Clinical Trials

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
