Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Caregivers of Children With a RASopathy: An Internal Pilot Feasibility Study and Follow-up Randomized Controlled Trial
Background RASopathies are a group of genetic diseases that affect a child s development. They cause physical, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms. Caring for a child with a RASopathy can be stressful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapy that helps people become more aware and accepting of difficult thoughts …
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) and Facial Dysmorphism: Non-invasive 3D Assessment
The goal of this study observational prospective study is to define the facial morphological features associated with Marfan syndrome (MFS). The main qustion it aims to answer are: To describe the facial morphological features associated with MFS and their evolution over time; To study the association between facial morphology and …
Open-label Single-Center Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Combining Rituximab and AB-101 in B-cell Associated 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) …
UC-MSC Cell Therapy Study for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of UC-MSCs in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The main questions this study aims to answer are: Can UC-MSCs improve kidney function and reduce SLE disease activity? Are UC-MSCs safe and well-tolerated in this patient population? …
The RheumSafer Study: Improving Medication Appropriateness in People With Rheumatic Conditions
The goal of this prospective observational quality improvement study is to determine if a physician tool, MedSafer, combined with educational brochures for patients, can help to reduce the use of 'potentially inappropriate medications' (PIMs) in adults aged 60 and over with rheumatic conditions and polypharmacy (taking 5 or more regular …
The Role of Anifrolumab in Improving Markers of Vascular Risk in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) - IFN-CVD
Background People with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at risk of developing complications in their blood vessels. This can increase the risk of heart attacks or stroke. No medications have been effective at reducing this risk in people with lupus. Objective To test whether a drug (anifrolumab) can improve blood …
Controlling Hyperactive Immunity With Long-lived Lymphocytes
This study is a Phase 1/2, open-label clinical trial to test an experimental treatment called QEL-005 in adults with two autoimmune conditions: diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) and difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (D2TRA). The main goals are to find out whether QEL-005 is safe, how well people tolerate it, and whether …
Interrogating the Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Constipation in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis
The purpose of this study is to determine whether transcutaneous electrical acustimulation (TEA) alters systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related colonic and anorectal physiology by enhancing autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. The study will examine the effects of TEA on slow colonic transit (SCT) and rectal hyposensitivity (RH), to examine whether TEA improves …
Development of a Therapeutic Endpoint in Pediatric Rheumatologic Conditions
The overarching goal of this study is the development of a physiologic endpoint of pain and treatment effect in three distinct rheumatology populations. This would enable objective assessment of pain and treatment in these populations and enable a much more precise approach to treatment. Such an endpoint stands to significantly …
CAR-T Cells in Systemic B Cell Mediated Autoimmune Disease
The investigational product is designed to effectively combat B cells in patients with autoimmune diseases. Autologous T cells enriched with CD4/CD8 are genetically engineered using a lentiviral vector to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that target the CD19 antigen on the cell surface of B cells and their precursors. During …
