132 Clinical Trials for Autoimmune Disease
Single-site, open label pilot study of 20 autoimmune patients diagnosed with dry eye demonstrating via the proparacaine challenge some peripheral corneal pain component. At least 16 patients will receive and complete 12 weeks of 80 units of Acthar Gel to be injected subcutaneously twice weekly via Acthar Gel single-dose pre-filled SelfJectTM injector (SelfJect) to assess the effects on subjective sensation of ocular pain, conjunctival and corneal staining, in vivo assessments of corneal nerves as measured by confocal imaging, VAS scales of common neuropathic pain symptoms and comfort of SelfJect will be assessed.
Background: Autoimmune diseases can be caused by genes people inherit from their parents. The gene changes that cause these diseases have been well studied in people with European and Asian ancestors. But some diseases behave differently in people who are native to North and South America. Researchers want to know more about the gene changes and other factors that may cause autoimmune diseases among these people. This project will be based in Peru. Objective: To study how gene changes can lead to autoimmune diseases in people native to Peru. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with an autoimmune disease. These may include systemic lupus erythematosus; Sjogren disease; scleroderma; rheumatoid arthritis; seronegative spondylo-arthropathies; and systemic vasculitis. Family members and healthy volunteers are also needed. Design: Participants will have 2 clinic visits; these will be 2 weeks apart. The clinics will be in Lima, Iquitos, and other sites in Peru. Visit 1: Participants will have a physical exam. They will answer questions about their health risks and habits. They will provide blood and urine samples. Visit 2: Participants will provide a second blood sample and a stool sample. They will talk about the results of their first clinical exam with researchers. The cost of travel to and from the clinics will be provided. Participants will get $30 per visit and a snack.
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, ascending dose Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of CTX112 in adult subjects with refractory autoimmune diseases, including active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).
The main objective of the study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Azercabtagene zapreleucel (azer-cel).
The most clinically meaningful way to discover new targets of T cells in autoimmune diseases is to study the tissues of patients with active autoimmune disease mediated organ inflammation. These tissues contain both cytotoxic and helper T cells that are driving their disease, and these T cells are being guided by TCRs that recognize tissue-specific targets. By collecting tissue when a patient has active inflammation, it is possible to determine which T cells are activated and undergoing clonal expansion in the patient's diseased organ. TScan has developed a genome-wide, high-throughput technology to determine the natural, physiological target of any TCR (Kula, 2019). The goal of this study is to isolate T cells from inflamed tissues and matched blood samples and/or matched normal tissues (for patients with inflammatory bowel diseases). T cell clones that are expanded in diseased tissues relative to blood or normal tissues will be selected and the targets of their TCRs will be defined using TScan's genome-wide, high-throughput target ID technology. The goal of this study is to discover a collection of peptide targets, along with their associated TCRs to be developed as new tolerogenic therapies for patients with autoimmune diseases.
This study will evaluate the safety and activity of AB-101 in combination with rituximab in B-cell associated autoimmune diseases where rituximab is currently FDA approved (e.g., Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV), Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)/microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) as a therapeutic, or is recommended (e.g., in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) as a cornerstone for disease management.

A subset of autoimmune diseases (ADs) in children and young adults are life-threatening and unresponsive to conventional treatments. In these patients, the delivery of high dose immunosuppressive therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) offers a treatment strategy capable of purging the pathogenic, autoreactive immune system and an opportunity for "immune reset." This strategy has been used in adults across a myriad of indications with evidence for efficacy. This study proposes a pilot study to evaluate this therapeutic strategy in children and young adults with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), two potentially life threatening autoimmune diseases that may response to this therapeutic approach.
This study learn how easily patients can use an educational tool that will be created for patients with melanoma and pre-existing autoimmune diseases who receive or will receive immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs. Patients will be asked their opinions about the design, accessibility, and content of the tool. Researchers will use the information collected to improve the educational materials that will help patients make future decisions about their treatment.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This multi-site registry, centered at Duke University, will enroll pregnant women with autoimmune and rheumatologic diseases. The main goal of MADRA is to identify ways to improve the health of women with rheumatic diseases and their babies during pregnancy. Prior studies demonstrate the importance of increase inflammation prior to and during pregnancy on these outcomes. The future research will seek to better define these risk factors and to identify ways to may improve them.
The purpose of the OTIS Autoimmune Diseases in Pregnancy Study is to monitor planned and unplanned pregnancies exposed to certain medications, to evaluate the possible teratogenic effect of these medications and to follow live born infants for one year after birth. With respect to fetal outcome, it is important to evaluate the spectrum of outcomes that may be relevant to a medication exposure during pregnancy, and these include both easily recognizable defects which are visible at birth, as well as more subtle or delayed defects that may not be readily identifiable without special expertise and observation beyond the newborn period.
This is a phase 1, open-label, non-randomized study enrolling pediatric and young adult research participants with treatment-refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), to examine the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of administering T cell products derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) that have been genetically modified to express CD19 specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) A child or young adult meeting all eligibility criteria and meeting none of the exclusion criteria will have their T cells collected. The T cells will then be bioengineered into a CAR T cell that targets circulating and tissue residing B cells.
The purpose of this study is to better understand how the treatment of cancer with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) leads to the development of autoimmunity. Specifically, we wish to understand the genetics and immune system features that cause a subset of cancer patients treated with checkpoint inhibitor therapy to develop an immune-related adverse event (irAE).
Some people who have what doctors currently call schizophrenia or bipolar disease may actually have a brain disease caused by auto-antibodies. Auto-antibodies are produced when the normal defense mechanism of the body goes wrong and begins to attack the body, similar to "friendly fire." Auto-antibodies attack brain receptors and then the person who has this problem begins to have hallucinations and other manifestations of schizophrenia, like feeling that people can see what they are thinking and also feeling that other people do not like them. If this disease is caused by auto-antibodies, typically the person is well until they are 15 years of age or older, but seldom older than 35 years. Then, in a matter of a few months they begin to have hallucinations and the other symptoms. Doctors still do not know whether some people with schizophrenia or bipolar disease have auto-antibodies attacking their brain. For this reason, in this study some of these patients will receive a treatment that suppresses the auto-antibodies and their symptoms after treatment will be compared with the symptoms of a group of similar patients who are given a preparation that looks like the real treatment, but it is not.
The purpose of this study is to gain more information about the step-by-step process that causes someone to develop type 1 diabetes. Scientists think that a person's own immune system, directed by genetic and environmental factors play a major role in its development. Participation involves a blood draw, a brief medical history questionnaire and measurements of height and weight. Some participants will be asked to return for annual follow-up visits for 10 years.
The purpose of this study is to see if the study medication, daratumumab, is safe to treat individuals with Anti-Phospholipid Syndrome (APS). Three daratumumab dosing cohorts are planned with up to six participants in each dosing cohort with the potential to enroll an additional 4 subjects in the highest safe dose (HSD) cohort, for a total of up to 22 participants. The dosing cohorts are: 4 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg, and 16 mg/kg. Each cohort will receive intravenous (IV) administration of daratumumab according to the following schedule, for a total of 8 doses. The primary objective is to determine the safety of daratumumab in APS defined as Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) occurring during the dose escalation phase.
This multi-arm, multi-site study investigates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of stem cell therapy for the treatment of various acute and chronic conditions. Clinically observed initial findings and an extensive body of research indicate regenerative treatments are both safe and effective for the treatment of multiple conditions.
Vagal nerve stimulation is a neurosurgical procedure consisting of implantation of an impulse generator battery with leads placed into the vagus nerve in the neck. This procedure was FDA approved for epilepsy in the 1990s and is commonly performed as an outpatient surgery. The mechanism of action is not well understood; however it is increasingly recognized that electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve may impact other organ systems in the body including the immune and gastrointestinal systems. Concrete characterization of the peripheral effects of VNS in human gut microbiome and immune systems will: (1) elucidate peripheral mechanism of action of chronic VNS therapy, (2) identify peripheral preoperative biomarker of VNS efficacy, and (3) create a foundation for research investigating new GM and IM-related disease indications for VNS. The primary objective of this study is to characterize the pre- and post-operative oral and gut microbiome of patients implanted with vagal nerve stimulator (VNS) for epilepsy. Secondary objectives of this study include: (1) to characterize the pre-operative and post-operative immune profile of patients undergoing VNS implantation for epilepsy, (2) to elucidate whether oral and/or gut microbiota changes are related to VNS efficacy for epilepsy and (3) identification of a biomarker predicting VNS efficacy.
The Mycophenolate Pregnancy Registry is designed as a prospective, observational registry collecting data regarding mycophenolate exposure during pregnancy, and pregnancy outcomes, fetal and infant outcomes after exposure. Early and later term pregnancy outcomes will be solicited at selected gestational time points. Structural and functional birth defects identified in the perinatal period through one year of life will be collected and classified. This is a non-proprietary registry and is a component of a comprehensive pregnancy Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) plan required by the FDA for all mycophenolate-formulations, including CellCept, Myfortic and any generic formulations.
