Lupkynis

This is a Phase IV, open-label, randomized trial to determine whether the combination of Belimumab (BEL) and Voclosporin (VCS), plus background therapy with Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF), improves the proportion of patients with proliferative lupus nephritis achieving complete renal response (CRR) compared to proportion of patients achieving CRR from recent clinical trials. This protocol will additionally determine whether combination therapy using Belimumab (BEL) and Voclosporin (VCS) facilitates rapid discontinuation of MMF.

Following Liver transplantation, recipients remain on life long immunosuppression. Prolonged exposure to immunosuppression is associated with side effects and complications including kidney dysfunction, diabetes, heart disease and cancer risk. Therefore studies are looking at safe ways to reduce or stop immunosuppression. An individual without autoimmune liver disease (these patients are at higher risk of rejection), without history of rejection, with normal blood tests (liver biochemistry, liver function, etc.) can be eligible for minimization of immunosuppression. A recent study showed use of fibroscan (an Ultrasound, which provides information on liver stiffness (diseased liver is hard while a normal liver is soft) and fat content) provides more objective information to help investigators select individuals who will tolerate immunosuppression minimization. Our goal is to see if use of fibroscan allows the investigators to safely minimize immunosuppression in eligible individuals. The secondary aims are to assess benefit on kidney function, heart disease and risk factors for heart disease.

The primary objective is to investigate the safety and efficacy of TNX-1500, an FC-modified anti-CD154 mAb, in five kidney transplant recipients at 12 months.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if cenerimod, on top of regular treatment, works to treat active lupus nephritis in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus and active lupus nephritis. It will also learn about the safety of cenerimod. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does cenerimod improve kidney function in participants? * What medical problems do participants have when taking cenerimod? Researchers will compare cenerimod to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see how well cenerimod works when it is added to regular treatment. Participants will: * Take cenerimod or a placebo every day for 76 weeks (approximately 1.5 years), on top of regular treatment. * Visit the clinic every 1 to 3 months for checkups and tests.

This study will have two Phases: Phase 1a and Phase 1b. The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug KITE-363, to establish dosing, tolerability, safety, and preliminary efficacy of KITE-363 in participants with refractory autoimmune diseases. The primary objectives of this study are: Phase 1a: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of KITE-363 in participants with autoimmune disease. To determine the recommended dose for Phase 1b. Phase 1b: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of KITE-363 in participants with autoimmune disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and drug levels of CC-97540 in participants with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) including lupus nephritis with inadequate response to glucocorticoids and at least 2 immunosuppressants.

This is an open-label, single-institution study to assess the safety and the efficacy of the Sip-Tego regimen for the induction of donor-specific immunologic unresponsiveness to a renal allograft. The investigators propose to treat 6 adult subjects in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who do not demonstrate evidence of prior sensitization.

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 goal of this wait-list control trial is to learn if having access to a new dashboard displaying information about immunosuppressed Veterans missing vaccinations for Shingrix can improve Shingrix vaccination rates at VA facilities. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer is: Will vaccination rates improve more rapidly for facilities with access to the dashboard compare to facilities without access? VA facility personnel will be granted access to the dashboard and outcomes (vaccination rates) will be measured using electronic health record data.

Adjuvant, non-live RSV vaccine will be administered to adult lung and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. The safety and immunogenicity of this intervention will be studied. Blood work will be collected before and after the intervention, to assess humoral and cellular immunity. Participants will be followed for adverse reaction, hospitalization, RSV breakthrough infection, graft rejection or graft versus host disease. This study has Health Canada and UHN REB approval.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rapcabtagene autoleucel (administered once following lymphodepletion) in patients with active, refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or active, refractory lupus nephritis (LN).

This is an open-label, multi-center, non-randomized, Phase 1/2 study to determine the safety and tolerability of NKX019 (allogeneic CAR NK cells targeting CD19) in participants with active lupus nephritis (LN) or primary membranous nephropathy (pMN).
