Clinical Trials

The goal of CONTROL-RA is to see how the experimental study drug, VIB4920, affects control of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The goal of the VIBRANT trial is to determine if treating lupus nephritis with VIB4920 in addition to standard therapy is more effective than treating lupus nephritis with standard therapy alone.

The goal of the ADAPT study is to study whether using two drugs, carfilzomib and belatacept, together can lower the number of plasma cells in “highly sensitized” people on the kidney transplant waiting list.

The goal of ATTAIN is to study whether using two drugs, daratumumab and belatacept, together can lower the number of plasma cells in “highly sensitized” people on the kidney transplant waiting list.

GRADUATE is a clinical research trial, which will test whether a novel drug called Dupixent® given with grass pollen immunotherapy will help the immunotherapy work in a shorter treatment period and remain effective after the completion of treatment.

The REVEAL study will investigate whether the experimental study medication, AMG714, can bring back normal color to the skin in vitiligo.

REBOOT will test whether a combination of, belimumab and rituximab, is safe and if this combination is more effective at blocking the immune attack on the kidney of patients with Primary Membranous Neuropathy (MN).

BEAT-MS is a clinical trial comparing chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) – a type of bone marrow transplantation – to the most effective medicines regularly used to treat relapsing MS.

TEACH is a clinical trial investigating whether cells from the kidney donor's bone marrow, called mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) will allow kidney transplant recipients to stop immunosuppressive medications.

ACTIVATE is a clinical trial investigating the impact of the infant microbiome on allergy development.

LITTMUS is a clinical research study testing a new approach to achieve transplant tolerance using the liver transplant recipient’s own T regulatory cells (Tregs).

LEAP Trio is a follow-up to the LEAP study of early peanut consumption. LEAP Trio will investigate the durability of tolerance to peanut allergen in LEAP participants at age 12, development of peanut allergy in younger siblings of LEAP participants, and parental characteristics that may impact development of food allergy.

BRAVOS is a clinical trial evaluating Brentuximab Vendotin treatment for Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis.

T1DES is a clinical study for people with type 1 diabetes who were previously enrolled in an ITN clinical study.

OPTIMAL is a clinical trial that will be investigating immunosuppression withdrawal in liver transplant recipients.

The objective of the CALIBRATE study is to determine if treating lupus nephritis with a combination of rituximab (Rituxan®) and cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan®), or a combination of rituximab and cyclophosphamide followed by treatment with belimumab (Benlysta®) is safe and if this drug combination can block the immune system attacks on the kidney.

The goal of the CAT EEC study is to directly compare allergic responses to cat by environmental exposure chamber vs. nasal allergen challenge to better understand and employ these methods as allergy evaluation tools in clinical trials.

EXTEND is a clinical research study that will test whether a therapy called tocilizumab (Actemra®) can stop the immune system from attacking the remaining beta cells and possibly extend the ability to naturally produce insulin in individuals recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

CATNIP is a clinical research trial, which will test whether a novel therapeutic approach, cat immunotherapy combined with an investigational new drug called MEDI9929/AMG 157 (an anti-TSLP antibody being co-developed by Amgen and Medimmune) can lead to lasting tolerance to cat allergen. This study will implement the concept referred to as “allergen-plus,” which aims to enhance the disease-modifying mechanisms of allergen-specific immunotherapy by combining it with other anti-inflammatory or immune-modulating agents.

PAUSE is a clinical trial testing the effectiveness of ustekinumab (STELARA ®) followed by an investigational drug, abatacept, for the treatment of psoriasis. The main goal of the study is to determine the efficacy of abatacept to induce prolonged remission.
