The goal of this pragmatic embedded open-label, 2 x 2 factorial phase II randomized controlled trial is to evaluate strategies to improve COVID-19 booster and influenza vaccine immunogenicity in people living with immunocompromising conditions (PLIC). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is co-administration of seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) with the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster dose non-inferior in inducing a 1-month peak protective humoral response against COVID-19, compared to a strategy of sequential administration of COVID-19 booster dose followed by seasonal IIV given one month later? 2. Is the administration of the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster doses at 3-month intervals superior at maintaining a longer term protective humoral immune response, compared to booster doses administered at 6-month intervals? Researchers will compare (1) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (2) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (3) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval, and (4) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval to see if median neutralization capacity of patient sera is non-inferior in the co- vs. sequential administration arms at 1-month after the initial COVID-19 booster and superior in the 3-month interval arms vs. the 6-month interval arms at 12 months after the initial COVID-19 booster. These outcomes will also be compared at 2-months for question 1 and 6-months for question 2. People living with immunocompromising conditions who take part in the trial will have blood samples drawn to verify immune response, be monitored for changes in clinical events and therapies, and complete questionnaires to verify adverse effects, quality of life and economic impact.

CAR T-cell Therapy Targeting CD19 and BCMA in Patients With B cell mediated autoimmune disease.

Autoimmune diseases refer to a common category of diseases caused by the immune system reacting to self-antigens, leading to tissue damage. Autoimmune diseases encompass a wide variety of conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus（SLE）, Sjögren's syndrome (SS), systemic sclerosis (SSc), inflammatory myopathies (IM), ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). They affect the quality of life, while in severe cases, they can be life-threatening. Additionally, they impose a heavy economic burden on society. Current treatments for autoimmune diseases include glucocorticoid, immunosuppressants, and biologics. B cell-driven humoral immune abnormalities are a central pathogenic mechanism in many autoimmune diseases. When autoreactive B cells are excessively activated, they produce large amounts of autoantibodies and immune complexes. These antibodies and immune complexes can cause damage to various tissues and organs, leading to the development of multiple autoimmune diseases. Therefore, targeting B cells to treat autoimmune diseases is an attractive therapeutic strategy. Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cells targeting the B cell surface molecule CD19 have achieved significant clinical progress in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with several CD19 CAR-T therapies approved for marketing worldwide. Increasingly, clinical studies are exploring the use of CD19 CAR-T cells for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and their therapeutic efficacy has been demonstrated. In this study, the investigators used γδ T cells as carrier cells to investigate the safety and efficacy of universal CAR-γδ T cells in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

NCT06642870
The rare autoimmune rheumatic diseases (RAIRDs) are life-long multi-system diseases that are life or organ threatening. RAIRDs can impair quality of life similar to chronic diseases such as heart failure. The aim of the study is to explore content and structure of a support programme for people with RAIRDs in focus groups and survey meetings.

NCT01716312
Background: * Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is an autoimmune disease, which means the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. SLE can involve almost any organ and its symptoms can range in severity from mild to life-threatening; symptoms also vary from person to person. Current treatments for lupus are not effective for some people. Medications used to treat lupus can have serious side effects. * Omalizumab is a drug that has been used to treat severe allergic asthma. It helps to prevent allergic reactions by reducing some antibodies in the blood. These antibodies are also present in some people with Lupus. Researchers want to see if omalizumab is a safe and effective treatment for people with Lupus. Objectives: \- To test the safety of omalizumab for people with lupus. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have moderately active Lupus even with standard treatments. Design: * Subject screening will take place at the NIH Clinical Center and will include a medical history, a physical exam, blood and urine laboratory tests, an assessment of Lupus disease activity. Some participants may require some additional testing. All eligible persons who are interested in enrolling will be asked to come back to the NIH within 2 weeks to begin the study. * The study will be conducted in three phases, with a total of 15 study visits over 38 weeks. Two visits will be overnight hospital stays. The rest will be outpatient visits. During each visit the participants will be monitored by doing a physical exam, assessment of their lupus disease activity, review of any treatment related side effects, blood and urine testing. * For the first phase, participants will have infusions (under their skin) of either omalizumab or a placebo. They will have an overnight hospital stay for the first infusion and then an outpatient safety monitor visit 2 weeks after. If subjects safety measures are good they will return in 2 weeks and receive the second dose. They will then get three more doses every 4 weeks which will be given during outpatient visits to the NIH. * In the second phase, which begins at the 16th week of the study, all participants will receive omalizumab. This means that subjects who had been getting omalizumab will continue receiving it and subjects who had been receiving the placebo will now begin getting omalizumab. They will have an overnight hospital stay for this infusion and will return in 2 weeks for a safety monitor visit. If subjects safety measures are good they will return in 2 weeks and receive the next dose. They will then get three more doses every 4 weeks which will be given during outpatient visits to the NIH. * The third phase will be a final series of visits which will take place at week 32 and week 36. During these visits subjects will have a physical exam which includes disease activity assessment, blood and urine tests. No medication will be given during these visits. * All subjects will be given information, instruction and medications for possible allergic reactions to omalizumab. * Throughout the study other tests and procedures will be performed as needed.
