6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
T cells, a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte, play an important role in the immune system. One subtype, the regulatory T cell (Treg) helps to regulate the immune system and may provide protection against the development of autoimmune disease. The hope is that these naturally occurring Treg cells can be utilized for the treatment of autoimmune disease and potentially replace the use of chronic immunosuppressive therapies that are associated with multiple side effects. There has been a small study showing safe administration of Tregs with decreased disease activity in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes. Tregs are being studied in lupus, cancer and organ transplantation. This phase I trial will be conducted as an open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter trial in adult participants with active pemphigus.The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effect of Treg therapy in participants who have skin (cutaneous) involvement due to pemphigus.
This was 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 provided extension of efgartigimod PH20 SC treatment and retreatment options for participants who had been randomized to efgartigimod PH20 SC treatment arm in the trial ARGX-113-1904, and first treatment of efgartigimod PH20 SC and retreatment options for participants who had been randomized to the placebo arm in trial ARGX-113-1904. The participants could also receive concomitant prednisone therapy. Investigators could increase or decrease the prednisone dose based on protocol-specified criteria. Trial ARGX-113-1905 evaluated the 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 CR or CRmin, and the ability to treat flare; it also assessed 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
This was a multicenter, open-label safety study to determine the dose regimen of SYNT001 (ALXN1830) administered intravenously in participants with pemphigus (vulgaris or foliaceus).
Pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are severe autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBD) that pose a critical need for new therapeutic approaches. Clinical trials in pemphigus and BP will require the availability of validated disease severity measures that can be used to define primary outcomes.
This was a Phase 3 randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (blinded treatment \[BT\] period) followed by an open-label extension \[OLE\] period intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral PRN1008 in moderate to severe pemphigus. After completing the open-label extension period, eligible participants might continue in a long term extension (LTE) Period of 48 weeks.
