EncompaSSc: Evaluation of MTX-474 in Participants With Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (dcSSc)

A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety and Efficacy of MTX-474 in Participants with Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (dcSSc)

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 it may help reduce disease activity or improve symptoms. QEL-005 is made from a participant's own white blood cells (autologous cells). These cells are collected and then changed in a laboratory using genetic methods to create specialized immune cells called CAR-T regulatory cells that target a protein on B cells called CD19. These modified cells are then given back to the participant by intravenous (IV) infusion. To take part, eligible participants will first have a procedure called leukapheresis, where some of their white blood cells are removed from the blood. The study team will use these cells to manufacture QEL005. After QEL005 is ready, participants will receive an IV infusion of their modified cells, stay in hospital overnight for monitoring, and will then be followed closely in the clinic. Throughout the trial, participants will have regular safety checks, which may include blood tests, imaging scans, questionnaires about symptoms and daily functioning, and biopsies taken from involved tissues, to help understand how QEL005 is working in the body. Detailed follow up will be for 1 year after QEL-005 infusion, and there is long-term follow up for a total of 15 years, which is standard for cell therapies. The information from this Phase 1/2 study will help determine an appropriate dose and dosing schedule of QEL005 for future studies.

A Clinical Study to Evaluate Ianalumab in Participants With Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of s.c. ianalumab administered in participants with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis relative to placebo

CARTIMMUNE: Study of Patients With Autoimmune Diseases Receiving KYV-101

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of KYV 101 (a fully-human anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy) in adult subjects with B cell-driven autoimmune diseases. The trial anticipates enrolling participants to reach a maximum of 24 participants who will receive 1 dose of KYV-101 and will be followed for 2 years.

A Study of CNTY-101 in Participants With Refractory B Cell-mediated Autoimmune Diseases

CALiPSO-1 is a Phase 1, multi-centre, dose-confirmation study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CNTY-101 in participants with refractory B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases including those with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with or without lupus nephritis (LN), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), and diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (DcSSc).

A Safety and Efficacy Study Evaluating CTX112 in Adult Subjects With Refractory Autoimmune Disease

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).

Phase 2 Safety and Efficacy Study of Tulisokibart (MK-7240/PRA023) in Subjects With Systemic Sclerosis Associated With Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD) (MK-7240-007)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of tulisokibart in participants with SSc-ILD.

Safety and Efficacy of Baricitinib on Skin Tightening in Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis: A Comparative Study With Methotrexate

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic autoimmune disease. It causes progressive skin tightening, pulmonary fibrosis, organ damage and many other physical dysfunctions. It is divided into two types, limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) and diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSCc). Skin involvement in systemic sclerosis is assessed by modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS). Methotrexate is a drug used in the treatment of skin tightening in SSc but has inconsistent response . Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are a class of drugs that may be used in skin involvement in dcSSc. Among them, baricitinib, a JAK 1/2 inhibitor, has shown some efficacy in dcSSc. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of baricitinib on skin tightening in dcSSc patients. This open label randomized clinical trial will be conducted in department of rheumatology, BSMMU. Systemic sclerosis will be diagnosed by ACR/EULAR classification criteria 2013. Among them who have diffuse cutaneous involvement will be considered primary entry criteria for this study. Consecutive sampling method will be applied. Participants will be divided into two groups, group A and group B. Group A will be put on tab. baricitinib 4 mg daily and group B will be put on tab. methotrexate 25 mg weekly with folic acid 5 mg weekly. All participants will be assessed for mRSS, CDAI at baseline and laboratory tests like CBC, ESR, CRP, SGPT, serum creatinine, CXR P/A view etc. Follow up will be done at 4, 12, 24 weeks. Response to treatment will be assessed by modified Rodnan skin score. Primary endpoint of efficacy will be assessed by the end of 24th week. adverse effects will be assessed by history, physical examination and investigations. The data will be analyzed by SPSS version 25. results will be recorded using means and standard deviations. Result will be compared among groups with a 95% confidence interval and a p-value 0f\<0.05. The degrees of statistical significance between groups will be analyzed by unpaired t test (for quantitative normally distributed data) and Mann Whitney U test for skewed distribution. Qualitative data in between groups will be analyzed by chi square test. Probabilities of association will be assessed by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. P value of \< 0.05 will be regarded as statistically significant.

Extracorporeal Photopheresis in Early Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility, safety and preliminary efficacy of Extracorporeal Photopheresis in the treatment of active diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc). This pilot study will help to determine if further study (a RCT) is justified.

Efficacy and Safety of Telitacicept in the Treatment of Systemic Sclerosis

This study is a prospective, open-label, randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical trial. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Telitacicept in adults with early diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc), with Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) administered as a background treatment.
