assessing changes in the Sjogren's Tool for Assessing Response (STAR) after 12 weeks of treatment. The secondary objective is to determine the effect of LY3361237 on glandular changes measured by PET/MRI.
Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic, multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by lacrimal and salivary gland inflammation, with resultant dryness of the eyes and mouth and occasional glandular enlargement. In addition, a variety of systemic manifestations may occur; including fatigue, musculoskeletal symptoms, rashes, and internal organ (e.g., pulmonary, renal, hepatic, and neurologic) disease. Sjogren's syndrome may occur in isolation, primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS), or in a secondary form, often associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or systemic sclerosis. Ravagalimab is an investigational drug being developed to help treat patients with inflammatory diseases like SS. This study will evaluate how well ravagalimab works within the body and how safe it is in patients with primary SS (pSS). Ravagalimab, a potent CD40 antagonist is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome (SS). This study is "double-blinded", which means that neither the trial participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given which study drug. Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Participants 18-75 years of age with Sjogren's syndrome (SS) will be enrolled. Around 45 participants will be enrolled in the study in multiple sites within Netherlands. Participants will receive ravagalimab intravenous (IV) loading dose or IV placebo at baseline followed by subcutaneous (SC) ravagalimab or matching placebo for 22 weeks. There will be a higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, labial gland (lip) biopsy, and checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
To demonstrate that tibulizumab (LY3090106) treatment improves the mean unstimulated salivary flow rate or the salivary gland total ultrasound score (TUS) in primary Sjogren's syndrome patients at week 12 compared to the baseline visit.
To explore the association among TCM pattern, TCM tongue diagnosis and TCM pulse diagnosis for Autoimmune disease and Dry eye syndrome
This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of repeat dose administration of GSK2618960 in the treatment of pSS. The study will contain two parts, Part I will be open label and Part II will be randomized, double-blind. The minimum duration of Part I & Part II of the study will be 26 and 32 weeks respectively.
The study is to evaluate the clinical performance of BioCLIA Ro60 for measuring the autoantibody in autoimmune disease patients.
This study consists of three consecutive parts. Part 1 in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients (n=2-6) and Part 2 in healthy voluteers (n=3) are feasibility studies to assess if the selected [Zr-89]-rituximab PET/CT method is a valid method to assess B cells in salivary glands of pSS patients. In Part 1 and Part 2 no IMP will be applied to the subjects. In Part 3, pSS patients (n=12) will receive the IMP, VAY736. Posted information will be focused on Part 3. The overarching purpose of this study is to test a new drug (VAY736) for the treatment of pSS. In pSS, the salivary glands (the glands that produce saliva) and other organs are affected by inflammation. A certain type of white blood cells called B cells prominently infiltrate the salivary glands in pSS, whereas they are not present in healthy salivary glands. Scientific evidence suggests that B cells may be involved in the disease process in pSS and that eliminating B cells may benefit patients with pSS. This study will test a new imaging method and a new treatment for pSS. Both the imaging method and the treatment are specific for B cells.
Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is an autoimmune disease characterized primarily by exocrine gland dysfunction, specifically of the salivary and lacrimal glands, resulting in dry mouth and dry eyes symptoms. It can be systemic by affecting other organs including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, lungs, vasculature, kidneys, bladder and vagina. Involvement of the musculature can lead to fibromyalgia-like symptoms and chronic fatigue, while approximately 20% of patients develop various neuropathies, including sensory, peripheral, cranial and myelopathic neuropathies exhibited by cognitive impairments such as dementia, lack of concentration, memory loss and various psychiatric disorders. Like most autoimmune connective tissue diseases, SjS shows a sexual dimorphism with women affected 10-times more frequently than men, suggesting a role for sex hormones in disease susceptibility or progression. One common feature of SjS is it infiltration of mononuclear cells into the salivary and lacrimal glands, aggregating into clusters referred to as lymphocytic foci (LF). Critical to the studies proposed is the fact that a predominant cell population of LF is the pathogenic TH17 cell that produces IL-17 cytokine and autoreactive B cells reactive to M3R, Ro, and La autoantigens. The goal of this study is characterize the change in receptor gene repertoires of autoreactive B and T cells at different time points during the disease process and examine the correlation with various disease parameters.
The primary purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Abatacept in subjects with Sjogren's Syndrome (SS). This clinical trial study will enroll and treat 15 subjects with active moderate and severe inflammatory arthritis associated with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) and secondary Sjogren's sybdrine (sSS) with Rheumatoid Arthrits (RA). All subjects will receive Abatacept weekly by Subcutaneous (SC) dosing. Subjects will receive Abatacept by SC injection of 125 mg on day 1 and followed by 125 mg SC weekly thereafter.
Patients with Sjogren's disease have destruction of the mucus secreting cells in the airway. This manifestation of the disease leads to the common complaint of persistent dry cough that is seen in many of these patients. This study is aimed at determining whether the regular use of Pulmozyme will result in decreased cough and improved quality of life.
