Clinical Trials

Building on clinical trial and laboratory research insights from the past decade, the ITN has focused and deliberate strategies to achieving tolerance in each disease area. The research supported by the ITN has unlocked new therapeutic approaches and discovered new biomarkers that promise to change the way physicians treat patients. Explore ITN clinical trials below by using a search term or by sorting the specific trial categories. If you have questions or want more information about ITN clinical trials, contact us.

Measuring Allospecific Impact of Belatacept/Carfilzomib Desensitization (ADAPT)

Principal Investigator:

Stuart Knechtle, MD | Duke University Hospital

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.

Daratumumab plus belatacept desensitization trial (ATTAIN)

Principal Investigator:

Flavio G. Vincenti, MD | University of California, San Francisco Medical Center

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.

VIB4920 for Active Lupus Nephritis (VIBRANT)

Principal Investigator:

Betty Diamond, MD | Feinstein Institute for Medical Research

David Wofsy, MD | University of California San Francisco School of Medicine

Maria Dall'Era, MD | University of California San Francisco School of Medicine

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.

Daratumumab For Antiphospholipid Syndrome (DARE-APS)

Principal Investigator:

Doruk Erkan, MD, MPH | Hospital for Special Surgery

Jason Knight, MD, PhD | University of Michigan

A study about the safety of daratumumab in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), and its effectiveness at reducing the antiphospholipid antibodies that cause APS.

Siplizumab in T1DM (DESIGNATE)

Principal Investigator:

Stephen Gitelman, MD | University of California San Francisco

DESIGNATE is a clinical study to identify a safe, metabolically favorable, dosing regimen for siplizumab in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Follow-up of individual T cell mobilization through TCR integration

Principal Investigator:

Jean Paul Soullilou | Institute de Transplantation | Nantes, France

This trial investigates the landscape of blood T lymphocytes in patients with active forms of multiple sclerosis. The goal of the study is to demonstrate T cell receptor (TCR) patterns that are specific for disease activity at the patient level and then to use this “TCR signature” to follow regulation of auto reactive T cells, particularly during tolerance induction.

Cytokine Production in Children with Pre-Clinical and Clinical Type 1 Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (ABBA)

Principal Investigator:

Jorma Ilonen | University of Turku | Turku, Finland

This clinical trial is being performed in collaboration with the Finnish Diabetes Prediction and Prevention project and is studying individuals in various stages of prediabetes who receive intranasal insulin as part of a secondary prevention trial. The ITN is funding the support of additional laboratory studies to identify biomarkers that can predict the onset of type 1 diabetes and to learn more about the natural history of the disease.

Mechanistic Studies in a Phase II Trial of Multiple Sclerosis with Altered Peptide Ligand (APL)

Principal Investigator:

Jack Antel | Montreal Neurological Institute | Montreal, Quebec | Canada

This study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a 5 mg dose of the study drug, NBI-5788, for treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients. A prior phase 2 trial conducted with this drug demonstrated suggestive evidence of treatment benefit with a 5 mg dose of NBI-5788.

Monitoring of CMV-specific T-cells following tolerance induction protocols: A safety approach

Principal Investigator:

Florian Kern | Institut für Medizinische Immunologie | Berlin, Germany

This study seeks to optimize and standardize an existing assay which allows the T-cell response directed against in transplant recipients who undergo immune tolerance induction. This study employs a rapid laboratory test that would enable the transplant physicians to look at the patient's immune response to this model virus.
