NCT06389474
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of INM004 in pediatric patients with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome associated to infection by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC-HUS).
NCT05219110
The objective of this study is to determine if early high volume intravenous fluid administration (hyperhydration) may be effective in mitigating or preventing complications of shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) infection in children and adolescents when compared with traditional approaches (conservative fluid management).
NCT04132375
The investigational medicinal product (IMP), INM004, proposes to neutralize the toxin in the bloodstream to prevent the interaction of the Stx with the specific receptor, by means of a polyclonal antibody to be administered upon the appearance of symptoms (bloody diarrhea) and diagnosis of infection by STEC, thereby preventing the action of the toxin in the body. Thus, the initial hypothesis for examination is for the prevention of the full expression of HUS, based upon presumptive clinical, biochemical, and other biological evidence suggesting a risk of HUS at the time of treatment application. The polyclonal antibody (F(ab')2 fragment) is obtained by processing the serum of equine animals previously immunized against engineered Stx1B and Stx2B immunogens. INM004 could be administered at the earlier stages of STEC disease since subjects with STEC diarrhea are more likely to benefit from Stx neutralizing antibodies before the development of extra-intestinal manifestations and HUS. Neutralizing equine anti-Stx F(ab')2 antibodies (INM004) have the objective of preventing the development of HUS by blocking the circulating toxins in patients infected with STEC. Therefore, INM004 may be used in patients with a clinical manifestation of bloody diarrhea and a positive Stx result in feces. Early interruption of the Stx mediated cascade is expected to prevent the development of HUS, alleviate the severity of the illness, the rate of complications and the incidence/duration of hospitalizations. Therefore, patients in the early phases of the disease will be targeted in this study, ie, children who seek medical care due to diarrhea associated with STEC infection before HUS development.
NCT01194973
The record Primary purpose is to assess the efficacy of eculizumab in adult patients with Atypical Hemolytic- Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) to control Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) as characterized by thrombocytopenia, hemolysis and renal impairment.
NCT01193348
The primary purpose is to assess the efficacy and safety of eculizumab in pediatric patients with aHUS to control TMA as characterized by thrombocytopenia, hemolysis and renal impairment.
NCT01666548
The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical, cognitive outcome and psychosocial outcome of haemolytic uraemic syndrome in childhood. The haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) is the leading cause of acute renal failure in childhood. The more common typical HUS is mostly caused by Shigatoxin-producing enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). The rarer atypical HUS is mainly caused by different genetic abnormalities in complement regulatory proteins. About 50 till 60 percent of all patients with HUS develop a severe acute renal failure and require dialysis. Resulting from new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches the survival rate increased during the last years. Despite this, there are only few data concerning long-term prognosis, cognitive and motoric development, as well as psychological coping and health-related quality of life of affected children and their parents.
NCT01406288
The Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) in its typical form occurs after a food born infection with a shiga-toxin secreting bacteria, usually Escherichia coli of the O157H7 serotype. An outbreak of bloody diarrhea followed by HUS begun after a collective meal with 120 persons on June 8th, 2011 in Bègles, a city of Bordeaux urban area (CUB). At least 9 patients, 8 adults and 1 child have been involved in this HUS outbreak, E. coli of the O104:H4 serotype being demonstrated in most patients. This outbreak is remarkable by its preponderance in adults and women, its aggressiveness with multiorgan involvement , i.e. the kidneys, brain, liver, pancreas, and skin. Pathophysiology, prognosis, and treatment of typical HUS are poorly defined, particularly in adults who are usually not involved in typical E. coli O157H7 HUS. The aim of the present study is to gain knowledge on these different aspects of the HUS, including response to therapy.
